Description: A common complaint from crocheters is that yarn splits, dividing into separate plies as they stitch, even yarn that they don’t find splitty when knitting. Z-ply yarn is generally suggested for crocheters as being less likely to split. This article delves into the question of whether direction of twist affects a yarn’s tendency to split when crocheted, testing singles yarn, lower-twist 2-ply, and higher-twist 2-ply, each worked in double crochet and Tunisian simple stitch.
