The apparatus includes a knitting cylinder adapted to receive a plurality of knitting needles and a bed for supporting the cylinder. A plurality of fleece section blocks are adapted to be attached to the bed and arranged along the perimeter of the cylinder to produce fleece fabric. The apparatus also includes a plurality of jersey section blocks each having the same number of feeders and peripheral dimensions as each fleece section block and adapted to be attached to the bed and arranged along the perimeter of the cylinder to produce jersey and a plurality of fleece sinkers for use with the fleece section blocks for producing fleece fabric and a plurality of jersey sinkers for use with the jersey section blocks for producing jersey fabric.
