Plying techniques.

A while ago, in Freienfels, I was presented with a bit of modern, dyed wool in a top, in different hues from brownish with a tinge of orange to deep raspberry-red.

I spun it on the hand-spindle, and then I used the opportunity to try a new plying technique, somehow related to plying from both ends of a yarn cake. I'm going to give the technique another try during the next days, and I'm planning a proper report then. Until that time, though - here's a picture of the red yarn in plying progress.
