I guess the question is how "old" do you mean by "old"?

I don't see how putting thread in the frig/freezer would revitalize it ... though I have no facts on this.

One thing I've been told before is to take a length of the thread off the spool, and just pull on it ... if it breaks too easily then it's probably too "old"! If you're wondering how it should be ... try breaking some relatively new thread for comparison.

There was a couple of threads this week, with ideas on what to do with old spools. I'm guessing that these are probably wooden spools?
