I am waiting for some of this thread to come but in the picture the skein is all twisted. I have seen skeins like this on the forum before and always wondered how they worked.
How do you store this? can it be put on a bobbin and do you use 2 starnds like DMC thread or does it come differently...or does it come with instructions for people like me.
My silks from The Thread Gatherer came that way, and I just untwisted it and wound it onto bobbins. I was wondering the same thing when they first came in the mail, but everyone here said it would be OK to put them on bobbins
It's normal 6-stranded cotton. Just let the thread untwist naturally from its skein, then wind it onto a bobbin in the usual fashion. You stitch using 2 strands just like with DMC.
Have fun with the thread Barb, they have some stunning colours!!
