Success in Plying

We spend so much of our time spinning singles that plying the yarn can wind up being thought of as just a necessary nuisance. Plying, in reality is a very important part of making yarn. With plying comes balance and the opportunity to create different types of yarn from the same singles. Also, a good job of plying does justice to your beautifully spun singles.

In this class we’ll discuss twist (active, dormant and balance) and how the amount of twist in your singles and plied yarn affect the yarn’s hand and function. We’ll practice strategies for plying and make sample skeins that will bring you understanding and success. 

Student’s Required Skills:  
Students should be comfortable with their wheel and able to spin a continuous singles (successfully get a thread onto the bobbin).

Supplies Student Should Bring to Class:
Spinning wheel in working condition, lazy kate and 3 bobbins. Optional - scissors, note taking materials, labels for sample skeins, chocolate (always a good idea) and anything else you think you may need or want. (You do not need to bring your own singles to this class.)

Supplies Provided by Instructor:
Fiber used in class and handouts.


Day/time:  Sunday 1:00 to 4:00
