I've been told that the twist angle needs to be around 20-25 degrees (I
think?) to avoid biasing. This will allow enough twist
for the yarn to hold together, but still not give a knitter grief.
To test out what RB said (not that I doubted her, but I like to see for
myself), I spun a small
Maybe it would have been better to spin a singles at a more severe angle,
one that's guaranteed to cause biasing, and try the steam method, and then
