YST Episode 30 Plying

from Yarnspinners Tales's Podcast

There's a misconception in the spinning community that if you know how to spin a yarn, you know how to ply.  In this episode I talk all about the whys and ways of putting single strands of handspun yarn into complex yarns. I would like to thank the following authors for writing their books and thus helping me pass along what I learned from them in my podcast: Alden Amos:  Big Book of Handspinning Margaret Stove:  Handspinning Dyeing & Working with Merino and Superfine Wools Diane Varney  Spinning Designer Yarns Music in the podcast is from the Podsafe Music Network The interlude music is by Kelvin Bear and is called The Mist The ending song is by Iona Leigh and is called Blackbird As always a big thank you to Claire Dowling for the spinning song I use as the intro to the podcast.
