Taitexma
pronounced tie-tex-ma
Taitexma knitting machines are durable, metal-bed machines manufactured in Taiwan since 1989. They are heavily inspired by classic Brother knitting machine designs. They use similar terminology, levers, and 24-stitch punchcard systems, and many vintage Brother accessories can interchange with them.
