Is it true that the LK-150 is out of production? Could a dealer comment on this, please?

Hi Diana, I just checked the manufacturers website and they are still making/selling them. Haven't heard anything otherwise.

After watching your video I am happy to tell you you gave me the remaining 50% and encouraged me and I just palced my order for the same machine, Thank you so much and will start with your learning videos as they are very clear instructions and simple not complicated.

Interesting, looks to be identical to the Silver Reed LW-1 weaving attachment, made for the LK-150 back in the day. If this is just a remake, I’d be very interested if Kris could remake the FC-6 Fairisle carriage for the LK-150, which was available in the days of yore too.

@dianaknits 3 года назад

Send Kris an email. Her website is kriskrafter.com, and there's contact information. I know she studies various items we can't get anymore and makes an assessment as to whether they would be practical to manufacture. Her stuff is made in America. She actually uses two different companies to make the garter bars because she wanted a very good polish on them. Mine never nicks me!

@carmelgahan3605 3 года назад

@TheCointreaux 3 года назад

I thought the LK-150 was the only machine that you could still find brand new. I hope they haven't ceased production! How I wish we had a time machine that could take us back to the '80s and '90s when machine knitting was more popular and the machine variety was more widespread, although most were too expensive for me to have ever afforded. Those were the days!

@dianaknits 3 года назад

I think there are still some models out of China (Artisan, Creative). I am lucky enough to have an assortment of Brothers and others and I intend to keep everything running beautifully. At least the ones I have are extremely well-built.

@NoBootyBeauty 3 года назад

Great question, I too would like to know if the woven fabric lays flat 👍

Woven fabric is much, much flatter than plain stockinette knitting. However, it's not totally flat and any bits that don't have weaving on them roll as usual.

@carriejansen7935 3 года назад

Thank you Ms Diana for putting out so many videos to help all of us that are new to machine knitting. I have a question for you I don't know if you get to read all your comments or not I started machine knitting on the ultimate sweater machine and I wound up my game so I went online and I purchased a used juki knitting machine with a brother Riber bed. I know how to use the river bed but I have no idea how to use the juki knitting machine because it's not an English and I can't find any videos on how to get started with this machine can you help me??

@dianaknits 3 года назад

First of all, the Juki may not work with the Brother ribber. Probably won't. Anyway, Juki machines are not so different from Brother machines in that you can work it out by fiddling with the push buttons to see which ones are slip, which are tuck, etc. There were several Juki models, and I've only owned one, so I can't give detailed instructions. However, you can find some Juki knitting manuals in English here machineknittingetc.com/other-km/juki.html

@dianaknits 5 месяцев назад

This one doe athe weaving shown in the video. The intarsia carriage does something entirely different - it lets you put blocks or shapes of color across the knitting/ The colors are regular stockinette stitches. One the front, you can create a picture.

Can you cotton on the lk150 like you do when weaving on a loom 8/4 cotton

@dianaknits Год назад

Knitting machines like yarn with a little stretch, but yes, you certainly can use cotton on the LK-150. It'll need to be the right thickness and smoothness.

@tadi-f5o 5 месяцев назад

does weaving change the gauge of the knitting?

@dianaknits 5 месяцев назад

@323352 3 года назад

Hello I find that the woven yarn slackens when you unhook the knitting while it is tight while it is on the machine. How do you do ? If two different threads are used, the tension must be increased or decreased each time. Thank you for your advice. Regards

@dianaknits 3 года назад

Sometimes I run into this problem, too. How much this slackening happens depends on the yarn for the knitting and the yarn for the weaving. Some weaving yarn is springier and behaves better. Sometimes the knitting yarn is too thin or too tight and draws up too much, leaving the weaving yarn slack. You can add a little tension by how you hold the weaving yarn. Play with the tension dial and your yarns and I think you can get a good result. I never can know how the yarns will behave until I actually swatch.

But don't waste your money on a machine that you can't watch knit or that only knits with difficulty.

I think too many beginning knitters make the mistake of buying the Bond machine because it's so cheap, and that's why they lose interest in machine knitting. I almost did. It's NOT a good machine for a beginner.

@dianaknits 3 года назад

The Bond used to run much better. If you compare an old, old one to the new ones, you'll find rough edges, less accessories, quite a few issues with the new one. I've been told that it helps to use an emery board on every rough edge and lube well. However, why on earth would a beginner know to do that? And new Bonds are jammy, and after about three jams I'm wanting to throw something.
