SUMMARY:Spinning: Playing with Plying @ The Clearing Folk School
DESCRIPTION:Plying sometimes comes as an afterthought to the spinner. It’s just “what we do” to our singles. However\, plying is a specific skill set for the handspinner and an important tool in the design and construction of handspun yarns. We can ply for a specific yarn structure; to create a unique yarn design; to blend fibers; and to build color. We’ll explore all these plying skills and more during our class\, creating a wide-ranging palette of your own custom handspun yarns. \nThis class is being taught at The Clearing in Ellison Bay\, (Door County) WI. You must register directly with The Clearing by clicking the “website” link below. \nShare this:Share\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			Like this:Like Loading…
