I ignored the laundry and the kitchen yesterday in favour of a lot of time on YouTube and a lot of staring at my spinning wheel, and ultimately decided to play around with where the drive band goes.
Progress:
I went from the super huge not-remotely twisted fiber on the right to the intensely thin and twisty stuff on the left.
I did say it was twisty.
Having clarified the problem, I got all that mess off the bobbin, made a few more adjustments to the tension, and started again.
Better, yes?
Well, maybe not perfect yet. But getting there!

Yes- better! You're getting the hang of it! Woohoo!!!
btw- the single should be twisty, in fact, if you loosen the tension on the yarn itself, it should curl back up on itself like a worm. You need that twist so that when you ply it, the two strands hold together.
