The Orion 360 is a vintage double-bed domestic knitting machine marketed by Sears in the United States and distributed across Europe.[1]
Featuring a true double-bed construction with sinkers (rather than weights), the Orion 360 is widely used for knitting ribbing, textured fisherman's rib, and seamless tubes (ideal for socks).
