LT-150
The LT-150 is equipped with our exclusive 2-feed (dual feed) cam system allowing you to knit unique structures that cannot be duplicated on any other CSM. The dual feed cam system engaged while ribbing creates a unique knitted structure that mimics “brioche” knitting on the inside of the ribbed cuff.
The LT-150 is a robust machine featuring a cast iron frame and mild steel nickel plated knitting components.
The LT-150 dual-feed machine comes with the following:
- Nickel Plated Cylinder and cone-shaped Ribber (of your choice)
- Stand with Yarn Shelf and Yarn Mast Assembly
- Assembly tools - complete set of short arm key wrenches and a Long T-wrench
- Yarn pick
- One set of Take-Down weights and Two Heel Weights
- One heel fork (V-hook)
- Set-up bonnet knit on your machine
- Operating and Assembly Manual
- One day of training at our factory
The LT150 2-feed machine is priced at approximately $4,200.00.
LT-150 TRADITIONAL
The LT-150-Traditional is a Single-Feed version of the LT-150, and is a more traditional representation of the antique TUTTLE. This machine is manufactured with the same quality materials as the dual feed machine. As a matter of fact, the cast iron base, cylinders and ribber cones are exactly the same.
The LT-150 Traditional machine comes with the following:
- Nickel Plated Cylinder and cone-shaped Ribber (of your choice)
- Stand with Yarn Shelf and Yarn Mast Assembly
- Assembly tools - complete set of short arm key wrenches and a Long T-wrench
- Yarn pick
- One Set of Take-Down weights and Two Heel Weights
- One heel fork (V-hook)
- Set-up bonnet knit on your machine
- Operating and Assembly Manual
- One day of training at our factory
The LT150-Traditional is priced at approximately $3,700.00.

This little darling is perfect for using up scrap yarn. These little socks make perfect gifts and ornaments.
