Provided you wind your bobbins properly so that it doesn't get
untwisted or over twisted in the process, ie roll the bobbin into the
thread rather than wrapping the thread around the bobbin, the thread
will be OK to use for the next project, but only do that if the lengths
are sufficiently long not to have lots of joins/knots. Cotton is not
as elastic as wool and the curls don't set as much,

I have finished the lace for the hood and about to start a piece to go
around
the cloak. I still have a lot of thread left on some of the bobbins.
Can I mix
new thread with thread already on the bobbins or should I use new all
the way
through as it is going to be quite a length. I am asking because if
you use
wool that you have undone from a garment with new wool it has a
different
tension which is why sometimes it is best to wash used wool first. I
am asking
because I have wound a couple of bobbins with the old thread and
notice it is
very kinked. I hope you understand what I am trying to say I have just
re read
it and I think I have put it right.
