yarn plies and how they work.

I've had yard on the brain today and made several very impractical balls of cable cotton. They aren't at all efficient or practical, but they look so good. I love cable cotton. Love. Love. Love. Today I did a little more research into how it's made, as well as other ply twisting techniques.

I found a great explanation of yarn twists on knitty. Whether you're a yarn fiend or a yarn novice, it's a worthwhile read.
