Ideally get a friend with a second wheel or a ball winder to help, a swift to hold the skein, spin the other way onto both wheels, and you're back to singles. Seems like you'd probably want to run it through once to take out enough of the twist in the singles to be able to draft it thinner. The only difficulty I can think of is if it has fulled at all in setting the twist it'll be a pain when you re-spin. Sounds like it's worth snipping off a yard and seeing what happens. Good Luck!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861297918893925879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13750794.post-21995050373526095742008-01-23T12:59:00.000-05:002008-01-23T12:59:00.000-05:00Though I garden, I've got little experience with h...Though I garden, I've got little experience with herbs and none with arugula.
