Plying Yarn on a Spindle
About Plying Yarn on a Spindle
Plying is the second step in spinning yarn. The first is taking fiber, wool, and adding twist to make a handspun singles yarn. To achieve a plied, multistrand, yarn two or more singles are spun together in the opposite direction.
Discover the freedom a spindle provides for plying, the next step in spinning yarn. Learn easy ways to ply yarn without tangles. Test tricks and techniques for singles management as you two ply sample skeins. Then find out how three or more plies work. Explore the possibilities for chain ply including ply on the fly. Cynthia, a spindle maker, will demystify spindle plying.
