My singles are spun so tightly that as warp, they would twist back
on themselves during the warping process and as weft, would be
difficult to pull through the shed. Seems like someone mentioned that
the twisting of 2 ply during card turning might actually untwist
yarn. I always spin singles clockwise and ply counterclockwise, then
disregard those directions when card weaving. My brain couldn't
handle that.
Looking forward to seeing your test pieces,

Hi,
I am not a spinner and had a question for spinning card weavers for some time.
It must be possible to use the twist of the yarn to create a
pattern. Assume you thread one card with S-spun yarn, the next card
with Z-spun yarn,
thread them in the same direction, and turn all cards the same way.
Or, thread 2 holes of all cards with S-spun yarn, 2 with Z-spun
yarn, and set the cards up for (Egyptian) diagonals. The patterns
will be subtle but what is wrong with that?
I have woven several monochromatic pieces where the twist of the
cards created the pattern. It works really well especially if your
yarn has a lot of sheen and twist. But will it work as well if we
drop down one level?
Has anybody tried this? Which will work better, singles or plied yarn?
