I can spin rather thin.
I often choose the Navaho/Navajo plying, because I like a 3 ply yarn.
Now I wondered if I could do this with two singles?
I gave it a try……
I crochet the two singles at the same time and the final result will be a 6 ply.
As you can see it is possible. When I took the yarn of my skein winder it twirled to the left a lot.
To much ply! I unplyed it a little in the spin direction and now it looked and felt better.
It did twirl a little to the right though, but not as much as it did at first to the left.
I am content. It still is a very thin yarn, but it was a nice experiment and a lot of spinning 🙂
At ‘the Dutch Annual Spinning Day’ I bought space dyed soybean tops.
At the start, spinning was a little slippery, but I managed after a while.
It was plyed with a silk thread.
