Close Knit Bar - #5001 - Studio (Singer, Silver Reed) Standard & Fine gauge - (4.5mm & 3.6mm) -

Close Knit Bar - Studio (Singer, Silver Reed) - #5001 - Standard & Fine gauge - (4.5mm & 3.6mm). This small plastic strip was original equipment with  knitting machine ribbers. Easily lost or misplaced, it is a must have when doing fine knitting patterns and/or lace knitting on your machine . It is very important if you knit with a ribber as it keeps the yarn from becoming tangled in the sinker posts and carriage.  Not all close knit bars have the same appearance. 4.5mm Close Knit Bars are available in a U-grove style (Brother 4.5mm) or a "flat" style as in Studio 4.5mm. You can not use the Brother 4.5mm U-grove style close knit bar in a Studio 4.5mm machine & vice versa.
