Where can I find a circular sock knitting machine?

To answer some frequently asked questions:

 

Do you have circular sock machines for sale?

No, we do not currently have any machines for sale.

 

Where can I find used circular sock knitting machines?

I know of three options:

  • Attend auctions and estate sales, haunt antique shops, browse on e-Bay.

  • There is an e-mail sock list that you can subscribe to, and occasionally folks on the list will mention if they have a machine for sale.  Click here to get subscription info.

  • There is also another option, a new website that lists CSMs that folks are willing to sell.  Click here to go to sockmachines.com to see what may be listed there. 

 

How much do CSMs cost?

It varies greatly, and is always a "buyer beware" sort of thing, because some machines just are not repairable.  A good rule of thumb is to not pay more than you are willing to lose if the machine can not be fixed and you end up with a fancy "doorstop" or "boat anchor."

 

Are there parts available for circular knitting machines?

To some degree, yes; to some degree, no.  If you can find another machine of the same make, you may be able to salvage parts.  There are some sources for new needles, again, for certain makes and models.  Sometimes you can find a machinist who will fabricate a part for you, if you are willing to pay for it.  I will list more info on available parts as I have time.  Until then, try visiting some of the sites on our csm links page, to see what you can find.
