Editing Plying (section)

=== Center-pull ball plying ===
Center-pull ball plying results in yarn similar in appearance to regular plying. However, it doesn’t require a lazy kate or multiple bobbins. It requires a single bobbin and a center-pull ball winder or a nostepinne to create the center-pull ball that is plied with.

Once the ball is wound, the single from both the center and outside are held together, in a similar manner to the regular plying method, then twisted together. This results in a two-ply yarn.

Center-pull ball plying results in one single being more tightly wound than the other, causing a fluffier and looser texture when knit, compared to the regular plying method.<ref>{{Cite web |last=JillianEve |date=2021-07-26 |title=Does plying from a center pull ball change your twist? — A yarn spinning experiment! |url=https://jillianeve.com/does-plying-from-a-center-pull-ball-change-your-twist-a-yarn-spinning-experiment/ |access-date=2024-01-13 |website=Jillian Eve |language=en-US}}</ref>
