So, while I’m knitting my first socks with my 3-ply hand-spun, it keeps getting more tightly spun, so much so that I feel like I have to untwist the extra almost every round. They are Z-spun singles and S- plied. Would spinning the singles S and plying Z fix this, or would I then have it too loose after a while? I’m a right- handed knitter. I guess that will be an experiment for another day,😂

Are you pulling from the center of a center pull ball? If so, try pulling from the outside. One way puts more ply into the yarn the other takes a bit out.Linda
