OK, here's the question:
I work at a Renn Faire, and would like to be able to do some handsewing,
most likely linen shirts for my child. I don't want to have my plastic
spools of thread flashing about! How did Elizabethans work with thread? Was
it wound on spools (wooden, I assume)? Was it somehow put into hanks (like
modern-day floss)? How can I make my thread look "right"?
