Sample Clamp & Port-Forward Stand
The port-forward stand holds the instrument securely in the port-forward position
and the sample clamp holds samples flat at the sample port. To attach the stand to
the ColorFlex EZ, lay the instrument on its side and install the two screws through
the stand into the bottom of the instrument using the Allen wrench provided. To use
the the sample clamp, pull the spring-loaded clamp away from the sample port,
insert the sample, and gently release the clamp.

Skein Holder
This is a device for measuring yarn skeins. Wind the yarn around the skein holder in
multiple taut layers until it is effectively opaque and is as flat as possible. Secure it in
place with the detachable arms on the sides of the skein holder. Place the skein
holder at the sample port and back it with the sample clamp or a white backing tile
to provide a consistent background and pressure. Make several measurements of
the skein, rotating the holder 90° between measurements and averaging the
readings for the final result.
