How far have you gotten with your knitting machine? This model is a good place to start if you are a hand knitter and new to machine knitting. It should handle most yarns in the Worsted/Aran range up to bulky yarns, ie anything that knits on a 4mm up to a 7 or 8mm. If you ever get stuck and need assistance give me a shout. I own quite a few machines - an out of control hobby! - and I teach lessons on all makes/models. My blog is geared towards Superba knitting machines from France. Check it out some time. Peace!
