trouble plying

Recommended Posts

I have an Ashford Traveler wheel. I can spin fine on it, but when I try to ply the yarn goes on the bobbing very loosely and sometimes won't take it up at all. I've put on a new driveband, new scotch tension spring, anad tried adjusting the tension all the way from very light to tight enough to almost stop the wheel - still no luck. I've been spinning about 15 years and this just started to happen. Any ideas how to fix it?

:thinkAre you spinning the wheel in the opposite direction to the way it went when you spun the yarn?

 

It is a long time since I did any spinning but I do remember plying with the wheel spinning backwards.

 

Hope this helps.

Have fun.
