How can I improve my knitting tension?

Improving your knitting tension can make a big difference! Are you looking for tips on how to hold your yarn or your needles?

I think my yarn is too tight. What should I do?

If your yarn feels too tight, try using a larger needle size or loosening your grip on the yarn as you knit.

What about the type of yarn? Does that affect tension?

Absolutely! Different yarns have different thicknesses and textures, which can affect your tension. A smoother yarn might slide easier, while a fuzzy yarn can create more friction.
