... but my personal feeling would be that
it's easier to tell who's paired with whom if they're twisted together. On
a flat/cookie pillow, where I push pairs to the side, it's easier to keep my
pairs paired when I bring them back again.
On the other hand, it is often easier to know for sure that your bobbins are in the correct position if you use the open method. After all, if two bobbins are twisted, are they twisted because you left them that way or because you put them down in the wrong place or because one of them jumped over the other or ... When you're a beginner those bobbins can jump around a bit. But if your rule is "all the threads are untwisted and lie in order" you always know where they're supposed to be.
(having said that, I must admit I use open and closed interchangeably since I don't make lace using stitches but just twists and crosses)
