If you’ve ever wondered whether your “overtwisted” singles have potential, the answer is a resounding yes! These singles are not “balanced”—instead, they have active twist that can produce marvelous effects in knitted fabrics.

Learn how Amy Tyler uses this extra energy in knitted fabrics, then try it yourself with six different stitch patterns.

About: Amy Tyler spins and plays with both energized and balanced yarns. She shares her enthusiasm for spinning yarns in workshops around the country. You can find out more about her fiber work and teaching on her website and blog: www.stonesockfibers.com
