Description
Plying can make or break your yarn. It is just as important to the finished product as spinning the singles. This article discusses some of the decisions to make for singles twist (based upon the crimp of the fiber, the end use of the yarn, and the number of plies). It then walks through a plying method that will help you make sure to have plying consistency and the right amount of ply twist. It also includes a section about kate placement.
