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.
