Yarn Tensioning Technique [0:00]
Carrie Craftgeek demonstrates her specific method for tensioning yarn in lever knitting. She starts by positioning the yarn on the floor to her right. The working yarn is then guided under and around her middle finger in a counterclockwise direction. Next, she turns her hand over, keeping her forefinger out of the way, and brings her ring finger over the top of the yarn. Finally, she flops her hand over, securing the yarn between her middle and ring fingers to achieve the desired tension for knitting.
