What are you using to comb? I get more twisting if I use a poodle brush (and I don't use one, except for 'stacked' parts like the head of the Sculpin). But combing with a little anti-spin flip (Doug Swisher named it 'The Aztec Flip') helps during the process. And the yarn will straighten in use- it's really only cosmetic. I only have a twist problem when using the Lightweight yarn from one company (LeeWards- and of course they were most available and in more colors! No doubt at all I gave you several lengths of theirs). That stuff is so tightly twisted; it just won't behave nicely. And it also needs quite a bit of 'combing' with my bodkin; sometimes as much as with the fine-tooth comb.
I don't know what to say about the Crest. Can you be more specific about your symptoms? Seems foolproof to me. I use quite a bit of force when wrapping the Body Yarn. With 10s and smaller I'm in danger of bending the hook. You are using just single plies in the Crest, I hope.?
