Pushing It

 I did more plying today and tried to make only one skein. It didn't work. Oops.

 





So I made a giant skein and a skinny skein, then I washed them, and set the twist by "finishing" the yarn.

I like to Snap and Thwack. (Actually, I love to thwack.)

Snapping, realigns the fibers and sets the twist.

 


 

Thwacking blooms and possibly strengthens the fibers by (slightly) abrading them. It also feels good to thwack away happily.
