Transfer tools for knitting machines are essential accessories that help in moving stitches from one needle to another, enabling complex patterns and designs. Here are some key points about these tools:

1. Types of Transfer Tools:

   • Single-Prong Transfer Tools: Used for transferring individual stitches.
   • Multi-Prong Transfer Tools: These can transfer multiple stitches at once, such as 2-prong, 3-prong, which come with the Silver Reed Knitting Machines.
   • Double-Eye Needles: These have eyes at both ends and are used for transferring stitches in both directions. The double eye needle comes with the Silver Reed Ribber. It is often desired for seaming as the needle is long and easy to use. You can order double eye needles here.

2. Materials: Transfer tools are made from metal for the tip and high-quality plastic for the handle, ensuring they can withstand repeated use.

3. Usage: These tools are used in various knitting techniques, including creating cables, lace patterns, and other intricate designs. They are essential for both standard, mid-gauge and bulky gauge knitting machines.

Transfer tools are invaluable for machine knitters looking to expand their repertoire of techniques and create more complex and detailed projects.
