Orion 220 Knitting Machine

Knitting Machine Museum Another interesting single bed knitting machine and I was lucky enough to be sent a few bits and pieces by an enthusiast, take a look at the link for further indepth information - I do have a double bed version of an orion but like most vintage double beds they knit rib but unlike the single bed vintage machines rarely offered anything unusual.

Orion Single and Double Bed

Knits plain very well - ie like hand knitting feel  - the bed is a stunning turquoise and the stove enamelled carriage has white handle with beige and maroon finishes.  I still have the original tool set but it does not have a tension wire - the waxed soft cardboard box is in rough condition but with name etc on it.  The double bed version is in turquoise and gold enamel this wonderful old machine has no instruction book.  It’s a simple double bed made with a 5 mm spacing .
