This issue invites you to come back to thick, cozy yarns on purpose, with intention, skill, and a whole lot of confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"495\" data-end=\"845\"\u003eInside, you’ll explore multiple ways to build bulk: drafting thicker woolen and worsted yarns, plying finer yarns for added heft, and experimenting with other clever approaches to increase grist and diameter. There are thoughtful tips for staying consistent, avoiding unwanted variation, and keeping those big yarns looking just as good as they feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"847\" data-end=\"1276\"\u003eCurious which breeds shine when spun bulky? Beth Smith helps break it down. Deb Robson digs into fiber length and how it affects your results, while Michelle Boyd walks you through wheel setup and spills the truth about tension (spoiler: it matters, but maybe not how you think). You’ll also explore pre-drafting with a diz, plying up with tools like a heck, and how different drafts influence durability and wear in thick yarns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1278\" data-end=\"1415\"\u003eAnd yes — yarn size affects color, too. Jillian takes a closer look at how diameter changes the way color shows up in your finished yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1417\" data-end=\"1599\"\u003eOf course, no PLY issue would be complete without projects — and this one is packed with great ideas designed especially for fat, squishy yarns that beg to be knit, woven, and loved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1601\" data-end=\"1788\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eIf you’ve ever missed spinning big — or want to do it better than ever — this issue will have you reaching for your fluffiest fiber and settling in for some seriously satisfying spinning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54850089353559,"sku":"pas1788289925431","price":8.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/8340\/5911\/files\/13---the-bulky-issue-summer-2016_1.jpg?v=1788289930","url":"https:\/\/buypopclad.shop\/products\/13-the-bulky-issue-summer-2016","provider":"andraagni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
