I am leaving the previous message below. It does not look like it went also to the list. Otherwise, excuse me.
Yes, the new 2 or 3 ply will be Z twist and if I understand correctly, you would be working entirely with with the new Z twist thread. So, just wind the bobbins the opposite way. (Think about what has happened in the past when you were daydreaming, or something, and wound a bobbin 'the wrong way' accidenetally. In this case, the 'wrong' way would become the 'right' way.)

The Bockens thread is S twist, so I would have to ply with a Z twist. There have been discussions about the problems with Z twist and lacemaking. Would that be a problem, or would the essential S twist of the plies deal with that? While I have a wheel, I have only spun Newfoundland hair, so I don't know. >Blanche wrote: >Regarding doubling and trebling threads: >I would get my spinning wheel out and ply the two or three together. > - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
