The mill works well with most hand knitting yarns. Contents include - Knitting mill maxi, Crank, Mode switch, Yarn guide, tension piece, Handle, Plastic needle, Legs & Instructions for use. The mill has a test sample already in the mill from the factory. There is a pattern leaflet available from Prym to make a Lampshade, if I have it in stock will include this in the parcel.

Here are some tips to help you start using your new knitting mill -
Drop a long end of yarn down the middle of mill when you start so you can grab it and place tension on the yarn as it moves through the mill. Slowly turn the handle and watch each latch hook open and close, if one doesn't stop. Use a fine crocket hook or a yarn needle to open and close the hook that doesn't cooperate. I do recommend starting very slowly and pick up speed gradually. Once you have made enough of a square to hold on to and put tension on it, it gets easier because the tension helps the hooks open and close. You will find that different yarns work better than others. Clip on weights could be used throughout but I still recommend using hand at the beginning.
