- Nancy's Knit Knacks is
pleased
- to introduce a
multi-use
- Yarn Tensioner
|
|
|
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.
