Those few turns make the next layer (going down the neck and "neat" again) *look* ugly, but they seem to let me "go over the mined ground lightly". Don't know *why*, so don't ask me :)""
By spiraling up [or down] when winding the thread, the spirals prevent the next layer of tightly wound thread from imbedding itself in the previous layer which results in the thread being "buried" and trouble for all. I have found that the spiral layer does loosen the tension of the thread, however, and one must watch that it doesn't loosen the hitch as well. Still, winding this way makes unwinding much easier.
