Will Taylor's Handcrafted Lazy Kates
Will Taylor writes of his 3 ply tensioned Lazy Kate shown below: "Notice the four holes in the center piece are directly across from each other. Therefore, when threading, insert the threading hook in the hole opposite from the bobbin passing it all the way through to hook the single ply and pull it back through the hole. Now, holding the end of the ply to keep it taught, take the treading hook and reach down from the top of the center piece and pull the ply up and out. Repeat the process for all plys. The tension cord is used in the same manner as Scotch tension on a spinning wheel. Just place the cord in the grooves of the bobbin and tighten to the preferred tension (very little). This will keep the bobbins from spinning out of control and tangling the plys"
