The Silver Reed LK-100 is a popular plastic-bed bulky gauge manual knitting machine manufactured by Silver Reed. It features 90 latch needles with a 9.0 mm pitch, designed for beginners and hobbyists working with bulky weight yarns.[1]
Features & Capabilities[edit]
- Plastic Needle Bed: Highly lightweight and portable due to its plastic bed construction.
- Manual Needle Selection: Lacks automated punchcard or electronic patterning. Stitch textures (tuck, slip, etc.) are executed using manual hand manipulation or double-sided selector combs (e.g. 1x1, 2x1).
- Needle Pitch: 9.0 mm pitch, optimal for thick technical yarns, worsted weights, and novelty yarns.
Compatible Accessories[edit]
- The LK-100 is a single-bed machine and does not support a double-bed ribbing attachment.
