Thanks, Scott. That is what I've tried to do but my hair flairs quite a bit more than yours does. When I wrap the thread toward the eye, I have to hold the hair with my right hand and wrap the thread over the shank with my left. The thread seems to slip back to the previous wrap and I get nowhere in a hurry. You may not have to hold the butt ends tightly like I do to advance the thread with the lack of flair your hair has.
Excellent SBS!
