number of people who pointed out how hard it is to get BL-length single
plies out of that 6-ply skein.
I just pulled one of the threads, and the entire skein coiled up on it, then
the coil dropped off and unwound, ready to straighten out and pull out
another thread.
I agree with Joy - that's how I separate floss, and I can't understand why people have so much trouble with it.
Maybe the people who have problems are trying to unwind it from the top or something? Try it the way Joy describes - it's much easier.
