Episode 7.5 - Mini Tutorial!

Mini Tutorial!

I filmed a little tutorial to show you how I go about using up those leftover singles that are there when I haven't divided my roving or top up equally. It happens to everybody, and there are lots of different ways to ply up those singles. I prefer to andean ply these singles onto the end of my skein so that I'm not stuck with a giant skein, and a tiny mini skein. Hope you enjoy!
