NEW! Yarn Tensioner from Nancy's Knit Knacks

Our yarn tensioner has the following features:
Clamps to a table surface with our heavy duty 1.75" clamping system.	Measures 6" x 2" x 3" high - the same as our Yarn Meter!
Includes 5 tensioning dowels -5/8" diameter. This provides optimal capability to apply as much tension as possible.	Both ends of the tensioner include stainless steel yarn guide loops which give the user the option to load from a swift or other yarn source which is located at any angle or height as compared to the tensioner.
It is the perfect companion for use with our Yarn Meter. It virtually eliminates all tensioning related issues sometimes experienced with lighter weight yarns. Eliminates the need for the user to hold the yarn in order to apply manual tension.	The tensioner is also great to use between a swift and a ball winder. Eliminates the need to hold the yarn. The tensioner both "guides" the yarn coming off of the swift in addition to applying tension.
Can be carried in our denim sack which was designed for our Yarn Meter. The sack can hold both the meter and the tensioner at the same time.	The user can experiment any way that they like in twisting their yarn through the maze. Or, they can run it straight through the center and use it simply as a guide. Because of our unique crossbar design, you can mount the tensioner in any orientation and the yarn will remain in the tensioner and not fall out!
Why did we develop this product? Our yarn tensioner was developed to provide a solution for lightweight yarns that are used with our Yarn Meter. We had discovered during the preceding year, that threads and lightweight yarns had the potential of causing the meter not to properly register the length of the yarn. This was due to the fact that the meter requires a minimum amount of TENSION to properly record the length. These lightweight yarns could be made to work if the user took the yarn in their hand prior to entering the meter. This solution tended to be hit or miss. So to resolve the problem, we developed the Yarn Tensioner which not only solved that particular problem, but also provided a nifty solution for swift to ball winder operations as well. It can be used in any application in which yarn tension needs to be controlled or yarn needs to be guided. Another highly useful product.
