zarful71, you're right - they aren't plied! I yu wanted to ply it. you could ply it with thread (or I sometimes use my hemp laceweight), to keep the crazy texture.

What kind of wheel do you have? I was thinking of Ashford's Country wheel. It says it has a large orofice & s=bobbin.

@hatdiva2 I have an Ashford Kiwi with a jumbo flyer kit.

Hi how do you keep the slubby texture after you've plied? Your yarns don't look like they're plied. Thanks.

I love the fun texture you put into this particular type of yarn!!! I can't wait until I get a wheel so I can try to play with some of your LocalSpun batts. :D
