- To ply? Or not to ply? That is the question Spinning Sara discusses in this episode. Sara talks about the need for foresight when spinning for singles yarns, twist in singles yarns and more!

Thank you! I have just never heard anyone explain why, this was very helpful❤
Glad you found it helpful Teresa!! Thanks for watching!
That is a very important topic, all tips are welcome, spinning singles is not easy! I love your pop dolls collection, by the way ❤❤❤😊!
It isn’t easy. You’re right!! It takes more concentration than I’d have thought. lol.
Yes my pops. I’ve been a life long Sleeping Beauty fan and these are the new ones for the 65th anniversary!
Thank you, Sara! ❤
Thanks for watching Danielle!
I was challenged to make a single yarn. Thank you for the help.
I hope this video made spinning the singles yarn a little easier for you!!
When I first started spinning I really wanted to spin singles- and it was pretty hard! Now a couple years in and my singles are so thin that they’d be laceweight singles, which isn’t what I’d use most, so I ply them. But I’d like to go back to trying for a fingering-weight single, and having that desired ply twist goal in mind will be very helpful! How do you usually finish your singles yarn?
The same way I finish all my yarns. Cool water soak with some wool wash then spin dryer wrings it out. I hang it, NO WEIGHTS, and allow to air dry.
Hi Sara, I hope you're OK xx ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thankyou so much for sharing this video podcast.
I have a question,
I have 2 Spin Control Cards. One I got with my Wheel ( eWheel 6) which shows the Z going Clockwise and another one that I bought separately which has the Z going anti Clockwise.
Why is there a conflict in the direction of twist????
I didn't realise until I was checking against the one you have. I do spin both the Drop Spindles and my eWheel in the Z and Ply S .
Just wondered why there is a difference between the 2 control cards
I hope you've had a Wonderful Weekend. 🌞🌟✨️
Happy Spinning Fibre Friend 🎡🐑🥰
Take care and stay safe
Love and hugs Jen xxxx ❤️❤️❤️❤️🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🐈⬛
I’m not sure why there is a discrepancy. Here is how I remember twist. Follow the slant of the letter. The Z twist slants to the right, because you’re spinning to the right, or clockwise. The S twist slants to the left, because you’re spinning to the left or anti clockwise. The letter z leans right and the letter s leans left. HTH!
