UNBOXING: The Ultimate Tensioner, by South Paw Fiber Arts (on Etsy)

Hello Everyone!!! 😃

Hope that my new video finds everyone, warm, safe and enjoying their "fall/winter season crafting projects!"

It made sense to experiment with The Addi (whilst learning how to old school knit ). I enjoyed it, but mine has been finicky since the get go... Happened upon this "Ultimate Tensioner", thought I'd give it a whirl : )

WOW, such a HUGE IMPROVEMENT/I am thankful for it's creation!!!! Thank you so much Shawna, for creating it!!! It's been a blessing indeed.

No one paid me to make this video. I made it to help anyone who is struggling with tension, on their handcrank knitters pre holiday season.

Mine arrived "swiftly", "well packed", with "freebies", which Shawna so kindly gifted. Definitely recommend her Etsy Store!

Regarding springs/adjustment. Much is dependent on your yarn.
On this occaision I was using a thicker polyester yarn , for a 🐑 doll. The "gold spring" worked great!!!

RE: Tension

*The Gold Spring = Light to Medium Tension

*The Silver Spring = Medium Tension

*The Gold & Silver Springs (used together) = Heavy Tension

On the arrival day, even our critters were excited - you know how pets can be (feeding off of your emotions/mood) ha ha ha So they are featured in the beginning of my Rumble video (pre unboxing).... who can resist those big furbaby eyes begging for hugs and kisses ...🤭

Other than that, "happy crafting" to all , may you have a Happy Thanksgiving, a very Merry Christmas (or whatever special holiday you celebrate) and Happy New Year 2025 to everyone all around The 🌎🌍🌏♥️🙏🙏🙏's
