Hi. I just got one of these machines today! It's seized atm but I'm hoping that I'll be able to get it working. It's got all of the Jack's and most of the needles. Can you advise where would be a good place to source needles and a manual please?
Does it have transfer cams like the Hamanaka Knitting Machine that can automatically transfer the stitches back & forth between beds, or do you have to do it manually every row? Hamanaka is great, I just wish it were a full bed of needles, not just 50.
hi I have a prior purl knitter but not to sure how it works do you have more videos on the prior purl knitter because I would love to learn how to use it properly and do you know where I can get more needles thankyou
Hi Nicole, Does the prior have a sponge bar? And do you know where to buy replacement needles from? Also are you going to do anymore videos for the prior? Thanks
The Prior Purl doesn't have a sponge bar. Mine had some degraded sponge on the carriage underside which I replaced, but doesn't seem necessary to function. I do not know where to get needles. There are still commercial double ended needles available, finding the right ones might be tricky though, and the jacks would be nigh impossible to replace.
You can knit two colour patterns, but not simultaneously. There is a very awkward arrangement of a nylon panel that slots in the underside of the carriage that is the yarn carrier. It has to be changed over every row or two to do any kind of colour work or stripes. This machine is best for single colour work.
I have just won a prior purl bid on EBay. Would you please show how to cast on? I am so excited about it.
Have you knitted anymore on this machine thankyou

It doesn't have a cam to do the transfer, it's all completely manual. Only knits 2 and 3 ply yarn, won't even knit sock yarn!

You can no longer buy new needles.
Only way to source is to buy another machine.
The Manual is quite good. I believe it is available online.

Is there any information on these knitting machines and can you knit with two colours together and can you get needles plus patterns thankyou
