Silver Reed LK150 Knitting Machine

The LK 150 knitting machine is perfect for beginners looking to dive into the world of knitting machines. With its lightweight and portable design, this machine offers a convenient way to create stockinette fabric with ease and efficiency.

We have a book resource too! Discovering Machine Knitting

Our most surprising find at our recent market trip was Knitting Machines! We learned there are only two companies still making knitting machines. And even those machines made by former companies are still out there working at 50 years old. We talked at length with the vendor and got the names of other shops we could talk to about their experience. The real cherry on the sundae was when we were with our friends Sweet Georgia Yarns, and after picking MANY different bases and colors, we asked Felicia if her color swatches were knit on a knitting machine. Oh my gosh, she is SO enthusiastic about knitting machines! She has a lot of tutorials (that we will be relying on).  We liked the idea of being able to knit  the beautiful, fun yoke of our sweaters and then use the machine for the less exciting bottom part. If Melissa was on board, then maybe we would give it a go! One of our big questions was: the knitting machine we're looking at creates flat fabric, how would that work for yoked sweater knit in the round? Felicia reassured us that we then hook the front half of your yoke (I'll add a lifeline :) to the machine and knit. We'll need to do a gauge swatch on the machine too to see how to match it to your fabric. We would need to seam up the sides, but with the time saved, we didn't think that was so bad!

Return Policy

To protect you from odd dye lots, odors, or allergens, yarn may not be returned. We want to be sure that each skein you get has come direct from the dyer, to the shop to you. Full priced items other than yarn may be exchanged for shop credit if Fuzzy Goat receives the item within 2 weeks of when you received the item. Curated boxes are not eligible for returns  

To be eligible for an exchange, there must be proof of purchase, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging and in re-saleable condition when Fuzzy Goat receives it. Shop credit will be for the items purchased and not inclusive of shipping. We recommend insuring your package as we cannot credit returns for items that do not arrive.

If you are requesting to cancel an order, within two hours of your order and we have not wound your yarn and it has not yet reached our Fulfillment Maven, we will issue you shop credit for your whole order. (We incur quite a few non-refundable fees from our merchant services as soon as your order is placed)

Thanks for your understanding.
