Quite often, I use embroidery floss to make lace and need full-length
strands. (For example, my current piece is 2 feet x 1.5 feet, and
the next one will be bigger.)
I just heard from the owner of Tat's All, the seller of the skein
splitter. She's been moving and dealing with a terminally ill
husband, but is ready to do business again.

Not quite following; does there have to be one proper way to
separate embroidery floss?
To be honest, I always cut it first, then separate it - far easier
that way. You have to hold it up so that it can unwind as it pulls
apart. If you just yank on it you end up with a bunched tangle
halfway through.
Besides, what if you separate the whole skein, and then find out
that the number of strands you need per stitch changes?
