Another thought, I was taught to half hitch onto the neck of the bobbin to stop it from unwinding (I think because the person who took the time to help me with unwinding bobbins was a great Honiton lacer) however, when I get rogue bobbins I double hitch onto the head which seems to work. Now there's a thought. Also, for slippery threads, I often half hitch them onto the neck before winding to stop them sliding around on the neck when I'm working. L Kind Regards

Or has it and very slippery varnish on the head/neck? Both of these could cause slipping as well.
