Here is my video where I demonstrate how I ply on the fly on a Turkish spindle.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y_JOAiXBYV8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h1>The Turkish spindle<\/h1>\n<p>I spin a lot on suspended spindles <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/back-in-town\/\">in the summer<\/a>, especially my Turkish models. They are perfect for spinning when walking. They don&#8217;t take up much room, neither for transport nor for the actual spinning. But sometimes I find spinning on a suspended spindle a bit tedious, so I wanted to learn how to ply on the fly. I have plied a lot on the fly, but so far only on <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/new-video-ply-on-the-fly-on-a-supported-spindle\/\">supported spindles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h1>Ply on the fly on a Turkish spindle<\/h1>\n<p>When you ply on the fly you spin a section first. Then you chain-ply that section before you spin the next section. Plying on the fly is a great technique to get a finished yarn without winding the whole cop off the spindle. Well, you do actually wind it all off, but in smaller and more manageable sections. It gives the spinner variation between spinning and plying and you take advantage of the fact that the single is fresh when you ply it. This means that I always want to finish after a plied section and I don&#8217;t leave a spun cop on the shaft.<\/p>\n<h2>Spinning<\/h2>\n<p>For regular spinning on a Turkish spindle you wind the yarn onto the wings. When you ply on the fly you wind the single onto the shaft instead, just like you would on a regular suspended spindle (or the temporary cop of a supported spindle). Then, after you have plied the single, you wind the plied yarn onto the wings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1684\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1684\" style=\"width: 705px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1684\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/ply-on-the-fly-on-a-turkish-spindle\/img_3689\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3689.jpg?fit=705%2C704&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"705,704\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_3689\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3689.jpg?fit=525%2C524&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1684 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3689.jpg?resize=525%2C524&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A person spinning on a spindle with crossed wings\" width=\"525\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3689.jpg?w=705&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3689.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3689.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3689.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1684\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wind your single around the shaft of the spindle. Turkish spindle \u00a0from <a href=\"https:\/\/yarntools.com\">Jenkins yarn tools<\/a> (Lark model).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When I started practicing plying on the fly the spindle kept dropping to the ground when I was spinning. I got very frustrated because I couldn&#8217;t figure out why. And because I was walking at the time. I couldn&#8217;t see any difference from regular Turkish spindle spinning. But then I realized that I wound the yarn on differently. Winding the single around the wings helps securing the yarn. So when I figured this out, I wound the yarn around the shaft for plying on the fly, <em>and then under one of the wings<\/em> before securing it with a half hitch. And, voil\u00e1, no more dropping.<\/p>\n<h2>Transferring the single<\/h2>\n<p>When you have spun your desired length of single, you transfer it to your fiber hand with the butterflying technique \u2013 you pick up the yarn in a figure eight with your thumb and pinkie, until you have no more single. This can be done against your belly. It will be more efficient if you do it against a hard surface (my belly isn&#8217;t) like a spinning bowl or a table. If this is your start of the yarn, make a loop. If you have already plied a section, you pick up the loop from its parking place on one of the wings. You now have all the freshly spun single on the thumb and pinkie of your fiber hand.<\/p>\n<p>If you have already plied a section, secure the plied end on the shaft with a half hitch (or through the hook if that is how your spindle is constructed).<\/p>\n<h2>Chain plying<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Pick up the loop with your spindle hand index finger. <em>Do not let go of the loop.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Pull your single through the loop with your spindle hand thumb, <em>keeping the index finger in the original loop<\/em>. Make sure you keep all the strands tense.<\/li>\n<li>Pick up the new loop from the spindle hand thumb onto your fiber hand middle finger and pull the loop out. This is done by letting go of one strand of yarn at a time from your butterfly. You now have three strands of yarn. Keep these taut. <em>Keep your index finger in the original loop.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>When you are happy with the length of the section, you can pull your index finger out of the original loop and let the spindle twist the yarn into balance.<\/li>\n<li>Wind the plied yarn onto the wings of the spindle \u2013 slow and fancy or fast and efficient, your choice. Make a half hitch on the shaft (or put the yarn in the hook) and start the next chain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you are out of singles, secure the loop on one of the wings and start spinning the next section.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1687\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1687\" style=\"width: 958px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1687\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/ply-on-the-fly-on-a-turkish-spindle\/img_3691\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3691.jpg?fit=958%2C665&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"958,665\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_3691\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3691.jpg?fit=525%2C364&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1687 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3691.jpg?resize=525%2C364&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A person plying on a Turkish spindle\" width=\"525\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3691.jpg?w=958&amp;ssl=1 958w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3691.jpg?resize=300%2C208&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3691.jpg?resize=768%2C533&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Keep the strands taut and keep the index finger in the original loop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h1>The location<\/h1>\n<p>Since I started plying on the fly in Austria, I decided to make the video there as well. We stayed where we alway stay, at a B&amp;B in the town of Mondsee in Salzkammergut. The B&amp;B is an old convent from the 15th and 16th centuries. The owners also own a big meadow that surrounds the B&amp;B. The town is quite crowded with houses nearly on top of each other, but with the meadow you get a spectacular and clutter free view from the B&amp;B over the basilica and the surrounding mountains. The meadow is the place I chose for this video.
