Chambord CSM Sweet Spot Heel/Toe Weight

Created from the ingenuity of the CSM community, the Chambord CSM “Sweet Spot” Heel Weight offers a thoughtful, streamlined alternative to traditional heel forks. Designed for makers who prefer a minimalist approach to short‑row shaping, this tool uses a V‑shaped hook paired with a single, balanced weight - powder‑coated in‑house to match the color of your Chambord AccuKnitter 400 CSM—to deliver even, consistent tension during heels and toes.

The Sweet Spot’s intuitive design positions the hook naturally at the ideal point of pull, creating a smooth, predictable tension profile that many knitters find both efficient and satisfying. While not widely known, it has earned a devoted following among those who appreciate its simplicity, clean workflow, and reliable performance.

Crafted with the same care and heritage‑aligned philosophy that define the Chambord CSM brand, the Sweet Spot Heel Weight is a subtle yet meaningful addition to your toolkit- perfect for Crankers who enjoy exploring the nuances of their craft.

Key Features

Upgrade your Chambord CSM AccuKnitter 400 with the Sweet Spot Heel Weight for smoother, more efficient operation.

Why upgrade? Unlike standard fork weights that require the Cranker to move up and arrange three separate items, the Sweet Spot Heel Weight consolidates everything into a single unit. This means the Cranker only has to maneuver one item, resulting in more efficient operation, less wear on your working item, and easier cranking.

Benefits:

• Simplified single-weight design
• Smoother cranking motion
• Reduced mechanical stress
• More efficient operation

Note: This is an add-on upgrade for the Chambord AccuKnitter 400 Circular Sock Machine. If ordering at the same time as the CSM, this will be powder coated to match your machine.
