Brother KHC-820A color changer
Brother KHC-820A color changer is an add-on to almost all punchcard and electronic standad-gauge knitting machines manufactured by Brother. The manual states that it can even be used with Brother KH820 and Brother KH810 punchcard-based knitting machines. It is similar to the Brother KHC-820 color changer, thus, read my article on Brother KHC820 as well.…

Brother KHC800 color changer
It is very likely that Brother KHC-800 color changer was made for the Japanese market only as I could only find a manual written in Japanese and not in any other languages. The standard setup includes a sinker plate, the changer with four yarn change buttons, the knob for tightening the changer onto the arm,…

Brother KRC900 Color changer
Brother KRC color changer is compatible with bulky (like Brother KH260 and Brother KH270) and standard Brother knitting machines (starting from about KH830 and up), which makes it a very desirable accessory. The only other color changer that fits that many machines is Brother KRC-1100M and Brother KRC-1000E (if used manually, not electronically). It assists…

Brother KL117 knit leader
There is not much information on the Brother KL117 knit leader but it is very similar to the Brother KL116 charting device (so read my article on KL116). The minor difference I identified so far is the color scheme (I’ve seen two different color combos – white/grey and white/light-orange). Judging by the Japanese writing even…

Brother KL115 knit leader
There is not much information on the Brother KL115 knit leader but it is very similar to the Brother KL116 charting device (so read my article on KL116). The minor differences I identified so far is that KL115 has no biding wire in its standard set of assesories and the setting plates look a bit…

Brother KL116 knit leader
Brother KL116 knit leader is probably the most popular model of a charting device manufactured back in the times when Brother still made knitting machines. It fits a huge majority of Brother knitting machines, from pushbutton KH710 to punchcard KH890 to electronic KH970. It even fits bulky Brother knitting machines, like KH230, KH260 and KH270.…

Brother KL112 knit leader
Brother KL112 is a charting device to assist machine-knitters with creating shaped panels (like neck, shoulder and sleeve lines). It is very similar to its slightly earlier counterpart, KL111 knit leader. It comes with all the same assesories, like stitch measure scales inside a cylindrical container, stand-brackets, mylar sheet, etc. Thus, refer to the article…

Brother KL111 knit leader
Brother KL111 knit leader is a charting device to help machine knitters knit garments and complex shapes (like ovals, neck openings, and sleeves). I could not find a lot of information (even in the manual) about which exactly knitting machines Brother KL111 is compatible with. Judging by the pictures in the manual, it should fit…

Brother KL113 knit leader
If you do not own a knitting machine with a built-in knit leader, like Brother KH881, KH891, and KH893, and you knit (or would like to) a lot of sweaters and shaped panels, you probably need to consider a knit leader. Brother KL113 is one of the stand-alone models of charting devices, helping you to…

Brother KH801 knitting machine
Brother KH801 is a knitting machine very similar (if not identical with the exception of all writing being in Japanese) to the Brother KH800 available in the US used and vintage markets. All Japanese writing on the carriage, box and case of Brother KH801 makes me think that it was released to only Japanese markets.…
