Winding quills for linen is better than plastic or wood bobbins. The cardboard or paper quills will exert enough drag on the unwinding yarn that this springing off tendency is greatly lessened. Also, with lots of practice and use of tension, it is possible to have only 1 in 20-30 quills behave this way. When it does,it is time to wind more carefully. Dampening enough quills for long yardage is impractical.
