My first foray into plyng khaitu(Andean weaving yarn) resulted in not enough twist so back on the spindle it went and I'm much happier with the resulting yarn. With more practice, I'll get better at judging whether or not I have enough twist for khaitu. It is not as much fun the second time around as an already plied ball is more squirrelly than a 2 ply plying ball. Towards the end of plying the first time around I discovered that laying the spindle in an opened TensiTamer while the spindle is either in bowl or on the carpet worked extremely well even when the spots where the yarn is wound on a narrow section like at the top which would cause trouble when held horizontally. I found that the spindle on carpet provided a nice amount of tension and then if I needed it to glide placing a bowl there worked well.
