Hello Wendy,
I don't think there is any need to worry about 'mixing' the thread. I presume you will be using the same make, colour and weight of thread. You've noticed that the bit you unwound was kinked, but it wouldn't have seemed kinked if you'd carried on the same piece of lace. I often continue to use bobbins that are already wound, as long as I need the same thread. If there is a long length of thread, I wind off about half on to an empty bobbin, make the hitch and use the pair as any normal pair. When all the 'new' pairs begin to run out, I join on any bobbins that weren't long enough to make a pair in the first place. It's not that I'm mean with thread (yes I am!) but I detest winding bobbins. Added to that, my time is precious so I like to have as much as I can actually making the lace. The kinks will not be apparent in the finished lace if you have good tension.
