All About Tension

Tension (how tight the yarn is when being pulled into Roly-Poly) will

affect the density of your ball. The speed you operate will influence

tension, because at higher speeds, any given swift will have more

drag. But a good, low-friction swift will still produce acceptably

dense balls at higher speeds. However, if your swift isn't as smooth

or squeaks and/or "barks" at mid speeds, then you might consider

keeping the speed knob in the lower ranges if you require a lower ball

density.

In the case of needing a tighter ball with higher density and simply

running faster speeds isn't desired, you have the option of using the

internal tension hooks built into the flyer. You can route your yarn

around these two hooks before running back through the two steel

guide rings. This detour in the yarn path will add more tension to the

yarn going onto the ball. In testing, this feature would only be used

when balling fine silk blends at lower speeds. (Silk blends have less

drag overall and therefore less tension.)
