Hi, excellent video and yeh, i'll definitely try the crate thing when the time comes. little question, a beginner here. How much should you fill your bobbin with single yarn before stopping, so on the spinning wheel, when two-plying, the bobbin there isn't getting overfilled in the end because its gonna be double the yarn. I partially ask because my bobbins don't have too much of a guard on one side, sadly, so I'm afraid it will potentially start sliding off at one point if it gets overfilled. For context, I'm working with yak wool, and since that's short fibers, I twist the singles quite a bit. probably rather too much als too little, aiming for thin yarn.
Ok, but the question I can't find an answer to, anywhere on the internet is...say I want to end up with a 2 ply worsted. How thin do I need to spin the singles?
Get a gauge tool (the little wooden "card" that has different width grooves cut into it). As you're starting to spin your single, pull some back off the bobbin, let it twist on itself and lay it in the worsted groove of the gauge tool. Keep adjusting the thickness of your single and letting it twist back on itself until you reach your desired 2-ply thickness.

Best explanation on the internet! Thank you!
Thank you for the clear demonstration. The method is perfect just what I needed!
I am late to this party but this helped me so much! Thank you! So glad it popped up in my feed!😀
watching you ply those together is mesmerizing! also, thank you so much 😊
Thanks for this awesome tutorial, I'm goign to be plying from cones, wont that be ok if theyre on a spindle so they dont fall over?
Hey this was super helpful, thank you for posting it. Really straightforward and lots of good info.
Do you check the degrees of the twist whilst plying. In order to have an equal ply?

Wow.. I also want that.. 😊 where can I buy that?
does every spinning wheel let u ply wool or only certain ones?
Every wheel can but its just harder if you don't have a lazy kate
Mine is an Shoe size Amazon box and 2 #7 knitting needles.
