If you thread the needle with the other end, it will tangle and twist more :wink: It has to do with the way the thread is manufactured. :D:D:D
Duh...I should have thought of that myself! Did I say I used to make beadweaving jewelry? I have tons of Silimide thread and I also have Gutermans that I've used for Kumihiko braiding. Alright now, I'm off to dig into my bead stash. My crafts are all over the condo. Beads from my bedroom to the dining room and threads visa versa! My son better watch out or he may be sleeping on the patio!!!
