Adjusting Uptake

Uptake pulls the yarn you are spinning onto the bobbin. With too 
little uptake, the yarn will not feed onto the bobbin. With too much 
uptake, the wheel will pull the yarn out of your hands too soon, and 
your yarn will be under-twisted and prone to breaking. Set the 
tension as light as you can while getting enough uptake because 
that is easier on the motor.
To set the uptake, first adjust the dial so the tension string goes 
around the bobbin pulley with no tension. Then turn the tension 
dial clockwise slightly until the string has just a small amount of 
tension. To increase uptake, turn the dial clockwise. To decrease 
uptake, turn the dial counterclockwise.
