I was taught to separate six stranded embroidery thread the following way:
Unwind the skein along the floor, or down a staircase, or in my case, hang it
over the second floor balcony in my family room. Hold one end of the skein
loosely in the palm of your hand with the ends between your thumb
I use this method but only for the length of strand that I'm going to use -
because I only do bobbin lace with embroidery floss, linen and/or cotton
(never embroidery, I don't like it), I cut off a generous 2-armslength 6-ply
strand, isolate one ply and gentle tug it from the mass, allowing the
