Kh881a

The Brother KH881 is a punchcard machine with built-in half scale knitleader. It can do fairisle and single motif knitting because it has KC1 and KC2 positions, which control end needle selection. It was one of the last standard gauge punchcard machines produced by Brother, so has a lot of features built in.
