Oh I had a good time plying this merino wool!! I wrapped the singles nostepinne style when I spun them, which made lovely center pull balls. For plying, though, I chose a top whorl spindle because it would hold more. I can also set the top whorl spinning by rolling it along my outer thigh, which makes it go much faster than flicking. I had just read an article about Romans depicted spinning in art, where the leg was raised at an angle to roll the spindle. Aha! If I timed it right, I could raise my leg on the forward step, roll the spindle, and continue the step and only have a little hitch in my stride. (It is sad that rural women in Italy were forbidden to spin and walk because it was considered a bad omen.) I also pushed how long I could ply before I had to wrap. I figured out that I can hold my left arm out about head high and let the spindle hang, then when the twist was where I wanted it, swing the spindle up and catch it in my right hand. I have to watch the hubris, though, because if I get too cocky a strand breaks and I spend the next five minutes of my walk splicing the yarn back together. Still, it was not only an enjoyable walk, it was longer because I wanted to finish the second ball.
