3-ply yarn is so nice to knit with. I liked it much better than 2 ply. Just the way it feels round and goes through my fingers.

Did you ever do the single-to-3ply way of making it?
Yes, three ply is so smooth!

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "single to 3-ply." I usually spin three singles, dye them, and then ply them together on the wheel all at the same time. That's the only way I know how to do it. 😅

It's very hard to describe. Do you know how to crochet? If you do, it's like making the chain, but with your fingers and making long (3-4 inch) loops. You pull the single off the bobbin, "chaining" it with your fingers. While putting in the S-twist of plying and feeding it into the bobbin on the spinning wheel.

As I said, hard to describe. If you see it done, it makes sense.

Did you find a CPR course?

I looked it up, and apparently it's called chain plying. It looks cool!

I did, I signed up for one at college this Thursday, because I wanted to get it done soon.
