Needle Retainer & Sponge Bar for SK280, SK840

$38.00

When you’re working with a knitting machine such as the SK280, every component matters — especially the parts that guide and stabilize your needles. The Knitting Machine Sponge Bar for the SK280 delivers on both reliability and performance. Over time, original sponge or felt bars can become compressed, worn, or misshapen leading to dropped stitches, inconsistent loops or excessive tension issues. 41″ long x 3/8″ high, sponge only.

Installation is simple: remove your old bar, measure and compare to confirm you’re ordering the correct size and gauge (especially important if your machine has had previous modifications). Once installed, you’ll experience smoother operations, better stitch consistency, and fewer interruptions in your knitting. Whether you’re working on everyday projects or intricate designs that demand precision, this sponge bar gives you one less variable to worry about.

  • Precision fit & compatibility: Designed specifically for the SK280 and compatible standard gauge (4.5mm) models like SK218, SK580, SK840, SK325, SK360, SK155, SK151 & SK270.

  • High-quality foam and vinyl top layer: Made from medium-density foam with a durable vinyl cloth surface on top for wear resistance and reliable performance.

  • Retainer bar: The sponge bar acts as a needle retainer/presser bar, keeping needles in position during carriage movement for better stitch control and fewer dropped stitches.

  • Easy to install: Removal of your original bar and replacing it with this sponge bar is straightforward. Check length and gauge before ordering to ensure correct fit.

Note: Always check your original bar’s length and width before ordering. Some machines or variations may require a different size or foam density.
