Our take on the Studio by Silver Reed Studio SK155 Bulky Gauge Knitting Machine

The Studio SK155 is a bulky-gauge punch-card knitting machine from Silver Reed with a 110-needle metal bed. It handles worsted and bulky weight yarns and uses punch cards for automatic 12-stitch pattern repeats, so it knits thick gauge garments far faster than hand knitting. Its best new price is $1,782.00 at Etsy as of November 4, 2026, with four stores listing it new.

Pros

Cons

  • Punch cards cap pattern width and require card handling
  • Large, heavy machine that needs a dedicated table
  • Few new listings, so prices stay high
  • Accessories and spare needles are scarce and costly

Questions and answers

Is the SK155 worth it over a standard-gauge machine?
Only if you mainly knit bulky and worsted yarns. A standard-gauge machine is cheaper and more versatile for fine yarns, but the SK155's 110 needles and bulky capability are hard to match.
What yarns does the SK155 take?
It is built for worsted and bulky weight yarns. Fine fingering and lace yarns will not knit well at this gauge.
How does punch-card patterning work?
You insert a punch card and the machine selects needles for a repeating pattern up to 12 stitches wide. Wider motifs need multiple passes or hand manipulation.
What comes in the box?
A typical SK155 set includes the machine, a punch card set, a row counter, weights and basic tools. Confirm the accessory list with the seller, since used and new-old-stock sets vary.
When is the SK155 cheapest?
New stock is limited to a few stores, so discounts are rare. Used machines in good condition are the usual way to pay less, but check for missing needles and rust.
