A Word From the Author:

"Plying is amazing, what it does; all the different things it can do. It’s the basis of many, many textiles. And I think we’ll talk a bit about why you would ply and why you would not. One of the interesting things about plying is that it makes a yarn that is stable, relaxed and calm." — Judith MacKenzie
