Learn to Ply

  • Nash Lake Fiber Farm 25545 Fairlawn Avenue Webster, MN, 55088 United States (map)

Learn to Ply with Lindsey

Date: Saturday, May 18th 12:30-1:30 (will follow Spin With Ewe)

Location:  Nash Lake Fiber Farm

Cost: $15

Do you have single bobbins you'd like to ply, or would you like to sample fiber without using multiple bobbins?  Join us for an hour of plying techniques from a single bobbin.  We will systematically go over how to construct a 2 ply yarn with a center pull ball and the Andean technique.  Taking it one ply further, we will chain ply (creates a 3 ply yarn). 

The two ply yarns are good techniques for a wheel or spindle.  Chain plying is quicker on a wheel, but can be accomplished on a spindle.  Beginner friendly.  Bring your spinner, singles, and a lazy kate if you have one. If you don't have them or don't know what they are, sign up anyway.  We will have a couple of wheels and lazy kates to use and singles yarn will be available to purchase. Beginner friendly. Hope to see you there!
