I was taught to separate six stranded embroidery thread the following way: Unwind the skein along the floor, or down a staircase, or in my case, hang it over the second floor balcony in my family room. Hold one end of the skein loosely in the palm of your hand with the ends between your thumb and first finger. Take one single thread end and pull on it. You can wind this onto a card. The other threads tend to bunch up under your closed hand and occasionally you will need to straighten it out. Once you have done one thread you can continue to do as many as you need for your purposes.
