Bear Valley CSM Cylinders

Thanks for the 3 packages of Ashford's Corriedale Sliver wool in gorgeous colour combinations! Even better than I hoped!

Ich bin absolut begeistert von dieser Sockenstrickmaschine! Die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig, der Aufbau war unkompliziert und man merkt sofort, dass bei der Entwicklung viel Wert auf Benutzerfreundlichkeit gelegt wurde. Besonders gefällt mir, dass alle Nadeln gut zugänglich sind und sich viele Teile schnell entfernen lassen, ohne die Maschine aufwendig auseinanderbauen zu müssen.

Wie gut sich mit der Maschine stricken lässt, hängt allerdings auch sehr stark von der verwendeten Wolle ab. Mit passendem Sockengarn läuft sie wunderbar, während andere Garne etwas mehr Feingefühl erfordern. Das liegt aber in der Natur solcher Maschinen und nicht am Produkt selbst.

Zusätzlich habe ich einen Onlinekurs belegt, um den Umgang mit der Maschine schneller zu lernen. Diese Investition hat sich für mich definitiv gelohnt und hat den Einstieg deutlich erleichtert.

Dank dieser Maschine kann ich mir endlich einen lang gehegten Traum erfüllen: all die lieben Menschen in meinem Umfeld mit selbst gestrickten Socken zu versorgen. Ich freue mich schon auf viele weitere Paare und kann die Maschine jedem empfehlen, der Lust hat, sich auf das Maschinenstricken einzulassen.

I absolutely love this sock knitting machine! It is well made, easy to assemble, and you can tell that a lot of thought went into making it user-friendly. I especially appreciate how easy it is to access every needle without having to take the machine apart.

One thing I learned is that the knitting experience depends a lot on the yarn you use. With the right fingering or sock-weight yarn, the machine runs beautifully, while other yarns may require a bit more adjustment. That’s simply part of machine knitting and not a flaw of the machine itself.

I also took an online course to learn how to use the machine more quickly, and it made a huge difference. It helped me understand the setup and troubleshooting much faster.

Thanks to this machine, I can finally make a long-time dream come true: knitting socks for all the wonderful people in my life. I’m looking forward to making many more pairs, and I highly recommend this machine to anyone interested in sock knitting.

My dream of having a circulair sock knitting machine came true. Rachel answers all my questions. The delivery to The Netherlands was fast and perfect, the colour fantastic.
Now practice practice and practice…..

I have had my machine for over 2 years and I absolutely love it. I use it almost every day. The service and quality Rachel provides is great. Highly recommend it.

Fantastic quality starter machine. Highly recommend.

This machine is amazing and way better value than others I’ve seen. Rachel is helpful and has helped me to knit my first sock tube!!! Honestly go for it - sock cranking is fun x

It was a birthday present for my wife. She is really happy with it. Very solid build quality and after viewing YouTube also easy to operate. Thanks from the Netherlands..

I love my new machine!!! It seems to sturdy and well made, and was easy to get started on. I found the machine to knit smoothly, and didn’t experience any issues with stitches dropping, or managing the tension. While I have experience with flatbed machines, this is a little bit of a different vibe, though still pretty intuitive.

I found the booklet included and the YouTube videos to be really helpful for setting up my first crank. I also had questions while my machine was being made, and the team was very attentive and professional. Thank you for my machine :)

This machine is perfect for the person wanting to give a circular sock machine (CSM) a go. It’s sturdy, easy to assemble and operate. Although the cylinder rotates, instead of the cam shell, it’s still easily navigated when watching how-to videos for the different ways to operate the machine. The bonus is three cylinders! The downside is that it does not have a ribber yet, however, there is still a way around that (you’ll know at least two ways if you have a flatbed machine).

Works fine.

Fast shipping. All items were included. They fit the machine perfectly. Answered 2 questions very quickly.

Machine works perfectly! Also, my questions about shippong got answered really fast. Love my machine 10/10 would recommend to anyone <3

After accidentally breaking the handle gear of my CSM, I was so annoyed with myself but Rachel at Sound Yarn & Fibre came to my rescue! I was very impressed with the speed of the replacement and with the customer service I received.

Love the colour and look forward to getting everything working. I'm sure I will have a learning curve but sure that it will be great.

I am excited to try the sock knitting machine! Thank you!

Cheers
