We stock sponge bars for Brother/KnitKing, Studio, Singer, Silver Reed, Toyota and many others for  standard, Mid-gauge and bulky gauge machines . Passap and Pfaff knitting machines do not use sponge bars but instead use "pushers" and a spring design. 

Knitting machine ribbers often shipped from the factory with plastic needle retainer bars. These are OK for standard everyday knitting , however if you are knitting lace or fine knitting  such as for a suit, you will want to install an actual sponge retainer bar for your ribber. This will help control the stitch size and give you a better looking garment..

*Note: Toyota knitting machines use a special design sponge bar for machines that use extension rails. If you want to use extension rails with your Toyota machine, you will need to modify or rebuild your old sponges bar to work with your machine. There are no commercially available sponge bars for Toyota knitting machines for use with  extension rails.

*Note: before ordering any replacement sponge bar, check your old sponge bar dimensions to make sure they are they are the same as the one you are ordering. This information is published on each of our bars.
