Andean Plyer

Love the no-waste technique of Andean plying?

I do, but the traditional winding method has it's drawbacks--you can't stop once you start, and it's really hard to wind loose enough to keep from cutting off your circulation. That's why my Dad and I have come up with the Andean Plyer. Simple and portable, now plying is easy to do whenever, and wherever, I want :-)


Original Plyer (Plain)


A Plain Plyer in use.

Each Andean Plyer is individually handmade to be lightweight yet durable. Two coats of urethane allow you to mist your singles which will temporarily set the twist for more trouble-free plying. The screw assembly on the handle provides an easy and adjustable way to securely hold the yarn ends. The Plyer eliminates sore, cramped fingers and is easily set aside for work on the go.
