Okay question! So when you all are doing alpha bracelets, I know most people don't cut the background thread a certain length they say they put it on a bobbin or just keep in in the skein form. I keep in in the skein form but I find out it starts to become knotted up and all that and it is becoming a problem for me. So I want to know how do you guys do it? I heard some people use bobbins? What are those. Are they the paper bobbins. If so I have used those and they can become quite annoying? Any other options?

Well, I really don't know...

lol alright! ;)

i personally use bobbins. i had some i cut out of cardboard and i just wrap the string on it. the paper ones if i'm thinking of the right ones are too flimsy and i can see how they'd be a hassle. i like to unravel the bobbin 5-8 inches and then "lock" the string in place on the cut outs and work with that then when it gets too short i give myself more, that way the bobbin doesn't unravel. that's the way i do it anyways...

alright thanks for the advice!

what are bobbins?????

bobbins are little squares of cardboard or plastic that you wrap your string around. You can find them pretty cheap at craft stores. I use them, and they work out fine but you shouldnt really use paper ones for when ur doing an alpha because you have to pull the string hard and the bobbins can rip. however, i do store my string on paper bobbins.

Ok....Thanx a lot!!!!! :D

ya welcome! :)
