I'm probably one of the least experience tyers on her but I can tell you, there can be a big difference in thread from spool to spool. I recently purchased three spools of metallic thread in gold, silver and copper. The silver and gold 'behaved' just as expected. When I loosed the copper from the 'keeper' about four feet of it flew off like line from a spinning reel that was spooled on backwards. As long as I 'straighten' it and wind it back on it's fine. When I get to the end we get to do it all over again. I assume it got twisted as it went on the spool.
Why's this stuff always happen to me?
