An exciting share! The impressive Chambord CSM has done it again! Check out this totally refurbished machine!
Dave Lord later shared that the machine came to him as a hybrid and that they did a full refurbish.
This very vintage circular sock machine (known by its name “Cooperative”) was built in its time, without upthrow cams (instead featuring a slope in the cam shell which sometimes meant needles would drop down at the wrong time, creating dropped stitches). Unhappy face.
Issues now solved with a creative addition which included two teardrop configured upthrow cams! Happy face!!
This exciting masterpiece is going to be hand delivered to its new csmer in under two weeks with a hands on demo! In addition to all that I created a YouTube Cooperative machine video as well! VIDEO

This morning I made a sample sock on the machine using two dial turns from the tightest setting with the heel spring in place the foot has 60 rows with the finished sock (not long after coming off the machine) gauge on this yarn at 13 rows/9 stitches per inch. Certainly a sock can be made at a looser gauge but this worked out well for my US8.5 women’s sized foot.
