Navajo Plying

[Woven N Spun]

I learned how to do this today using this video.

I am well and truly hooked. I spun about a 1/4 of a bobbin to start as that was left over from another project. Then after supper I spun up another 3/4 of a bobbin and plyed it. Once you get the hand motions down, it's easy and fun and I can't wait to spin some more

me too me too! i did it on a spindle, but it wasn't much more hassle than regular plying, plus i didn't have to wind it off the spindle first, which was a bonus. i even managed to put it down half way through and come back without it tangling irreparably, which i didn't think i'd be able to do. i love the effect on the finished yarn, makes it all rounded, looks more like 'real' yarn to me.
