Suncokret Threads
Suncokret threads are a gorgeous silky thick thread that comes to you in a twist that will explode the minute you carefully remove your first length to stitch with.
There are several solutions to this. You could choose to use the charming animal bobbins from Craft Yourself Silly or you could plait them as i show below.
interested? check out the Craft yourself Silly Site or Hochanda for the threads and below for the plait.
How To
Begin by pushing the paper seal to loop end of your Suncokret twist, leaving the the other end of the twist (the ends) free to work on.
Carefully cut the threads to create and end of ends
I recommend that you have a second person hold the loop end of the twist while you plait it loosely.
The best thing to use to secure the plait is a hair tie, they are elasticated but covered in a thread so they 'stick' to the Suncokret and don't slide off...I don't recommend an elastic band as they can damage the threads. Don't twist the tie too tightly just enough that it wont move when you give it a gentle tug.
Store Flat.
To remove a thread, choose a loop at the top of the plait and gently pull it loose, straightening the plait as you go to move the ends up the plait..Do not be tempted to rush this as the first few will need some teasing to release from the plait..Gentle tugs and straightening will give you a nice length of thread to stitch with.
Happy Sewing and i hope this helps with your Suncokret Storage.
