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 "Self-Striping" and I'm spinning up the first of two identical braids to show how different the same fibre can look using chain plying and fractal spinning (fractal will come in September). By popular demand, I also bring my co-hosts Saffy and Dexter back for some feline entertainment.

Next week's spinalong topic (starting Monday 28th May) is "Bast". Hope to see you again then!
