About the Brother KH260
The KH260 is Brother’s bulky-gauge machine designed for thicker yarns and quick progress. It is a punchcard model, so you can knit textures and simple motifs without electronics. Pair it with the KR260 ribber to add true rib fabrics, double bed jacquard, and polished edges. Whether you are exploring your first bulky or upgrading from a standard gauge, the KH260 offers a solid blend of capability and reliability.

The Original Stitch Pattern Punchcards
The KH260’s punchcard system opens the door to tuck textures, slip patterns, and simple motifs.
Start with the original Brother cards to see how the machine behaves with your yarn and gauge.
Once you have a feel for it, you can repeat, mirror, or combine designs for fresh results.
Practical tip: swatch each pattern with the yarn you plan to use and note row counts and any carriage settings that produce the cleanest fabric.
