Knit professional ribs with the SR-860.  This easy-to- attach, simple-to-use accessory knits all types of rib stitches. Choose 1x1, 2x1, 2x2 ribs or wider ribs such as 5x5, tubular/circular (seamless stockings or pillows), Shaker Stitch, English Rib, or even Fisherman’s rib.  Use your ribber to knit firm welts on all your garments, or choose a textured stitch for an all-over pattern.  Knit slip rib, drive rib, punch tuck rib and pin tuck rib — automatically — using the punch cards supplied free with the SR-860 ribber.


Ribber

Suitable for use with Silver Reed SK-860 and SK-160 knitting machines. Converts your machine into a 300 needle double bed machine.

Even though the SR-860 ribber will fit both mid-gauge machines, it can only be attached to the SK-860, not to the SK-160, because the SK-160 ribber carriage adapter is no longer made.

 

There is no longer an available ribber for the bulky-gauge machine.
