Z and S Twist

The twist switch sets the direction of the twist added to the yarn as

it is spun or plied. Usually spinners use Z for spinning singles and S

for plying. To do this, set the twist switch into Z position and make

your singles. When you're ready to ply, change the speed to zero or

turn off the motor, then set the twist switch into S position. You can

only reverse twist direction when the motor is not running.

Twist must go in the opposite direction when you're plying. If you

don't change the twist direction, your plied yarn will not form

correctly. Your EEW includes a spin card that shows how to

determine if the yarn has Z or S twist.

The twist switch can stop/start your spinning. It only reverses the

direction if you set your EEW's speed to zero using the speed dial or

the foot switch.
