Short Butt Ribber Needles for Sock Machine

I tried the short butt ribber needles in my Legare (they’re actually shorter overall, therefore, don’t pop out as far and pull back closer to the center). They worked okay, but not as well as the regular ones. So I set them aside to try in a different machine.

After much fiddling with the rivet, I decided it just didn’t make enough difference so that ribbing stitches consistently did not drop. I changed out the cylinder needles and put in large-eyed needles. I will stick with the them; it ribs flawlessly with them.
