Review on 🌷 Tulip i-Cord Knitting Machine - by Heather Shaw

Works great - and fast. I have bought other brands and this is by far one of the best. No jamming, jamming or thread loss. Neither of these machines will work with shaggy or bulky yarns, but will easily handle smooth DK or lighter yarns. A tension weight comes in handy for this, but you have to constantly move it along the length of the i-cord. If you're making a long piece, this can be frustrating as the cord needs to spin freely. If not, you end up in a twisted mess. I crocheted a small thread net and attached it to the cargo. It helped, but everything flopped. My husband 3D printed a lightweight ring to attach to the mesh and keep it open at the top. He also made a simple case that is weighted and attached to the ring with more threads. Looks messy but it helps as it holds a lot of cord. I made a length of over 500 yards of mercerized cotton for a thick pillowcase. I was really impressed how it worked with the DK(4) cotton I used for coasters. The shorter length was ready in just a few minutes.
