You've got a Canadian-made Lendrum, I see. Very nice! It's a joy to spin with. Thanks for all your great vids, J.!

Thanks for the lovely note, Robin!

I’m so curious, how did you take a three ply yarn and go back and make it a two ply? Sounds like magic!

[@LongThreadMedia]

This is a good question that spinners often ask! You can remove a ply after a yarn is finished by carefully removing it either by hand or at the wheel. However, most spinners consider this to be so slow and the risk of tangles so great that they would rather spin more singles and ply a new yarn. If you had a super special project, it might be worth the effort, and you can look online for specific resources to help out. Best, Spin Off Team
