The impressive Chambord CSM - Tricoteuses Circulaires has done it again! Check out this hybrid upgrade and refurbish they did!
This very vintage circular sock machine (known by its name “Cooperative”) was built in its time, without upthrow cams (instead featuring a slope in the cam shell which sometimes meant needles would drop down at the wrong time, creating dropped stitches). Unhappy face.
Issues now solved with a creative addition which included two teardrop configured upthrow cams! Happy face!!
This exciting masterpiece of a circular sock machine is going to be hand delivered to its new csmer in under two weeks (March 13/23) with a hands on demo! In addition to all that, this YouTube Cooperative machine video was built to help familiarize users with the parts and more.
Video featuring a machine intro and learning starting with identifying/assembling all machine parts, cylinder marking, casting on and setting the ZERO POINT on the tension dial. Walk before you run. You’ve got this.
Persons starting new in this craft should expect to spend time trying different techniques prior to going right to making socks. Let’s not forget also that these machines can be used to make much more than just socks.
My free CSM Love (circular sock machine) website is designed to help all with that!
See the CSM START LEARNING menu for csmlove.com/csm-startcsm1
Get yourself a manual, machine oil and at least 50-100 extra needles - for reference and check out some useful supplies see the SUPPLIES menu both for where to get and other useful things I recommend csmlove.com/supplies-i-like
You’re first project should be finding a stitch size you like and creating a cylinder specific cast on bonnet.
Review the sequential pages there then check out the techniques page under the menu MY PATTERNS AND VIDEOS
Find other east topic on the site-wide lookup on the index page found under the menu MISC CSM csmlove.com/index
