Well, I tried to ply one skein of my thinner yarn, and it turned out quite nice! I'm certainly not an expert at plying yet, but I'd say that the technique definitely improves the quality of the yarn. I'd like to continue to ply the rest of my yarns, but I think i'm going to wait to dye first so that I can ply two colors together and make something fancy. Not sure how well I can ply after the dying relaxes the twist a bit, but I guess I'll find out.
Here's a useful illustration of Andean Plying.
