When you buy them, they look lovely
They get a bit tangled as you carefully take off the first metre or so
They then, while you aren't looking, transform themselves into a birds nest
My second purchase from the Works was a pack of these
And last night I spent a few hours watching TV and transforming my birds nests into these
While I was wrapping the thread around the dolly peg I pulled quite tight. This pulled the 'legs' together so the end of the thread could wedge in the end of the peg
(-:
I wind my threads on to the cards to keep them tidy, it is bizarre that no-one has come up with a better system isn't it?

ReplyDeleteVery fun way to solve the problem.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a good idea Benta.
ReplyDeleteI always take the tubes off first and carefully open up so the loops go round my hand, unwind what I need, then carefully tie a knot in the middle, which seems to preserve the loops too
