Ta Dah!!! Here she is, working (at last!) with a new set of needles, our beautiful Harrison Circular Sock machine (CSM). She was probably made around 1910 and her proper name is a Harrison Sunnette. She would have provided a small income for the cottage industries that used to exist making socks for local sales. Many makes of CSM are still in use today. They require a lot of skill and patience as they work on setting up tensions and weights correctly before they will even knit a stitch. The quality of the engineering is a testament to the skills of a bygone eta. Work in progress for us to make socks using our own yarn.. hopefully I’ll be able to post a finished sock soon 🧦 #lincolnlongwool #rarebreedsheep #sockmaking #csm #heritagecrafts #campaignforwool
