This machine appears to have never been used...tools were still wrapped in plastic...the bed is immaculate. It is a 6.5 gauge, mid-gauge lightweight knitting machine. It is made to knit DK yarn (22sts to 4 inches or 10 cm) but will knit finer and thicker yarns. Very easy to use, compact and lightweight so easy to store and carry. 140 needles. Knits stockinet, tuck, slip, plating and fair isle using slip stitch. Lace and cables can be made by hand manipulation. This is a very popular knitting machine. On the photos you can see that I have hand-tooled 1x1 rib and then knit a little lace. I have the original box. If you need a lesson on how to use it I will be happy to show you how to use it.
