John Bead 9x12 Felt

LOVE my new CSM!! I have hand knitted and crochet for over 50 years , Addi circular machine for apx 8 yrs. So I took to my Bear right away! The quality of the Bear CSM is wonderful. I am not so familiar with 3D printing so I was skeptical. Very Happy!!

This CSM exceeds my expectations. I knew there would be a learning curve but the videos helped so much that it was no time before I had two sock tubes. I’m going hems and heels next. I can’t wait to to bust down my sock yarn stash so I can buy more.

Hugely grateful to Rachel for replacing a cracked handle, free of charge and so quickly. Great service. Thank you!

Meine CSM ist heute angekommen bei der ersten Überprüfung war ich sehr begeistert von der Qualität. Ich bin sowas von gespannt , wenn ich sie aufgebaut habe und die Maschine in Aktion sehe. Vielen Dank an Rachel, die mir die Wartezeit, verkürzt hat…. Da ich viele Fragen hatte. Ein wirklich toller Service. Danke danke. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland Maik

Ich bin glücklich und sehr zufrieden. Freue mich Euch gefunden zu haben. Jetzt heißt üben üben und nochmal üben. Warte jetzt auf den Ribber.

Very happy with my purchase

Ivh Bin mehr als zufrieden

The CSM is well made, I love using it. It's a steep learning curve but the support from Caroline and Rachel has been great.

Love this beautiful machine! Runs so smooth , excellent quality.
Looking forward to cranking!!!!

I had never used a CSM before but I wanted to be able to knit sock tubes to add toes and heels (the interesting part). The setup was easy as I used the bonnet. I had a problem with the first rows though until I realized that I needed weights. I hadn't purchased weights as I'm in the UK, but I found that a can of lentils placed in the bonnet worked perfectly. A tube for three pairs of socks took less than two hours - I just need to find time now to knit the toes and heels!

Here is the first pair of toe up socks off the bear Valley machine. Thank you again Rachel

I cannot recommend this CSM enough. Easy to set up and understand, I was knitting beautiful socks within a day of setting it up. The stitch definitions and tension is perfect. The mechanism is smooth and easy. After sale support from Rachel and Caroline is fantastic too if you have any questions .

Can always depend on quality items and service from Rachel

I am very excited about receiving this machine from my husband! Starting was more error than success, but am making small successes! Right now am struggling with dropped stitches and tension errors on the heel. I found many of the online videos helpful, but not specific to this machine, ie, where on the “clock” should the main mark and halfway mark be for heels. I am confident that I am making it up the bell curve, and will do a happy dance when I complete that first sock! Right now I am very proficient at picking up stitches and casting on, both with and without a bonnet (which I was able to complete!)! Not too bad for first week!
