Silver Reed SK-6 knitting machine

Silver Reed SK6 knitting machine is a true vintage machine since it was manufactured before 1960s (approximately in the mid-1950s). It is a standard-gauge knitting machine with 200 needles, 4.5 mm apart.

Everything screams vintage on this machine: lettering on the carriage and the case, tension knobs, the look of the carriage, clip-on row counter (not shown on the pictures below).

There is a manual for this machine available online for free. Silver SK6 can also be accessorized with a ribber.

However, this “second ribber” is simply a second Siler SK6 added to the first one. Pretty cool setup!
