If I hold up a skein of homespun and it twists a bit to the left am I
over plying or under plying? I think I am over plying a bit?
The answer depends on what direction you're spinning. If you spin z and
ply s there'd be a different set of parameters than if you do it the
other way around (and right now I haven't yet had my morning coffee so I
can't remember which way is which <g>).
But if the yarn has been spun, plyed and washed, then dried without
weighting, a *perfectly* balanced yarn will not twist in either direction.
Personally speaking, I don't let a <bit> of twist bother me too much,
since I'm not perfect either;), but a lot of twist would have me looking
more closely at the yarn to find out whether it's too loose or too tight.
