Golden Fleece Sock Machine
Golden Fleece is a circular sock knitting machine dating from around the 1950’s this machine came to me in terrible condition but with a lot of patience and tlc, I managed to get it working.. The instruction book is a bit tatty but like most of these machines probably bought on a knit socks or else basis, it was well used. The sock machines do rib in the round and that's one thing no flat bed machine can do. Just love it..
