The Caron Embellish-Knit! Machine Kit produces a soft rope for decorating your projects that is excellent. The machine really needs to be mounted on a flat surface, with a hole in the bottom that allows the knitted rope to hang free and allows easy access for placement of the weighted clip. By holding the machine in my hand, I had the incoming yarn kept getting tangled with the outgoing knitted rope. As I cranked the handle, I found the handle came off often as it is not screwed on but only has a compression fitting to keep it in place.

While the idea is sound, this product fails to pull it off 100%. Not only are stitches often dropped, but even worse, often the hooks will pierce through the yarn and only grab have of it's component fibers. This causes the device to quickly lock up, requiring several painstaking minutes of unwinding and detangling. Admittedly, the product worked perfectly with the small sample of yarn provided, but I've yet to find any other yarn that it doesn't mess up. In addition, though less relevant, the device is surprisingly small. I can easily wrap my hand around it and have fingers meet palm. Naturally, this produces a thin woven strand as a result, though it may be enough to satisfy some users. Overall opinion: It works well, but only on a very limited selection of yarn.

As long as you are using medium weight yarn it works great. I haven't tried it with lighter weight yarn or with bulky yarn. It sure is a big improvement over working each stitch onto and off of a nail and through a thread spool. Linda at Relics

I'm using this to make i-cords for the "brain" hats for the March for Science. Great product. Use small gauge yarn.
