Help- Can't find end of thread

[Enhydra]

Hello All,

I am starting a project with size 10 thread and have never used this type of thread/spool. I am looking for the end of the thread and can't find it!!!

 

I am using Coats Aunt Lydia's Classic Crochet Thread, Size 10, 1000 yards.

 

Can anyone help me figure out where to look for the end? I have looked along the outside and inside too.

 

Thanks.

All,

I just found the end!! It was very very hard to find where the thread curved into the other strands... 1/3 of the way from the end towards the center side and very slightly tucked under.

Thanks!

I'm sure one of the experienced ones here will have a trick for this but I look at the top of the spool to find out which wrap is the outer most one and give it a gentle pull. This usually works.... Sometimes if you find this outer one and then have a look around the middle of the ball near it the end is tucked in behind - you'll see one thread going off at a different angle to the others and that'll be your end one.

 

Hope that helps!! Oh, and Welcome to the 'ville!!!

Moggy,

 

Thanks for your reply and thank you for the welcome. I look forward to learning and posting my own creations. I completed the small cross that I created with the thread (for my nephew's baptism) and hope to get photographs and post them soon.
