giggle-giggle ;-) This about like my ''bobbin tree".....only I use wide-mouth mason jar....hang the wound pair over mouth edge...one inside and one outside. Never saw a reason to change. In fact, when bobbins wound, I drop the thread in the jar, screw on the top and keep it clean and handy. BarbE oh, it is a quart size jar
