Bear Valley CSM Cylinders

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.

Well made and easy to use.

Item as described. Fast shipping and thoughtful packaging :)

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

good quality!

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.

I'm crazy in love with this storage bin. It's great being able to use dividers to customize and the flip lid to keep everything in its own compartment is fantastic.

I have not tried it yet, but it arrived well packaged. Seller was great to deal with, lots of information on how to set up and use, I like the ability to replace parts and info on maintenance. Feels sturdy, well designed, and well assembled. I still like knitting socks, so I think this is the perfect machine for cranking a few extra socks out without the pressure of committing to an entire heavy-duty machine at major expense. In short, a great little machine that makes cranking socks a more viable option for the average knitter (like me!) :)
