Plying
Description
This article seeks to break the “rule” that singles should all be spun in one direction and plied in the opposite and examines different yarns that can be created by spinning singles in opposite directions so that when you ply, you are removing twist from one single and adding twist to another. The article also discusses how to finish the resulting, unbalanced yarn.
