Silver Reed SK840 computerized knitting machine

Silver Reed SK840 computerized knitting machine

If you plan to knit a wide variety of items and use many different patterns, the best choice is the computerized knitting machine Silver Reed SK840. This machine transfers the entire pattern creation process to a computer, where virtual punch cards are created using special software and sent to the knitting machine via a cable.

Silver Reed SK840 is a computerized 5th class knitting machine, which is optimal for knitting thin and medium-weight items. The metal body and metal needle bed ensure durability and long-lasting performance.

The Silver Reed SK840 knitting machine has the ability to adjust knitting density. Using a special dial located on the carriage, you can select the desired stitch density — from loose knitting that lets the breeze through, to very tight, windproof fabric.

Patterns are programmed by purchasing the additional DesignaKnit9 software and the SilverLink5 connection cable. Without this software, the machine’s capabilities cannot be fully utilized — in that case, it can only knit in stockinette stitch.

You will also need a personal computer, which will be used continuously during the knitting process.

We additionally recommend purchasing the DesignaKnit9 software along with the connection cable and control unit Silver Link 5.

We additionally recommend purchasing a yarn winder. This is an essential accessory for any knitting machine if you plan to use yarns intended for hand knitting. Such yarns must be rewound using this device; otherwise, the knitted fabric may turn out poor in quality due to uneven yarn tension. If you need to unravel an already knitted item, the winder will again assist you in quickly undoing the work and evenly winding the yarn.

We additionally recommend purchasing at least 2 medium weights, 18 cm wide, as the set includes only two small weights that hang on the edges and are insufficient for proper knitting.

We additionally recommend purchasing a foldable, convenient table for the knitting machine. The lower table height is specially designed for comfortable knitting.
Table dimensions: length 130 cm × width 38 cm × height 69 cm.

We additionally recommend purchasing the optional second needle bed SRP60N. With this accessory, you will be able to knit purl stitches, work in circular knitting, create tuck stitch patterns, and explore many other types of designs.

We additionally recommend purchasing the lace carriage LC580. With this accessory, you will be able to knit lace patterns. When buying the lace carriage, you also need to purchase the activation code for the “LACE” module in your DesignaKnit8 software, if you do not already have it.

We additionally recommend purchasing the intarsia carriage AG24. With this accessory, you will be able to knit multiple colors in a single row.

We additionally recommend purchasing the YC6 yarn changer. This accessory automatically switches between two colors during knitting and allows you to thread up to four colors at once.

We additionally recommend purchasing the RJ1 jacquard carriage (used only with the second needle bed SRP60N). With this accessory, you will be able to knit double-sided jacquard without floats.

When purchasing a knitting machine, we recommend also getting an individual knitting lesson at a discounted rate. Price for one session – €48.
Description of the individual lesson is available on this page.
