If yes, then no, I do not believe that would set the twist. After I skeined my newly plied yarn, I plopped it in a sick full of luke warm water (I did put a drop of soap in there) and gently squeezed it so it would soak up plenty of water. I then rung just a bit of the excess water out, then let it drip dry (there was LOTS of dripping) while holding it down tight on the other end as shown in the pic. You know I'm no yarnie who likes to play by they rules, but I do believe there is just one way to set the twist. <BR/><BR/>I'm so happy to hear you plying, and cotton at that!Soulful Hueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004819279445311949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777500954921383921.post-6287286889260750782008-02-26T07:15:00.000-06:002008-02-26T07:15:00.000-06:00what good timing you have...
