The Bond Elite is a variation of the standard Bond knitting frame. It features a slightly narrower needle pitch of 7.0 mm (compared to the standard 8.0 mm Bond pitch), allowing knitters to use lighter worsted, double-knitting (DK), and sport weight yarns more easily. It features a light grey color scheme.
Key Differences & Features[edit]
- 7.0 mm Pitch: The closer needle spacing accommodates lighter yarns than standard Bond models.
- 120 Needles: Comes standard with 120 needles on the bed, compared to the 100 needles on the standard Bond Classic/ISM/USM models.
- Keyplate Stitch Control: Uses specific keyplates matched to the 7.0 mm spacing to regulate stitch sizes.
