Our take on the Electric i-Cord Knitting Tricotin Machine i1

The i1 is a plug-in automatic i-cord machine that knits yarn into even cords without hand cranking. It works with fine to medium yarns, roughly 1.3 mm to 2.5 mm, and is built from ABS and POM plastic with metal parts. It suits crafters who make bag handles, trims, name cords and décor and want to skip the repetitive hand motion of manual tricotins. Against hand-cranked French knitters it trades portability for steadier tension and less strain, but it needs a USB power source and only handles lighter yarn weights.

About the Electric i-Cord Knitting Tricotin Machine i1

The Electric i-Cord Knitting Tricotin Machine i1 automatically knits yarn into i-cords, so no manual cranking is needed. It takes over the repetitive hand motion of making i-cords.

Included weights help keep yarn tension steady, which supports compact, uniform cords. The body is built from ABS and POM. Cords can be used for bag handles, name crafts, trims and DIY home décor.

It works with yarn from 1.3mm to 2.5mm in diameter, including Sport, Baby, DK, Light Worsted, Worsted and Aran. Yarn with a smooth surface and even thickness gives the cleanest cord. A user manual, step-by-step video tutorials and troubleshooting guidance are included.

Questions and answers

What yarns can the i1 use?
It takes yarn from about 1.3 mm to 2.5 mm in diameter, which covers #2 Fine, #3 Light and #4 Medium weights. Bulky and novelty yarns are outside its range.
Does it need batteries?
No. It runs on USB power, so it stays plugged in while it works. That keeps speed steady but means no cordless use.
What is in the box?
The machine, 16 acrylic yarns, two aluminum shaping wires, a plastic crochet hook, four replacement needles and two counterweight blocks.
How does it compare with a manual French knitter?
A manual tricotin costs less and needs no power, but you crank every stitch by hand. The i1 automates the looping for steadier tension and less strain.
What can I make with it?
Bag handles, trims, name cords, jewelry cords and small décor pieces. The included wire lets you shape cords into curves.
Is it hard to set up?
It comes with a detailed tutorial. Thread the yarn, add the counterweight and let the motor pull the cord through.
