Never would have occured to me to try that! Regarding the different feel of the wool - wool varies tremendously from breed to breed (obviously); from individual sheep to sheep; and even from year to year for the same sheep. Diet, climate, overall health, age etc all factor in to how the wool truns out. In other words, if you find some wool you really like buy it all right then! :-) I was interested in bowerbird’s description of running the singles through the wheel twice during Navaho-plying - once to do the chains, and once to add twist.
