This issue is all about bulky. Every spinner knows it well, that thick, larger than life yarn we all create in the beginning of our spinning career but then becomes an enigma as our spinning skills increase. This issue of Ply will have you spinning big, bold, beautiful yarns but this time around it will be by design and created with purpose. Learn to draft for thicker woolen and worsted yarn. Ply several singles to build the bulky you want. Terrific tips and tricks for building grit and increasing diameter. Learn to keep your bulky even and consistent or create thick and thin. Are there better breeds for bulky yarn? Why yes and Beth Smith tells you which. Deb Robson tackles the issue of fiber length while Michelle Boyd talks about wheel set up and tension. It’s fascinating to learn how yarn diameter affects color. These are just some of the articles, there’s even more. So make sure Ply is top on your list of summer reads and then get spinning!

Don’t forget we stock back issues of Ply.
