**Thanks to all the fans donations I am finally able to create and upload new tutorials!! I am one lucky gal!!**
Let me take you on a journey. A journey that will demystify and explain a widely misunderstood plying technique that takes one single and turns it into a 3-ply yarn. You are entering, the Tutorial Zone. *que Twilight ZOne Music*
~~We were in the top 100 two days in a row after I uploaded this! Thanks everyone!~~

Hi !! Love love love your tutes, but I totally don't get this. I don't understand how you got from the loop you first created with the two knots, to the three strands you are holding.

Thank you kindly!!
It's just like finger crocheting only on a much larger scale. Did you watch the entire video? I don't know how much more clearer I could explain it! LOL

So it's sort of like a basic crochet but with really long loops?

Your video is fantastic - the person who tried to show me this did it so fast even though I asked for a slower version. I was so frustrated I never even tried to Navajo ply. Your upbeat attitude makes learning a pleasure. It is easy to see that you really care about passing on good information to help others. BRAVA!!! I am going to watch all of your videos. Hugs - Donna

I used your video to learn the basics of the ply (where it becomes 3 plies....) and a few others to learn the spindle part. But now I'm waiting for my first spinning wheel to arrive......UPS should bring Monday. I'm like a little kid at Christmas. Or a big brat. Wanted to make sure I had the idea how to use a wheel to do this. Thanks for the clear demo.
I'm getting very even, Navaho plied, 18 wpi on a spindle. I've been told that is very good, so decided I could graduate with a wheel.

I watched this video a few days ago. Today I decided to try navajo plying for the first time, and thanks to the super-slow-mo demonstration I had watched, I had no trouble at all! So I looked up your video again so I could say thanks for demonstrating this so well. Thank you! :)

Hello, you are my spinning angel! You are beyond great, thank you so much for these videos. I have a question for you . I keep hearing people talking about Navajo plying to "conserve the colors", what the heck does that mean? I have a lovely striped roving I want to spin and am not sure how to do it without ending up with muddy colors. Thanks again!

I was wondering if you are spinning your wheel in the opposite direction in which you created the single?? I am ready to try!

Wow... I'm trying to think about how I could do this with my ©Sling-Blade Handspinner.... No treadling for me, bum feet, no electric spinner yet.. I bet I can, with some practice and park and draft!
