Is there any way you could turn off the background music in the video? It's loud and overwhelming and not at all needed. Thank you.

    Oh what a great idea. I'm always holding my yarn to try and keep the tension uniform. Unfortunately, the shipping to Australia is nearly as much as the cost of the tensioner.... and that's on Etsy Australia. It doesn't look that big? Surely $33.61 is over the top for shipping?

    • @SouthpawFiberArts
      @SouthpawFiberArts 5 місяців тому

      @kamilasmith unfortunately the international shipping prices from the USA to Australia are completely out of our control. The packaged weight of our tensioner by itself is just under 8 ounces and we completely agree with you on the costs for international shipping. We’ve found that anything shipped over 8 ounces in total weight almost doubles the international shipping charge to the UK, Canada and Australia.

      The Ultimate Tensioner™ will keep constant tension, like having an extra hand, on your fiber even when you stop to switch directions in panel settings. When used properly you will end up with tight professional and consistent looking panels and tubes. You should still watch the panel edges when switching directions and watch for knots or tangles in the fiber if not caking your yarn.

      It allows you to use the Addi Knitting Machine without the need for holding or guiding the yarn going into the machine and keeps a very consistent tension throughout your project so all of your stiches are perfectly uniform. You won’t end up with random loose or over tight areas showing up in the middle of a big project.
