    That tensioner is cool! I'm going to have to look into one. I've had an addi for years but am just now getting into how to use it to it's fullest potential. Although if I can't master the panel setting it's about to go out the window 😂

    Thank you for the video. I just bought this tensioner for my Sentro machine. I would love to see a detailed video for the Sentro machine. I would also love to see more detail given on the different tensions. Sample yarns to use with each of the springs and how much to screw the white piece on also.
    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.

      Hi - page 4 of the guide goes over the springs. For 3-4 weight yarn, the gold spring with the adjustment knob tightened to 1/4 way in on the shaft is a good starting point. The adjustment is dependent upon the machine since they all wear in a little differently.

    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.

    • @SouthpawFiberArts
      @SouthpawFiberArts  8 місяців тому +1

      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.
