Ribbers
Standard
Artisan 245
The Artisan 245 Standard Gauge Knitting Machine is a 4.5 mm standard
gauge knitting with a set of punch cards used on either the main knitting
machine bed and the ribber. This machine is very much like the SK-280
except the ribber is included in the price!

Single Motif, Punch Lace, Tuck, Slip, Knit Weaving, and Plating. There are 20
pre-punched cards with the machine.

The ribbing attachment comes with a complete set of weights and combs
along with a manual to help you make a large variety of ribbed fabrics
including ribbing, half-fisherman's rib, racked ribbing, double jacquard
(preferred for afghans) and many more textured fabrics. Tubular knitting is
possible with the ribber. You can make scarves, hats, socks, mittens and
much more.

A standard gauge knitting machine like the KH868 knits finer yarn like 4 and 3
ply fingering weight and sock yarn used by hand knitters. The knitting looks
somewhat like commercially produced knitting. You can knit stockinet stitch
and ribbed stitches when you include the ribber. However, this knitting
machine can also use a Punch Card to create knitting stitch patterns
automatically. Place a punch card in the machine and activate it. Now you can
automatically knit Thread lace, Tuck, Slip, Weaving, Fairisle and Single Motif
Isolation and more stitches. There is a basic KH868 Knittng Machine Pattern
card set included or you can make your own with an optional puncher and
blank cards. Punch cards for this machine are 24 stitch-wide pattern repeats.
Most 24-stitch punch cards available from other brands of knitting machines
and are interchangeable with this machine. The standard gauge machine is a
4.5 mm needle pitch knitting machine. This means there are 4.5 mm between
the needles. There are 200 eedles on the bed which will knit most sizes of
garments. This is a very versitile knitting machine. It accepts any brother
attachments for the KH868 knitting machine.

Mid-Gauge
Artisan 70D Plus
The Artisan 70D Plus Mid-Gauge knitting machine comes with built-in Intarsia for
block and picture knitting - you don't need a separate intarsia carriage! A great
beginners knitting machine designed to knit Double Knitting (DK), Sport Weight
and Light Weight Worsted yarn.

and ribbing as well as circular knitting like socks. The 70D Plus mid-gauge
knitting machine makes beautiful ribbing, fisherman's ribbing, as well as circular
knitting for socks, hats, mittens and more.

There are 147 needles on each bed. This is enough to make a finished size 60
using DK weight yarn. Both carriages knit, slip, tuck and have a Hold position for
maximum versatility. The ribber drops down so you can easily knit single bed
fabrics with the single bed sinker plate. In addition to slip, tuck and stockinette,
the main carriage also does plating. The Artisan 70D Plus mid-gauge knitting
machine  comes complete with all tools, weights, and cast-on combs (both single
and double bed) needed for just about any project!

The sturdy and attractive stand included with the machine has a convenient tray
for storing all tools and cast-on combs. The Artisan 70D mid gauge will accept
yarns from double knitting (DK) to sport weight to light-weight worsted, making it
perfect for hand knitting yarn! You can also easily use four ply fingering yarn
double stranded or by using the plating feeder! This is the next step up from a
plastic bed knitting machine.
