🧶Tension & Gauge Calculator
Tension is personal. Your machine, your yarn, your hands — no two knitters get exactly the same result, and that's exactly why this calculator works from your swatch, not a generic set of numbers.
Use it to calculate your gauge, work out your cast-on stitches and row counts, and check the Tension Dial Quick Reference if you're not sure where to start.
Tension is the thing that turns yarn into something worth wearing. Getting it right is worth every minute of swatching. Because when your tension is right, everything else follows.
Your machine is waiting.
So are we.
