thanks for showing me what spinning & plying are all about. I am a crocheter and am so glad to apply your techniques to my work.

Hi Abby,

I just love your videos!!! I have a couple of questions about the lazy kate. Can you use any lazy kate to do this? I tried this several times with my Roberta and the singles looked like they where plying with a good bit of twist, but when I took it off onto a niddy noddy it was just awful kinky and hardly any ply. I used my tension Lazy from Schacht. I tried this with my sild and then with my merino and it came out the same way?

What am I doing wrong?
