Please please experienced switchers, help! I have a 20yd skein of Gloriana luminescence100/3 silk that I want to use to start my tree of stitches.
BUT - I have never seen a skein like this - I am used to the DMC/Anchor skeins only. This is tiny, looped through a card, twisted and then it looks like two ends of it are tied together at the end! What do I do? I am terrified to cut it anywhere in case I get it wrong - oh, and to add to the confusion, it is variegated (the colour is Ada's rainbow).
I have poor connection here, so cannot get to YouTube at the moment, so if anyone can point me at either a good written guide, or some pictures I would be extremely grateful!
Thanks from holiday!

Bothy cut thru North Pole house
Several cards
Too scared to start: HAEDs: world traveler bookshelf mini; in the eye of the beholder
A returning stitcher, loving how stitching gives me a quiet mind.

The answer is - you don't separate it, you use it as it comes off the skein . Undo the knot to pull it off the card and untwist the skein and cut a length suitable for your stitching - most importantly enjoy, as it is gorgeous!

No problems . It is a very fine thread, as it's variegated it would be very difficult to use 2 strands, but should be lovely for some speciality stitches .
