Achim, Neat video, very easy to understand.
Thank you!
The first set you show the thread being wound anti-clockwise
then the next set "for cotton" shows the thread being wound
clockwise. Why the difference?
Here's a very good explanation:

So saying "Clockwise for Cotton" in my video is not quite correct,
but I thought it should suffice for someone only getting started,
since most cotton threads in use today have a Z-twist. I'm usually
winding bobbins anti-clockwise because I started with Bockens linnen
thread which has an S-twist - and also because it just comes easier
for me. When I used relatively thick cotton thread lately, I forgot
to change the direction and it tended to loose it's twist, so maybe I
had better wound that clockwise. Not sure if it really makes a lot of
difference, though.
Best, Achim.
