Prym Small Knitting Mill, Purple

So much fun to use. Very satisfying to see the cord "magically" appear. User tip and no fault of the device or manufacturer, make sure the cord can dangle freely as it twists while being created. If you don't, it ends up a mess and you don't get quite as smooth of a cord as you would like. Also the yarn they recommend is the yarn you should use. Heavier and it won't "auto" pull through.

This product is total garbage. The latches on the hooks don’t open/close properly, somehow resulting both missed stitches and knots simultaneously. The internal gears were skipping and misaligned even with no yarn on the device. The crank shaft is cheap plastic, so forcing past a knot resulted in the crank shaft snapping. Flimsier than a single strand of yarn. Terrible design, non functional, an complete waste of time and money.

There is a learning curve for sure. You have to be very careful in the beginning to make sure your cord stays on the machine the correct way however once you figure it out it is a fast process. I'm using regular acrylic red heart yarn and having a blast making tie cords for my knit sweatpants.You do have to pull down sometimes on the cord to ensure the loops pull down enough to proceed with the knit process. The weight could be better, I've seen ones that you clip to the cord so you can control the tension better .Overall a decent product for the price, patience is key though.

It would only take thin yarn and was hard to feed, crank, and hold.

Easy to use. This handy machine adds a bit of whimsy to all your projects

The feel of the product is great and I was excited to use it. It came in today and I tried using it. The hooks don't move with the yarn smoothly. It latches onto the tiniest but of fiber. I tried 3 different types of yarn, all within the recommended yarn weight, and none of them worked. They all jammed up on the hooks. The cleat plastic piece prevented me from being able to fix the jam. I did get it to work for about 1/2 and inch but that was it. This is definitely going back.

I watched tons of YouTube videos and TikTok... But nothing worked. I tried thinner yarns, thicker yarns, placing them on different hooks at the start, and even turning it as slowly as possible. Nothing worked. I do notice some of the bottom hook pieces weren't fully coming up when they were supposed to. I'm not sure if it was a malfunction with the one I got or if it was just a user error that I couldn't seem to fix with any attempts. I did return it and I was sent my money back with no troubles so at least I wasn't stuck with a product that I would've ended up throwing against the wall if I would've kept it any longer.

Trash, it is just Trash, it is currently in my Trash can after fighting with it for over and hour. I tried 4 different types of yarns, watched video tutorials, read direction, etc. And after becoming so frustrated with it, I stopped myself from throwing it across the room and threw it in the trash can. DO NOT BUY
