Occasionally Restored Sock Machines may be available to purchase
All
restored machines I sell
are guaranteed to
produce
a
knit sock, with unlimited support after the sale via email, phone or
in person. You will see actual close up photo's of
knitting on the machine you are purchasing.
To find out more about what restored
and refurbished machines are Click Here.
 Each antique machine that I sell has been
cleaned, polished, adjusted, timed and knitted on prior to
each sale.
All painted areas on the machines will remain in
their antique state which give each machine it's own personality,
and no two machines will look the same.
Prices for a sock machine can run from $1500 +
depending on the machine, number of cylinders, etc the prices will be
higher.
I have found that learning first how to knit
tubes, then heels/toes with practice yarn, helps the new person to
learn how to use the machines. The machines will not have a sock on
them when you get your machine, this is less stress on you to
try and make a matching sock. Learning the basics of knitting
on a sock machine will take a couple weeks of practice and most of
all patience.
If you are near Central Indiana I offer a free
class when you pick your new machine up.
All machines come with a copy of the Sock Knitting Machine 101 book, with written directions that tell
you in detail how to use the machine when you get the machine home.
Am a member of the CSMSA and as a member
I hope to see you at various sock machine events this year and in the
years to come.
I specialize in
Gearhart, Legare and Auto Knitter models.

Of a sock knitting machine you
see for sale that :
-
does not have knitting on it,
does not show the ribber in use
It is a knitting machine you should see it knitting.
-
Are the photos of the machine taken so far back, or
blurry that you can not see the condition of the
machine, stitches or worse rust.
-
Is there support from the seller offered to you after
the sale to help you with any and all questions you have
in your new hobby.
