Thank you for your ideas, I think I will try Tattingchic's idea first, as it sounds the most cat and dog proof, (plus the inevitable phone call at just the wrong moment!) and I'll tell you how I got on tomorrow.

I unwind the hank of floss until it is a big loop and take that loop of wound thread around a small pillow and wind to a floss card from there. I have better luck with that than I do from lying it on a pillow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569720420483740487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33577515.post-49657862638616526442008-09-07T13:10:00.000+02:002008-09-07T13:10:00.000+02:00Hi Snowy, Here is a link to my tutorial. http://f1...Hi Snowy, <BR/>Here is a link to my tutorial. http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/MLTDSPSRnxN_gCkIB880OSNRvonyCPRlRBEtU90iw4N6Go9exip_3Wb0zw7euDT0u5JQ5WDkmr2eegJ3M-QA9u1H7MgdjpPw/Skeins%20of%20Hand%20Dyed%20Threads <BR/>This is the method I use and I never end up with any knots.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968046487042009494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33577515.post-63889399372697160892008-09-07T03:05:00.000+02:002008-09-07T03:05:00.000+02:00Hi Snowy,Here is a link to my tutorial:http://lady...Hi Snowy,<BR/>Here is a link to my tutorial:<BR/>http://ladyshuttlemaker.blogspot.com/2008/03/unwinding-hand-dyed-tatting-threadmy.html<BR/><BR/>My first experience with unwinding a skein was also a nightmare.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!LadyShuttleMaker aka MadMadPotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15649649988687609909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33577515.post-66730585368802483172008-09-07T01:24:00.000+02:002008-09-07T01:24:00.000+02:00The best way is to have someone put it around thei...The best way is to have someone put it around their hands and you pull it from there and wind it on whatever you have chosen.
