Press the yarn between your thumb and index finger to hold it and control the tension of the yarn as you work with it. Tighten your grip to increase the tension, and loosen your grip to decrease the tension. You can also skip this part of the hold if you prefer. You may find it easier to have the yarn dangling free rather than between your index finger and thumb. Wrap the yarn starting from under your hand going up between your pinkie and ring finger. Then, bring the yarn over the top of your pinkie towards the outer edge of your pinkie finger and back up between your pinkie and ring finger again before completing the basic hold. This will make your hold on the yarn a little more secure, and it will also help you to achieve more tension if needed. Do the basic yarn hold, but after you bring the yarn down over the edge of your index finger, bring it under and up between your index finger and middle finger. Then, bring the yarn across the top of your index finger again to complete the hold. Do not wrap the yarn around your finger too tightly. It should be snug against your finger, but not so tight that it is uncomfortable or cutting off your circulation!
