SK280 flat bed knitting machine
Brand-New Silver Reed SK280 Knitting Machine
Create beautiful, professional-quality knitwear from the comfort of home with the Silver Reed SK280—one of the most popular standard-gauge punch-card knitting machines available.
This is a brand-new machine, ideal for knitters who want to make fine, lightweight garments and detailed patterned fabrics. Its 4.5 mm needle spacing works especially well with fingering-weight yarn and can also accommodate suitable lace and lighter sport-weight yarns.
From elegant sweaters and delicate babywear to scarves, patterned fabrics, and home décor, the SK280 gives you the freedom to create far more—and much faster—than knitting by hand.
Why knitters love the SK280
The SK280 combines dependable manual operation with a versatile 24-stitch punch-card patterning system. Its smooth carriage and straightforward controls make it approachable for beginners while offering the creative range experienced machine knitters expect.
