TdP 2025: 7/27 - 7/30

It took four days to ply the singles of ITW "Decidedly So". My spinning plan mentioned plying a traditional 3-ply or .... I went with or.

 


 

I spent three days working on a new to me technique: Winding a Chain-Ply plying ball.

Sunday, July 27

The plying ball is essentially a crochet chain of three singles. I ended up wrapping around a quarter instead of the yellow styrofoam ball which was too slick and kept flying out of my hands. 

 


 

Monday, July 28

A really long (crochet) chain, across the room in fact.

 


 


 

Tuesday, July 29

Plying ball completed, ready for the actual plying (adding twist).

 


 

Wednesday, July 30

Plying was super quick, just a little over an hour. Worth it? TBD - to be determined.
