Yarn Twist Problem................

I finally decided to begin on this knit along--love Toni Lorenz's patterns--

you can find her in "Knitting in the Loft" group on Ravelry.

I have been looking forward to this sampler--

I settled on my handspun "Phoebe" blend from Sky loom Weavers

It spun up beautifully!  knits up nice and soft--

One Problem!

I began the ruffle and look what's happening!  It's leaning to the right--

well, that's my fault!  I didn't set the twist in the yarn after I

spun  and plied it.  I just got excited to begin--wound it off

to ball and took it to needles--  when I saw this happening, I

immediately cut the yarn and skeined it off

After it's skeined, you can see how the twist

is uneven--mistakes can always be made when you

are spinning--and I've been spinning for 30+ years!

The object is to take the yarn off your bobbin, skein it

and have a perfectly balanced yarn--

Here's how I set the twist--I soak the yarn skeins in

warm water, wring them out and use two hangers to 

put weight on the skeins to set the twist--when

they dry--I'll be back in business!  to knit with

perfectly set yarn!
