  • Hi,

    Thanks again for creating this video so now I will try to ply.

    Karen from Indiana, USA

  • 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!
