I started machine knitting while my husband, Bill, was stationed in Japan in 1964. My first machine was a silver reed knitting machine. I presently use a Brother 965i knitting machine. We have been selling cone yarn in East Tennessee since 1986. Our web site is at http:// www.etsy.com/shop/stephaniesyarn
