Sarah Anderson - Navajo Plying
Loading...
Uploaded by InterweaveVideos on Aug 10, 2009
Sarah Anderson previews her Spin-Off Autumn Retreat 2009 workshop by explaining her unique Navajo plying technique. Her variation on the Navajo-plying or Chain-plying technique is different than many others because all three plies are completely under control and under equal tension when the twist enters them, resulting in a very consistently plied yarn.
More great information from Sarah will be found at her 2009 SOAR Workshop: All You Can Eat Yarn Design Buffet. Visit www.interweavesoar.com to register!

Thank you also. Your technique is so efficient and straight forward. Your hands aren't all over the place and your not struggling. Pleasure to watch and and looking forward to following in your footsteps!

Even though this is not genuinely Navajo plying this is the first videeo I've seen which makes it VERY clear a) how to start off and b) what to do once you start. It could have been shown a little slower for the hard-of-thinking such as myself (!!) but nevertheless it's the only one I've seen so far that actually shows me in such a way that I am not totally confused. Thank you so much for sharing!

That is a fantastic video. OK, not quite the way I do it, but I have never seen navajo ply explained so clearly and calmly before! Brilliant - a pleasure to watch (I nearly fell asleep - that is meant as a compliment!!!!).
-
Yes! I got it!! :-)
Thank you very much for this clear and good video-tutorial!
-
Wonderful video with great tips and hints. Explaining "balanced" ply for Navajo plying and letting singles rest. You take your time so that we can see what you are doing, and you do it enough times that we are able to watch every little part of the process. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this! I live in an area where finding a teacher or supplies can be tough- this video helped me learn a new technique for all my handpainted rovings!

This is the best video I've seen on Navajo plying -- talk about being one with the wheel & the yarn... Can't wait to try this.
