Knitting Machine encyclopedia

This page will take you to my other blog, where I collect data on knitting machine models. So, welcome to my Knitting Machine Encyclopedia, and thank you for reading it!

There are so many various knitting machines that I simply could not fit all into the scope of this blog (dedicated to machines I test for customers).

The idea of the Knitting Machine Encyclopedia came to me when I just accumulated so much experience with fixing the machines I pass to my customers that it was simply exploding in my head and had to go somewhere else.

There are machines branded as and manufactured by Brother, Singer, Studio, Passap, Silver Reed, Elna, Elena, Corona, Genie, Empisial …just to name a few… There are vintage pushbutton and turn-knob machines and more modern ones with punchcard and electronic patterning capabilities… There are machines with huge needles (bulky-), with regular (standard-) and very small needles (fine-gauge).

By no means do I think I will have a full encyclopedia but I will try. The more articles I publish,  the more questions I get from the audience about the features of specific machines. While compounding this encyclopedia, I am discovering how much I don’t know about various machines out there… If you find the same in my blog, feel free to point it to me.

Let’s discover more and more knitting machines together!
