Sweet Spot

The last step of making the 4-ply Cable Yarn was a little tricky.

There is a sweet spot - the right amount of twist - that makes the yarn pop into a cable, giving it a braided appearance.

 

 

Too little twist and the yarn looks like a regular ol' 2-ply (albeit four strands).

 

 

Still not enough twist,

 

 

much better.
