**Turn around for orders right now is up to 4 weeks.**
Our very own design, 3D printed into reality. To see the machine in action follow our journey on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bearvalleyfibres
This Sock Knitting Machine was designed for ease of use. With quick-removable cams, yarn guide and row counter, you have full unimpeded access to every needle without any extra complicated steps, tools or machine disassembly. The machine can be clamped onto the edge of a table or desk for usage and easily removed and stored once finished. For those with dedicated craft spaces, the machine offers the option of being bolted down instead of clamped. The machine is modular and upgradable, too!
Although they are helpful to have on hand the setup bonnets, weights and other accessories are available for purchase separately. If you would like a different size of cylinder, they are also available to purchase separately, just make sure you order extra needles so you have enough!
The recommended yarn weight to use with our machine is a fingering/sock weight.
Everything else you need to get started comes in the box:
- 1 Sock Knitting Machine.
- 1 table mount adapter (for use with clamps).
- 3 cylinders of your choosing
- 1 cylinder spring.
- Up to 72 compound needles, depending on the cylinders chosen (plus 3 spares).
- 1 digital row counter with mount (battery not included).
- 2 clamps.
- 1 loom pick.
- 1 crochet hook.
- 1 latch hook.
- 1 needle lifter.
- 1 measuring tape.
- 1 ruler.
- 1 snip scissors.
- 1 cable cuff.
- 2 rip cords.
- Stitch markers.

Need a printed part replaced? Send us a photo of the part and we will be happy to ship you a replacement for the cost of shipping during the first 12 months.
Refurbished machines have the same warranty and support, they are just machines that have been returned to us and repaired, had parts replaced and are tested to be fully functioning.
Need help using the machine? We are working on our own library of support documents and videos.
Thank you for helping us along our journey.
I looked it over and it seems strong and the right size. I thought the grey on the bottom was interesting. I wondered if it was for reinforcement or differentiation. I still have to use it. Working on a ten sock colorwork project right now from the 54 needle cylinder now. I plan to use this cylinder for my grandchildren. Thank you!
a few minor things were missing but sent out right away.
would suggest that maybe a little info on heel forks would be good for the beginner.
good customer service-no complaints
machine works as it is supposed to!!
The CSM is well made and works well. The customer service is amazing and I am thankful to finally be fulfilling my dream of a CSM machine.
Arrivé dans une semaine
All is working well. I was struggling immensely getting it to start a tube, but I watched a youtube video that helped. She said, "Take things slowly. This is a hobby so take it slow" I was pretty high strung at the moment so it helped me calm down and enjoy it. I made my own, temporary setup bonnet by crocheting a picot edge on an older knitted tube, and temporary weights, legumes in a thin sock, and tried again. This time it 'actually' worked lol.
I'm looking forward to a very long time with this 'hobby' and intentionally "taking it slow".
Thank you!

the package came with everything listed on the website and for a refurbished machine - I could not tell what had been done to it.
it is in fantastic condition and I love the color
it cranks smoothly and the videos on the site were so helpful in getting things set up
This machine is very 'first time user' friendly, it comes with everything you need to start with and Rachel has been so supportive in trying to get me cranking. I love my machine. I recommend getting the 3 smaller cylinders to start with. I made the mistake of ordering the 62, 66 and 72 whilst the 62 fits my partner it's too wide for the rest of the family. This machine is everything I was hoping it would be, and I'm so excited that I will be making socks for friends and family.
seller was kind and communicative about a small delay, but it still arrived quickly. there was a learning curve, but as someone who has worked on a flat machine for a few years, nothing was too hard to work out. great product! thank you!
Thank you Rachel! The replacement parts are perfekt!!
I really, really like this CSM knitting machine; it is well worth the price, which is quite affordable in comparison to others or making it yourself. It is light weight, portable and easy to use. Cranks smoothly, is quiet and so far I am very happy with it. I hope it lasts for many, many years with good care. I am so pleasantly surprised with the color choice I made for NEPTUNE; it is such a beautiful iridescent blue, green and teal. It’s not a glitter filament, but it has this gorgeous matte shimmer to it. I attached a photo with flash so you can see the coloration. Fantastic customer service! Thank you, again!
Very easy to use took out of the box cranked 5 pair of socks in first week of having machine!! Rachel is a great help as well if you have any questions very fast responses
Firstly, I just want to say that Rachel is a sweetheart to deal with. Thank you, Rachel!
I bought the Mercury colourway, which is such a pretty, sparkly blue/grey. The machine is sturdy and now that I know what I'm doing, works! 😂 I love that it came with three cylinders of choice and the needed tools.
