  • YC1 color changer

    There is very little information on YC1 color changers despite them still circulating on the used market. YC1 color changer is identical to AC1 color changer and can be used with Silver Reed knitting machines with standard gauge (also branded as Singer, Studio, Riccar, Empisal Knitmaster, Silver Reed, and Silver). It is identical to AC1…

  • Knit Max Home Knitter knitting machine

    Knit Max Home Knitter knitting machine

    KnitMax Home knitter knitting machine is pretty unique and I have not seen any other model of any maker looking similarly. It looks like a basic/manual only knitting machine. But by looking at the carriage and comparing with later models, this machine might have some turn knob capabilities of needle selection on the carriage. Stay…

  • Knit-max Hand Knitter Double

    Knit-Max Double is a mystery machine that I recently became aware of. Besides being a double-bed, I can’t figure out much about it. It looks standard gauge and probably has just manual capabilities of patterning and stitch manipulation. Stay tuned!

  • Art Knitter Synchro Hi-matic DX-3000 knitting machine

    Wow, quite a name! Synchro Hi-matic!! So… Art Knitter DX-3000 is very likely a standard-gauge knitting machine with an 8-push-button mechanism. The only difference I see from the earlier model, DX-2000, is the markings on the pushbuttons. I agree that when the buttons are simply numbered as 1 through 8, it is hard to remember…

  • A.R.S. Amoretto MT-3 knitting machine

    A.R.S. Amoretto MT-3 knitting machine

    ARS Amoretti MT-3 machine is a vintage beauty. It is very likely a standard-gauge machine. It is similar to its younger sisters (ARS Amoretto MT-4, ARS Amoretto MT-5, and ARS Amoretto Super 8). The most similarities are with the ARS Amoretto MT-2 model. Refer to the corresponding posts, in which I described the features in…

  • ARS Knitter Type M

    ARS Knitter Type M

    Protruding features of the case of ARS Knitter Type M knitting machines give it a unique vintage look. This machine is very likely a standard-gauge machine and has manual/basic capabilities, with some patterning/needle-selection possible thanks to the clutch/change pole for needle selection (similar to ARS Knitter MT and ARS Knitter SM-15. Its later sisters, such…

  • ARS Knitter MT knitting machine

    Out of all ARS and Amoretto knitting machines, this has by far the most vintage look. This machine (together with the ASR Knitter type M) looks like a standard-gauge machine with only manual/basic capabilities. It does have a clutch/change pole for needle selection, also similar to ARS Knitter M and ARS Knitter SM-15. Its later…

  • A.R.S. Amoretto MT-2 knitting machine

    A.R.S. Amoretto MT-2 knitting machine

    ARS Amoretto MT-2 seems to be a standard-gauge knitting machine. I just finished a relatively detailed article on ARS Amoretto Super 8, with very similar features. Thus, refer to that post. There is a manual for ARS Amoretto/ARS knitter online. Refer to it for further details.
