The Brother KRC-1100M is a 6-color double-bed color changer accessory designed for standard and bulky gauge Brother knitting machines.[1]

Unlike the electronic Brother KRC-1000E, which is designed to integrate with the Brother KH-970 console for fully programmed 6-color automatic changes, the KRC-1100M operates purely mechanically. It allows for automatic color changing of 2 colors (meaning it can shuttle between two colors automatically as you knit) while holding up to 6 colors in total on its tension mast.

Key Features[edit]

  • 6-Color Capacity: Holds up to six yarn colors simultaneously, allowing for convenient access to multiple yarns without manual rethreading.
  • Automatic 2-Color Alternating: Switches automatically between two pre-selected yarn positions with every pass of the carriage.
  • Dual Gauge Compatibility: Can be used with both standard gauge (4.5mm) and bulky gauge (9.0mm) machines by adjusting the settings on the underside of the unit.
  • Purely Mechanical: Does not require electronic connections or console programming, making it highly compatible across all standard and bulky punchcard or electronic machines.
