Q:I’m not crafty and not interested in learning to hand knit. Im an adult but beginner. No craft knowledge. I want to make socks for my family. so what knitting machine is best for adult socks?
A:Any adults knitting machine will knit the fabric for socks. The small machines for children would not have sufficient needles. To knit circular socks without a seam you would need a knitting machine with a ribber or a double bed machine. Buying a knitting machine just for socks would make the socks very expensive indeed.
Not really a reasonable idea – you’d need a circular knitting machine, possibly different sizes for different size yarns or socks. Good antique ones cost a few hundred dollars, if you can find them. Few new ones are being made, and antique ones are hard to find and of course, refurbish and keep running (and also in demand by collectors). It takes about an hour to make a sock on an antique sock machine: Zhenlihua circular knitting machine factory is situated in Xinglin Industrial Zone, Jimei District of Xiamen, which is the first industrial park approved by the State of Council for Taiwanese businessmen doing business in mainland. In the industrial park, there are a large number of Taiwanese enterprises with advanced machine-building industrial technology and strong technical forces in processing techniques, among which, Zhenlihua knitting machine machine is the remarkable one.
