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…

P-carriage for Singer/Silver Reed/Studio knitting machines
P-carriage typically comes with ribbers, standard-, fine- and bulky gauge. But it will work with the main knitting machine bed. P-carriage only moves/pushes the needles. It does not manipulate any stitches (so it does not knit). It assists the machine knitter in pushing the needles into various working positions, like from B to C, etc.,…

Silver AC-1 automatic yarn changer
It is manufactured and released to the market under the Silver brand (and I have not seen this model under any other brands) but because of the similarity of the machines, it should be compatible with knitting machines and robbers sold under the Studio, Silver Reed, Silver and Singer brands. I could not find a…

DeKnit carriage
DeKnit carriage unknits (unravels) stitches and rows of knitted fabric. I owe one and just tried it to unravel several rows of my tuck-stitch pattern. Simple stockinet stitches unraveled quickly but my tuck stitched had problems. The manual only mentions specifics for weaving and fair isle stitches. The DeKnit also comes in white. The photos…

D-slider
D slider is used with the bulky (9 mm) ribbers to create knitted panels using the drop-stitch technique. There is a similar carriage for Singer/Silver Reed/Studio knitting machines called P-carriage.
