It’s Time To Ply

Been treadling hard every day!  Pedal to metal for sure!  Working to keep up with TDF guys!  
There should be a vast abundance of finished product visible; alas, there isn’t!

It’s time to ply yarns—need the bobbins free to continue on the journey.  Don’t you love my “lazy Kate”?  It works—my fingers provide the tension on the threads as they ply. 

You know you have a good ply when the yarn is relaxed, it doesn’t kink up!  

Looking okay on the bobbin—this is green cotton, natural grown. 

This plied brown cotton resting before it is wound into warp

Patient bobbins waiting their place in line before they head to the ball winder.  Three are green cotton, two are already plied; one is single ply white cotton.  Another bobbin will need to be spun before this one can meet its partner.  Always feel accomplished when bobbins are empty!!
