  • The rotating wheel is kinder to the yarn than direct-friction tensioners
  • Useful as a sub-tensioner, for fine adjustment after a bigger tensioner
  • Particularly suitable for spandex yarn as it does not expand the elastic in the yarn
  • Twist stop wheel is hard chrome plated with yarn-friendly “orange-peel” surface
  • Knitting, pantyhose, socks etc.
