9.0studiosponge
This sponge bar fits the following Bulky knitting machines: SK150, SK155, SR155 bulky ribber, SK860 Mid-gauge
This Sponge Bar (also known as a needle retainer bar) fits Silver Reed, Singer, Studio 9.0 mm bulky gauge knitting machines as well as the SK-860 mid-gauge knitting machine.
This
sponge bar (or needle retainer bar) is manufactured by Silver Reed. The sponge bar is made from improved sponge and pushes down firmly on the needles and prevents them from jumping up and causing snags and damaged yarn. They will last longer and your knitting will be less problematic. If you are continually having a problem with your knitting, even if you are using different yarns and you haven't replaced the sponge bar in the last two to three years, it is probably a good time to replace it.
If you prefer to replace the plastic retaining bar in the ribber to prevent needles slipping down after you have selected them, you can use this needle retainer bar in the ribber as well. Dimensions: 110 cm tip to tip and 1 cm wide from outside edge to outside edge of metal.
