Well put, Clay! However, I was taught, many, many years ago, to wind
clockwise and I had never heard of Z-twist and S-twist threads. Maybe there
were Z-twist and S-twist threads, but we never heard of them. Hasn't made
any difference in my lacemaking the past 29 years 'course I am known to
change the hitch of a misbehaving bobbin..
Happy Lacemaking,

I know that there are two schools of thought on treating Z-twist and
S-twist threads differently. Some teachers insist that if you wind your
bobbins "properly", the twist is of no consequence. But I am a firm
believer (from my own experience with threads, relatively brief though it
is...) that if your threads usually behave, and suddenly you find yourself
with a "rogue thread", the chances are that you usually use an "S" twist
but have found yourself with a "Z" twist and are treating it the same.
(of visa-versa).
