Plying, Spinning, Technical

Doing the math on plying from a center pull ball

March 29, 2018March 29, 2018 Patti O'Brien Beaumont

Center pull ball plying makes one ply consistently different from the other ply. The effect is small, but it is more noticeable on low twist yarns. Center pull plying consistently makes one ply ever slightly looser and one ply slightly tighter.
