Try & Ply – Play with color, texture and touch
Curious to try something new? This little set is perfect if you’re just getting into spinning, or if you want to feel how different fibers behave. Try & Ply contains three little bundles of 25 g each – just enough to compare, explore and play with both structure and color.
I’ve selected three different colors so you can experiment not only with fiber preparation, but also with how color behaves in your yarn. Spin them separately, ply them together, or explore what happens when you combine two fiber types in one yarn. What changes when you pair high contrast colors versus soft blends? Even a simple barberpole yarn can look wildly different depending on your color choices. There’s no wrong way to spin – only ways that feel right to you.
Merino Top
The merino top in this set is soft, smooth and compact. The fibers are neatly aligned, with a micron count of about 23 and a staple length of 7.5 to 8 cm. This makes it great for fine yarns with crisp definition, but it does require a bit more control when drafting – especially if you’re still finding your rhythm. But if you take your time, you’ll be rewarded with a sleek, even yarn.
Corriedale Top
The corriedale top is a bit coarser (around 27 micron) and has a longer staple length of 8 to 12 cm. It’s grippier and more forgiving, which makes it a great fiber to practice with. Drafting feels smooth and predictable, giving you plenty of room to focus on your spinning technique.
Corriedale Roving
The corriedale roving is made from the same fiber, but carded instead of combed. The fibers are more jumbled and airy, which gives a different kind of movement in your yarn. Its staple length is similar to the merino top (7.5 to 8 cm), and even if you spin it with your usual short forward draw, you’ll feel a difference: your yarn will come out rounder, softer, and more open.
Which one is the easiest?
All three are beginner-friendly, but if you’d like a gentle progression:
- Corriedale top – lots of grip, easy to draft
- Corriedale roving – light and open, invites play
- Merino top – smooth and fine, needs a bit more control
“Some yarns only show up when you stop trying to make them perfect.”
