Yarn for Knitting Machines

Fine yarns that run evenly through the carriage – for sweaters, tops, and shawls made on the knitting machine. You can also use many of them doubled or combine them with a second strand.

Which yarn works on a knitting machine?

Fine yarns are ideal for most home knitting machines with a standard needle bed. As a rule of thumb: the more meters per 100 g, the more smoothly the yarn runs through the carriage. In this collection, you’ll mostly find yarns with 600 to 1,000 m per 100 g – with alpaca, mohair, wool, and viscose – plus a few medium-weight yarns for denser pieces.

Single or double strand

You can use very fine yarns on their own for light, almost sheer fabric, or knit two strands together for a denser look. Pairing them with a second yarn in a different color is also popular on the machine.

Tips for getting started

Knit a gauge swatch before every project and set the tension to suit the yarn. Mohair and fluffy yarns run best with slightly looser tension. You’ll find more fine yarns in our Mohair Wool collection.

Frequently asked questions

What yardage do I need for a knitting machine?

For machines with a standard needle bed, fine yarns from about 400 m per 100 g usually work best. The exact recommendation depends on your machine – you’ll find the yardage listed with each yarn.

Can I use mohair on a knitting machine?

Yes, with slightly looser tension. It’s best to knit a gauge swatch first to find the right setting.

Can I also knit these yarns by hand?

Yes, all of the yarns are also suitable for hand knitting and crochet. The recommended needle size is listed with each yarn.

How do I wash machine-knitted pieces?

Hand wash at up to 30 °C with a mild wool detergent, do not rub or wring, dry flat. You’ll find the exact care instructions listed with each yarn.
