An Introduction To The Silver Reed FC6 Fair Isle Carriage - For LK140 & LK150 Knitting Machines

[@sweetgeorgia]

My gosh! I just watched your video and it was just amazing you see you manually select your pattern and have it knit up. Amazing! I also appreciate seeing you explain the underside of the carriage and how the needles travel through the carriage. Thanks for making this video, Alex!

[@Thesweaterfactory]

It is so much fun once you get into it, especially small repeats, up to 24 stitches wide. I thought the explanation would be interesting for some, on how it knits the two colours. Thanks for watching! I follow your channel too! 😊😘

[@annecain3301]

Always a pleasure to watch and learn from you. Thank you for another detailed video.

Olá! Sou do Brasil! Aqqui no meu país é difícil encontrar esses tipos de acessórios ou mesmo carrro principal, mas amei esse carro e como fica fácil fazer o Jacard ou fair isle!!!! Maravilha!!! 😍

[@AnnaHaferman]

Great video! I recently got a SK 2300 and haven't played around with it too much yet.

[@Thesweaterfactory]

Hope you enjoy it! Let me know how you go! 😊

[@dianemakes]

Fun and inspiring video! Thank you from Canada.

[@Thesweaterfactory]

You’re very welcome.

Such a shame this carriage is no longer produced. I have no idea why they stopped it. Thank you for your clear explanation.

[@Thesweaterfactory]

I know! What a shame! It was such a good accessory. I have already made a sweater with mine, it is so much fun to use and really increases your possibilities with the LK140/150 machine.

[@Jennylou6833]

I'm a beginner machine knitter and I wondering, I saw a carriage on Amazon called Intarsia carriage AG11 made by silver reed for this machine ( I just buy this model to start ) is this the same ? If not, can you explain the difference ? Thanks !

[@SKATricot]

​@@Jennylou6833 Non ce n'est pas la meme chose. Le chariot Ag 11 c'est pour faire de l'intarsia.

Thank you for another amazing video. 🌻

You are so welcome! ❤

[@lizzieburgess674]

Oh wow! Finding one of these is like finding hen's teeth! Have you had it from new? This is a really good and detailed video, thanks.

[@Thesweaterfactory]

Thank you, I go into too much detail! Haha. I haven’t had it from new, no, I bought it off eBay last year for a ludicrous price! Haha. Such fun though, if you are lucky enough to find one, it makes Fair Isle so easy and lots of fun on the 150!

[@cindylong8931]

Thank you. I would have liked seeing the chart as you pulled out the stitches to correspond.

[@Thesweaterfactory]

I am sorry, I didn’t want to extend the length of the video, longer than was necessary.

[@evelinek.5903]

Das ist sehr gut aufgeklärt.😍❣❣💋

[@VVmach]

Thanks for tis great viseo Where can i get the pattern?

[@TheBeautyJournals]

Hi. How does this carriage differ to the intarsia carriage that is still being made?

[@user-yo1ey2gh5h]

Thank you!!!

[@Thesweaterfactory]

You’re welcome.

[@qtmama71]

I have been researching for the best, easiest way to fair isle machine knit. You made this look so easy. Your video was easy to understand. Here's the thing... what would be a compatible machine and carriage that would also be easy to find nowadays?

[@Thesweaterfactory]

You can knit Fair Isle very easily on other machines, which knit pattern stitches automatically, Silver Reed make machine like this. Brother and Toyota also made machines like that.

[@soraiaprst4784]

Obrigada!

[@Thesweaterfactory]

You’re welcome. ❤

[@yukarihirai56]

Where can I buy it?

[@Thesweaterfactory]

It is no longer available, new, one would have to check eBay or other second hand sites.

[@andrewopala5552]

@@Thesweaterfactory could you take a picture of the underside of the carriage, I want to build one and it would be helpful to create one from the picture

[@Thesweaterfactory]

@@andrewopala5552 I can do, I will post it on my feed on here as a post.

[@sylvie040]

what is that machine who is connected to the row-counter ????

[@Thesweaterfactory]

It is the electronic KR11 Knit Contour. It’s a charting device.

[@jedansepourvous]

Dommage, impossible de l'acheter en France, il est introuvable !

[@Thesweaterfactory]

Keep looking. Well worth owning. Fantastic accessory.

[@happychick5052]

Was that the sk2300 same as?

[@Thesweaterfactory]

Yes, the SK2300 is actually a machine model, that was sold in Japan. It was an LK150 with an FC6 carriage as standard. FC6 is the name of the carriage itself but some are branded SK2300 as they were denoting the model of the machine on the carriage, that it went to. Bit like the LK150 carriage having LK150 printed on it.

Wo kann ich diese Schlitten kaufen?

[@Thesweaterfactory]

It is no longer available, one would have to check second hand sites, such as eBay.
