We classify non-affine, prime knots in the solid torus up to 6 crossings. We establish which of these are amphicheiral: almost all knots with symmetric Jones polynomial are amphicheiral, but in a few cases we use stronger invariants, such as HOMFLYPT and Kauffman skein modules, to show that some such knots are not amphicheiral. Examples of knots with the same Jones polynomial that are different in the HOMFLYPT skein module are presented. It follows from our computations, that the wrapping conjecture is true for all knots up to 6 crossings.
