What am I doing wrong with this yarn winder & swift

I bought the winder and it’s great! Although I had to look no it through my fingers as the tension was so loose the yarn flew off the winder before I wound the whole skein! :rofl:. By running it through my fingers to the loop on the winder it added just that little bit more tension and slowing down how fast I was winding it, the whole 100 grams fit. One more thing. I think, you need to be careful how much tension you add so that the yarn isn’t wound too tight. By the 3 skein I had it down pat and I am so glad I bought one…:grin:

Oooh @Spurs, glad that you got it working and perfectly too. Whoever invented that complicated looking device is a genius :grinning:
