PLY Magazine is running a Spinalong to coincide with the launch of their book, 51 Yarns to Spin Before You Cast Off. You can post your entries on their Facebook, Instagram and Ravelry groups with the hashtags #51yarns, #handspunyarn and #plymagazine. There's a different theme each week and you can find a list of the topics and other information here: https://plymagazine.com/ply-books/51-... The best part is that one winner each week gets a one-year subscription to PLY! I've decided to play along in video form as well by creating a video each week to correspond with that week's spinalong theme.

This week it's Chain Ply (also referred to as Navajo ply). Since I've already demonstrated how I chain ply on a wheel in the Self Striping week, this time I talk a bit more in depth about chain ply and show how to ply on the fly when using a spindle.

Here's a link to the Self-striping episode:    • How to Spin a Self-Striping Yarn (51 ...

Next week (w/c Monday 24th September) is Medium Wool. Hope to see you again then. In the meantime, happy spinning!
