Singles - 2007/06/27 18:03I've been reading about using singles in weaving and knitting... What baffles me is how you get a stable single that doesn't try to twist up on you, or untwist to the point of falling apart...
Any guidance?

Re:Singles - 2007/06/28 08:59Yes, you can, especially if it isn't terrible heavy. If it is too heavy, you may need to spin them thicker.If you fall off, get back on and try again.

Re:Singles - 2007/06/28 13:32I've read in a number of spinning books that the 'perfect' twist for a particular single is a twist for every crimp in the raw fiber.

Re:Singles - 2007/06/28 15:22Just got back from my LY/QS (Local Yarn/Quilt Shop). They have Noro Transitions, which I noticed is a single. I examined a skein, and found that some of the single does indeed try to twist... But now I do know what I'm looking for in my own work...
