I already n-ply but not like her! Going to try her way...looks easier & smoother!

yup - was watching the same video this morning.

I do the huuuuuuuuuuge sweep of the arms and it can get tiring

plan to try this at some point!

blopeep: I sometimes break the single the way I do it - this doesn't look like it'd break easily.

blopeep: I know what you mean! LOL I try not to sweep too much but it's hard not to sometimes.

out of all the videos I watched I like this one the best. I've added it to my play list so I can go back to it.

alreadycrzy: yes, me too! it'll be hard to break my habits I have already but it'll be worth it.

I haven't tried Navajo plying yet buy I really want to. I think that's how I'll ply the club fiber I'm waiting on.

RoxanneZYG - yes, breaking singles has been a problem, but I've learned how to better position

my kate so that the tension isn't so strong. That and making sure the single isn't pulling on the

loop when I'm "loading up". I used to hate chain-plying; now I'm a huge fan.

alreadycrzy: actually the fibre you're waiting on is perfect for chain plying...it'll go nice & thin

blopeep: Ya! I've been pulling the single through the loop and it creates a tension spot...must adjust a bit more

Exactly! Seeing her *not* pull the loop through the chain was a real revelation ...

and also explains (likely) why she doesn't get a big bump at the start/finish of a chain.

I started the February fiber on Monday (Pollock) and I'm spinning *thread* for goodness sake.

wasn't the plan, but gosh that alpaca wants to be THIN!
