NOTE - I've made a couple of improvements to this technique - please visit my blog at rosemaryknits.b... and read the added notes, which were added in April of 2009. These improvements greatly improve the productivity of this technique. Check it out!
This is a spinning and plying technique where a length of singles is spun, then Navajo plied back onto the spindle. Another length is spun, then plied, and so on, so that when your spindle is full, it's full of plied yarn! It's the most ingenious technique I've ever seen. Tammy is a genius.
I love spindle spinning and I love any technique that makes it self sufficient: your navajo plying on the fly is ingenious and I can't thank you enough...
Oh, how cool it that!? I do a sample of three ply like that just doing the first length, but never thought of keeping it going. I'm excited to try that.
This is amazing! Took me a bit to get (the feeding the yarn through the loop went over my head the first 10 times I tried it) but I tried it with some already spun yarn (so I wouldn't keep dropping the spindle when trying to think) and it clicked. I love it!
How clever! Just yesterday I was wondering if a technique like this existed. Thanks for the how-to!
This is a video I'll want to come back to. Right now I'm in spinning kindergarten - and I think your technique is spinning grad school. :) When I get more "educated" I'll be back. Looks neat.
Brilliant! Maybe I'll try this for my "challenge yourself" day of the Tour de Fleece :)
mastered this today, great technique
omg, amazing!
thank you so much!!
That's fascinating! Thanks for sharing, I'll probably try it some time :-)
GENIUS!!!
Dear one, GIVE TAMMY A HUG For me, TELL HER GRACE IN VERMONT WATCHED AND LOVES THIS AMAZING TEchnique!!!! If you see my other videos I have a link to Tammy in the video ( I think it is the spinning one where I type out her name) How is she doing? Give her my best, grace B.
That is SO COOL!! Too bad I didn't find this when I started spinning my 1/2lb of wool instead of when I was almost done with it, but I'm definitely going to try this for my next project.
One question... is the 3-ply yarn you get from Andean plying considered a "cabled" yarn just like it would be if you took 3 separate singles and plyed them together? I love knitting cables, so I want to spin a yarn that will show them off well, and I hear 3- or 4-ply cabled yarn is best for that. Thanks!
genius technic. thanx for showing.

You make this look so easy!! I can't wait to try it! :D (Once I master basic spinning, that is! *wink*)
