Peacock Adjustable Yarn Tension Ring for Crochet & Knitting

A peacock with its head held high and its feathered tail wrapped around your finger. Every feather is detailed, down to the eye-spots, and in the Colorful finish the tail is painted in blue, green and gold. It is a striking little ring, and it is also an adjustable crochet tension ring that keeps your yarn exactly where you want it.

Pick your finish: antique silver with darkened feather detail, bright silver, gold, or Colorful. Wear one, share a pair, or collect all four.

The coiled, open band adjusts from size 4 to 13 and works on either hand, for crochet and knitting alike.

What You Get

• One peacock yarn tension ring in Antique Silver, Silver, Gold or Colorful, a 2-piece set in one finish, or 4 pieces, one in each finish.
• Size: about 0.87 in (22 mm) wide and 0.7 in (18 mm) tall, with a 0.08 in (2 mm) band.
• Fit: open, adjustable coil for sizes 4 to 13, left or right hand.
• Material: metal alloy; the Colorful finish has painted enamel colour on the tail.

Buying for two? The 2-piece sets cost less than two single rings, and the four-finish set costs less than buying four separately.

How to Use Your Peacock Tension Ring

1. Slide the ring onto the index finger of the hand that holds your yarn.
2. Gently open or close the coil until it sits snugly without pinching.
3. Thread the working yarn through the coil, as shown in the photos, so it runs from the ball to your hook or needles.
4. Crochet or knit as usual. The ring holds the strand steady, so your finger doesn't have to.

Allow a few rows to settle into it. Once you find the position, it feels like part of your hand.

Why You'll Love It

• A ring worth showing off. Detailed feathers and a proud peacock head make it feel like jewellery.
• Even, steady tension. The yarn feeds from the same point every stitch, which helps keep your work consistent.
• Comfortable for long sessions. No tight wrapping of yarn around your finger.
• Four finishes. From the vintage look of antique silver to the bright Colorful enamel.
• Made for gifting. Reviewers buy one to give and one to keep, which is exactly what the 2-piece sets are for.

How It Compares

Against wrapping yarn around your finger: the ring does the holding, so you can relax your grip and avoid yarn rub.

Against fixed-size rings: the open coil adjusts, so it fits the finger you actually use, even as fingers change size through the day.

Against our other designs: the peacock is the most decorative of our adjustable rings. The web design tension ring has the simplest yarn path for beginners, the cat tension ring comes in black and rose gold too, and the 925 sterling silver cat ring is our solid-silver choice.

Size, Materials & Care

• About 0.87 in (22 mm) wide and 0.7 in (18 mm) tall; band about 0.08 in (2 mm).

• Metal alloy in antique silver, silver or gold finish, or with painted Colorful enamel.
• Keep it dry and wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners, especially on the painted finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you use a crochet tension ring?
Wear it on the index finger of your yarn hand, thread the working yarn through the coil, and crochet as normal. The ring keeps the strand at one point so your tension stays steady.

What are the benefits of using a crochet tension ring?
Steadier tension, less finger strain, and better control of fine or slippery yarn, without wrapping yarn tightly around your finger.

How do I choose the right size?
No ring sizing needed. The open coil adjusts from size 4 to 13 and works on either hand.

Is there a 2-pack?
Yes. Every finish comes as a 2-piece set, and there is a set with one of each of the four finishes. Both cost less than buying the same rings singly.

Does it work for knitting?
Yes. Knitters who carry yarn over a finger use it the same way.

How do I clean a crochet tension ring?
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking it or using harsh cleaners.
