Navajo Plying (Chain Plying)Updated 6 months ago

This is a technique used to create a three-ply yarn from a single strand. It involves creating loops in the yarn and then plying them together, similar to making a crochet chain. Navajo plying is a great way to maintain color changes in hand-dyed yarn without losing their clarity in the final yarn.

Pro Tip: Navajo plying is perfect for spinning gradients or multicolor yarns, as it preserves the color transitions beautifully.
