5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic machine!! Great value and great results!!

D. · 13 January 2022

I bought this for my wife with some trepidation.Opinion seems to be split to quite a degree on how good or bad this machine is.I needn't have worried.I will first say though, that the included visual instructions could be better.But a visit to YouTube proved invaluable and very quickly my wife was knitting away with it.No dropped stitches apart from right at the start of a project - but we are warned about that and simply coaxing the yarn back where it should go with a probe worked well.Once a couple of rows were carefully done then it was time to speed up a bit.No dropped stitches and very satisfying to watch!The tensioner works well. I see some take that off and tension by hand but we had no problems adjusting the tension by looping the yarn through the tensioner as instructed, depending on the type of yarn being used.Not too noisy either and the handle is easy to turn whilst holding on to the main handle for stability.Hats are produced in only a few minutes - amazing machine.I did look at the very expensive Addi, but couldn't justify the price at the time.I'm sure the Addi is a great machine and has a counter of course, but this Prym machine is a great introduction to this form of knitting and, if needed, an electronic counter can be retro fitted by someone with some practical skills. Such counters are widely available and cost around £15 to buy. A YouTube search for this will show what I mean.Anyway we are really pleased with the Prym.A great value machine which is a joy to use and produces very satisfying results.Thoroughly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just add wool and stir

E. · 30 January 2014

I bought this machine for hats and scarves .It comes with a handle and legs that you fit into the machine very simply.The crank handle is already connected.There is a soft plastic needle in the packet that you might not notice as it is taped to a cellophane bag.The needle is very useful because it is for casting off and being soft, it doesn't dig into the plastic of the machine and flexes just enough to scoop up the stitch. It has a large eye too which makes it handy for sewing up your finished work.I have my needle taped to the side of the machine with a bit of electrical tape so that it cannot get lost so easily.As soon as my machine arrived, I cast on and knit a complete hat and scarf for the Christmas present pile in one afternoon including a couple of false starts. before the (adult) recipient was around to see them....This can make hats for an adult and I think they would also fit children and could be adjusted for size by choosing thicker or thinner wool or doubling up the hat (knit tube 2 X hat length,gather ends,poke one into other and turn up a cuff).There are so many videos about using this type of machine on youtube that it is easy to find information before actually committing to buying. Look for the innovations machine videos which are exactly the same machine as the Prym maxi (although I dont think the same manufacturer but who knows?).Also the larger Addi express machine videos are quite useful for technique except the Addi has 2 needles more and a row counter.Casting on is very easy and if you find your wool is too thin, you can just use it double or treble.I have tried my machine with doubled up 'double knitting' ,single chunky, pure cotton and aran wools.There is a bit of a learning curve,mostly it is around where to be looking to notice if a stitch is going to drop and once you understand how a stitch forms, it becomes much easier.You can knit flat pieces on this machine too.There is a switch on the side which you slide to give either circular or flat knitting.Really the flat knitting setting only stops the work before it can rotate fully and you must crank the handle the opposite way.For circular knitting ,you crank whichever way is most comfortable and stop when you like.You need to be able to hold this machine still while you crank because it is quite light and stands on a table without any kind of fixing. I think if you needed to manage it one handed,you would need to have someone fix it to a surface for you possibly by drilling a little hole through each leg and adding some sort of ties or a bracket or clamp. Im sure it could be done with a bit of thinking it out.Using weights with this machine would improve the experience because every now and then a stitch will come off due to bunching up of the work .A latch tool would really help too to pick up any dropped stitches as you see them .Some people have their machines set up on a work mate type bench so that the knitting can dangle down through the hole.Some have a table they have customised with a hole cut.I dont do either of these and it still works well and means it is portable.The machine itself is 16 inches wide including the handle and about 13 inches tall so you could take it along with you if you are going visiting for example providing you can carry the wool and the knitted work. It would be awkward in a bag on the bus but not impossible and would be easy to put in the car to transport although I think you would be a bit cramped trying to use it actually IN the car. .You cannot really watch TV while using this machine! You need to be watching the stitches form.

1.0 out of 5 stars Faulty & a waste of money

A.C. · 3 March 2020

I bought this as I'm physically disabled, & can no longer loom knot by hand. Unfortunately it is not fit for purpose.It knits okay with single strand thin wool, but this leaves the hats with gaps in & they're not warming at all.If you use thicker wool or double up, the machine repeatedly drops stitches & the wool gets caught in the hooks, ruining the whole project. Many a time we've had to cut wool free after it jammed & was unable to be removed any other way.If it worked as it should it'd be a great product...but as it is, it's not worth the money!

4.0 out of 5 stars Ok for one size hats (and other bits)

s.p. · 18 January 2022

It takes a little bit of getting used to, and keeping an eye on, but it turns out some useful hats - albeit one size! Longer pieces can be made into scarves I'm told, and flat panels can be made too - they will take some mastering for me though I can tell you. Tried twice, gave up for now.I bought this machine to use up my (extensive) unused stash of yarn and I'm making hats for the homeless out of it all. I'm not making anything for profit from it, so cost wise it's not necessarily value for money for me BUT if it uses up my stash (and gives me room for more 😉) and gives something to those less fortunate than myself then it's invaluable! Who knows, one day I might make something nice for myself with it. It whips up a hat in 30-40 minutes and even my other half has made a couple. It's a good workout on the arm... though only the one arm - unless you swap off course. Not the most expensive machine out there, but not the cheesiest either. It does what it's made to do - and if you master it I'm sure it can do a bit more too.

K.N. · 22 May 2024

Das macht total viel Spaß, bis jetzt. Hab einen Bommel drauf gemacht und sieht schön aus.Ab und zu fasst es den Faden nicht. Aber ich denke, dass ich da nicht richtig geschaut habe.Ist nicht ganz perfekt geworden, aber ich bin zufrieden. :-)

Voldoet aan de beschrijving.
