Crochet Shell
Merrow Crochet Shell Machines add a decorative edge to your finishing process. The Merrow Company was the first to automate the process for crochet stitching. The Merrow Crochet Shell machines produce both the original plain crochet stitch and the ornamental shell stitches ranging from approximately 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch in width. These two thread machines allow you to vary the color of the second thread to brighten or complement the piece.
