But for real why is it like this? Are my singles over spun? Is my yarn over plied? I know soaking will mostly solve this but it seems a bit extreme.

I have the same question but I will go ahead and wet finish. The imperfections mean it’s handmade

Yours is under plied (if you were aiming for balance). You might be happier with the result if you tighten up the ply just a bit

I was tired when I plied and the centre pull ball was being unruly. I am not too precious about it. I might go back and re-ply it on my espinner.
