    Clockwise, but I try to twist the other way sometimes in order to get a little variation. It is harder to twist counterclockwise.

    Lets see how long this little lump can get. Viva la natural!

    I seem to twist clockwise, unless there is a call to twist the other way for some reason.

    Well, this seems like the perfect place to find that out! I haven't done an official count, but even though it seems like the majority of righties twist clockwise, and lefties twist counter clockwise, there's a lot of people who do the opposite, so I don't know if it's statistically significant...

    Left handed; mostly twist counterclockwise but do certain updos clockwise. Everything depends on how I first learned.
