Easy to set up and put together.
First purchase of a knitting machine so complete novice but can hand knit well .Ordered online delivered next day by Hobbycraft amazing service and 15% off so I'm very pleased. Have knit my first piece on the machine, very easy to set up as I had watched youtube clips so manufacturer's instructions then made more sense. Looking forward to producing professional looking garments. Like the idea of starting the garment by hand attaching to machine and doing the majority of work much more quickly on the machine. I have nothing to compare this machine with others I've used as it's my first but so far so good.

Silver Reed LK150 Knitting Machine
Since purchasing this item I have set it up and knitted several garments. I am very pleased with the overall performance of the machine - although a plastic bed with steel needles it is sturdy and smooth.
However, the one fault I found is that the yarn mast is not robust and does not fit well in the back of the machine. I have overcome the wobble with pressing the yarn mast onto a piece of blutac.

Frustrated
Sadly i cant positively review this product. I purchased it online to pick up in store. Unfortunately only half of the product was in the box. Spoke to someone in store who advised returning back to store as another package looked like it might have my parts in. Although i found this frustrating I did the following day. Only to find parts were missing from that pack too. I want to emphasise that all the staff that I had contact with went over & beyond to help rectify my predicament. I chose to take a refund as i had no confidence in ever getting actual complete product. Also when I ordered online it shouldve discounted 10% voucher at checkout which it didnt do.

Silver Reed LK150 Knitting Machine
Lovely machine although I feel it is over priced for the quality of goods. Easy to use and light weight if your on the move. Also reasonably compact if space is an issue.

great machine
So easy to use. Produces high quality knitting very quickly. Varied range of yarns can be used.
Great shame that the LK150 accessories are no longer available, though the lack of these do not affect the knitting machines ability to make lovely pieces.
I recommend this product.

I bought my first Knitting machine in1965. that was a knitmaster which was the for runner of silver reed. they are good solid machines with little to go wrong. The instructions how to use it , is written easy to understand . This machine is a basic model and fine for the learner or advanced user

Very impressed
I love my new toy! I am very impressed with the versatility of this little machine. I was worried about it being flimsy and noisey but was pleasantly surprised. Quiet and sturdy. Highly recommend it.
