The Pella thread turned out to be quite interesting. I am very
pleased that it is so uniform & smooth compared to other linen threads I
have used. Is this a characteristic of the twist, the fiber, the plies
or some combination thereof? Whatever their process, I found it easier
to tension & the ivory color is quite pretty once you realize it is not
white-white. The only downside is a "springlike" characteristic & I've
had a few backlash/tangling incidents that I would like to express in
Finnish! When I wound the bobbins, I cut individual lengths rather than
wind from the spool. Would windi!
ng from the spool help maintain thread control? Suggestions are welcome.

I love Pella thread for working Finish patterns.
I always wind my bobbins from the spool. I have very few problems with
twists and curls doing it this way. When I wind the second bobbin of the
pair I do what you do and yes I get the twists and curls.
The trouble with Pella is that it is hard to get, I usually import from
Holly van Scriver since there are no Aussie suppliers for this thread.
