Returning to Machine Knitting after 8 Years! Sharing recent makes and plans with Small Flock Yarns

After an 8-year break from machine knitting, I’m finally back at it! In today’s video I’m sharing some of my recent makes, talking about the machine I’m using, and chatting about how I’d love to start creating machine-knitted products using my Small Flock Yarns wool.

I’ve knitted on and off since I was 12, but something about returning to machine knitting feels brand new again. If you love knitting, sustainable yarn, or you’re curious about combining hand knitting with machine knitting, I think you’ll enjoy this behind-the-scenes look.

✨ About Small Flock Yarns
My husband and I run a tiny flock of predominantly Romney sheep here in Sussex, UK. All the fleeces are sheared, processed, and worsted-spun within 25 miles. The yarn is undyed, soft yet strong, and full of provenance — perfect for hand knitting.

👉 In this video:
• Why I returned to machine knitting
• What it feels like after 8 years away
• A look at my recent projects
• How I hope to use Small Flock Yarns on the machine
• My ideas for future machine-knit products
