- Ply on the fly on a top Whorl spindle is easy, as long as you know the steps. This video shows you how to start your leader, make that first loop for POF and how to park your loop until you are ready to ply again!
Whodathunkit!!!! You can spin AND ply your way through your fiber???? So impressed!!! Doing it right along with you.
I'm a new spinner looking to try some more methods of plying; this looks great. Excellent job of showing the bits we really need to see in order to learn without having to fast-forward through a lot of spin-spin-spin the part we already know.
Thank you! I loved your video also that’s the best
OMG. The thing I didn't even know I needed to know!! Center pull balls are the spawn of Satan. I just learned so many things. Thank you! And thank the UA-cam algorithm for once!
This looks very advanced. I didn't know what fly on the ply was. Very cool. A goal for sure.
EXCELLENT in depth video!
There it is😊 what a cute little spindle💞
This was super helpful! Thank you!!
NO way! This is so cool! Need a little more practice with spinning singles, but can't wait to try this! Thank you for sharing. :-)
Hi, Sara thank you for this video tutorial I am going to try this today
Great Demo
Thank you Michelle!
Excellent 👍🏾
I really like your videos. You explain everything so clearly. Do you spin on a wheel too?
Hi Debra! Thank you so much for the kind note! I do also wheel spin. Is there something you'd like to see done on the wheel?

I cannot see how you bring the spin part into the loop the first part of the video. Do you bring the yarn just threw the loop. Your working it a bit not clear enough. The first for me.
These videos are so great! Can you do one on drafting? I cannot draft to save my life, I have to pre-draft everything.
I have one on drafting for consistency. We you looking for a drafting troubleshooting video?
@@SpinningSara I'm definitely looking, if that's still relevant a year later :D
When you ply the yarns together do you spin the opposite direction from when you made the singles?
Can’t speak for the OP, but having given it a go I recommend plying in the opposite direction to your spinning.
I looked very closely in the video, and she starts her leader clockwise, and then does the first chain ply counter-clockwise. So yes, just as you'd expect, the ply has to be opposite of the original spin. (With plying, the objective is to get the spins balancing one another so it doesn't pull itself apart.)
Can this technique translate to a kick spindle or a bottom whirl?
Absolutely! Your makes just need to be a little longer so you can use the top hook of the bottom whorl. I don't see why it wouldn't be able to be used with a kick spindle. I've never used one so I can't be of much help but I'd imagine the mechanics are much the same and a drop spindle. Just be mindful of your twist directions!
