Friday, May 13th, 2005Have you seen [Rachel spinning away at the airport on her Joy?](http://www.yarnagogo.com/blog/2005/05/new_york_.html) I love it! Here’s my Joy with the new [Polwarth that I dyed a few weeks back](http://blog.sweetgeorgiayarns.com/archives/2005/04/dyeing_polworth.html):
Ooh, and a close-up! See the Woolee Winder? I love that too! Hello, not moving yarn from flyer hook to hook!
I’m spinning thin singles with this but haven’t decided if I want to ply it. If I leave it as singles, they will be sock-weight-ish. If I navajo-ply it, I’ll get worsted-weight. I’d like to ply it on itself but I can’t figure out Andean plying. I heard of another method of making a 2-ply: winding the singles into a centre-pull ball, then plying using the two ends of the ball — but I also heard this can get messy. Hmm. Maybe I’ll keep it as flashy, colourful singles that will make stripes when knit up.
