So, if your skein is underplied, you can fix it by adding more plying twist. And, if it's underplied but you want a thicker yarn, you could add more ply twist with 2 strands of 2-ply; this is called a <i>hawser</i> yarn,Amelia of Ask The Bellwetherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837966439073456616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183250014956175356.post-52318168176602257642016-08-05T20:23:02.335-07:002016-08-05T20:23:02.335-07:00Is it possible to run the two ply through again an...Is it possible to run the two ply through again and add more twist without taking it apart into singles again?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09279938686729285316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183250014956175356.post-34592393724956028142008-01-11T10:02:00.000-08:002008-01-11T10:02:00.000-08:00@josiane: the writeup on Navajo 4-ply is up -- in ...@josiane: the writeup on Navajo 4-ply is up -- in <A HREF="http://askthebellwether.blogspot.com/2008/01/what-is-navajo-4-ply.html" REL="nofollow">today's post</A>!Amelia of Ask The Bellwetherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837966439073456616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183250014956175356.post-57680021085310489212008-01-05T16:33:00.000-08:002008-01-05T16:33:00.000-08:00@vicki - thanks, as always!@josiane - working on i...@vicki - thanks, as always!<BR/><BR/>@josiane - working on it, it got skeined up last night :-)<BR/><BR/>@ puddnik -- I unplyed onto another bobbin, taking out all the plying twist.
