Yes, but the vintage spools come on wooden ones - and that's mostly where they come from nowadays (you are correct - hardly any of the thread manufacturers nowadays put them on wooden spools)... people sell wooden spools by the lots on EBay not only for crafting purposes but because sometimes some of them are worth some serious money... just watch Antiques Roadshow. If you find one of those and sell it, man are you gonna be able to deck out your sewing room that's for sure! I actually like the classic wooden spools... something about them just seems more, I don't know... it just connects with sewing and the olden days more to me. I guess to summarize, it reminds me of simpler times...

Explosive blessings, abundance and inspiration to you all!
