The first spinning book I bought explained all about it. The second spinning book I bought explained even more all about it. The two of them together make a fabu reference. *g*
It's possible to crochet s-plied yarn, it's just a little more difficult and you don't want to use s-plied yarn for anything that requires much tensile strength (such as crocheted shopping bags). It works fine for hats, scarves, etc, so long as you can deal with the separation of the plies. It's not fun when you're a crochet n00b, but I got used to it; it's only a mild nuisance now.
