Hrmm it didn't really cause a problem but you know, the ashford has such a small bobbin it's not like it is making a huge ball so thats why I dont think its a problem. Might depend on how sticky the fiber is too!

I hear from Amos ( He wrote a book on spinning) to keep the plys under tension ( tensioned lazy kate ) and keep the Kate as FAR from the spinning orifice as possible.Also like Pixie is doing here, keeping a finger between plys helps. I find if I am doing a small amount I like to ply by hand spindle better than the wheel. Pixie love your videos!, grace

Hey! I just searched for handspinning and found you! I'm having a total nightmare plying at the moment - can't get the tension anywhere near right :-(

Hi, so sorry I mixed your name up with Abby Franquemont who also spins. I really enjoyed your plying because I struggle with plying. What happens when the ball gets so small that the fibers start to fall inward? Thank you for the posting of this video!
Thanks Abby! What kind of wheel do you have?
