Hello Wendy and everyone If in doubt, replace your 'old' thread with that newly unwound from the main spool. If thread has been wrapped around a bobbin for awhile it will 'remember' which you will see as curls when you take the thread off. Now, having said that: if wound correctly*, I haven't found that this curling interferes with the finished lace particularly, so if you want to be frugal with the thread, go ahead and mix.
*Free advice about winding lace bobbins from the main spool of thread: make sure you aren't changing the twist in the thread - have the spool of thread [] and the lace bobbin || parallel to each other as you wind.
