Separate 6 Strands of Embroidery Floss - the ENTIRE SKEIN all at once!

[@WhoamayeHobbes]

Oh my goodness this is pure genius. Will definitely be adding this to my embroidery repertoire for so very many things!

[@RedwoodsAndRain]

Can’t wait to try this! I used to have a lot of fishing tackle, but I’m sure it was all given away years ago so Walmart it is. Thank you for sharing! Sally in Northern California 😁😷

Thank you for posting this, it's brilliant!

That is so smart 😍

[@janisbrock5749]

I have embroidered for years and it’s not a big deal to separate floss into “arm lengths”, but I’m working on my first punch needle project and your method is absolutely perfect for separating a skein at a time!! I am so lucky to have found this video. I have looked at many, many videos and this method is by far the most expedient! Even though I don’t have a tackle box I was able to locate spinners at good ‘ol Walmart! Thank you so much!

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

You're welcome. Happy punching!

[@sandeematis4164]

Amy, you are brilliant! I tried this and it works great. It got a little tangled a couple of feet before the end so I just cut the floss at that point. This is such a time saver and especially helpful if you want to split the whole skein without cutting it in pieces. Thank you for sharing.

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

You're welcome. I am glad to hear you found it helpful!

[@caroltown3162]

Thank you Amy! I can only punch with 3 strand due to multiple hand surgeries. It wastes so much time to constantly separate floss & thread the needle. I really needed this😊!

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

I am glad you found it helpful! The only problem I have with it is when the cat notices me :)

Awesome trick thank you!!

Happy to help!

[@pamelagarrant]

I’m definitely going to try this. It would be so much nicer to rethread less often. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

I am glad it is helpful for you!

[@creativepaperwhims5416]

Awesome idea. Thanks for sharing it!

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

You're welcome!

[@Karelife]

I’m so glad I found your video. Too bad it was after I ended up with a knotted mess trying to separate 1 strand.

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

It is amazing how hard it is to get that floss untangled once you get knots! No doubt next time will go better!

[@Karelife]

@@DoodleDogPrimitives took me all night to get the knot out. I saved the skein.

[@attedragon]

Well that is a useful tip! thank you!

How to punch needle with acrylic yarn

[@craftylady3129]

Looks good but the video to see how it was done was hard to see.

[@cathieh.7225]

Sorry I'm missing something, why would you want to do this? Genuine question.

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

Great question! For punch needle, you can punch with a variety of threads. Many of us punchers (me included) like to use 3 strands of embroidery floss. It gives a bit of a fluffier appearance kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZDKhoFna5h4rKMsi=JYeu0_7l43D6YrWt Separating the entire strand all at once into two separate groups of 3 strands allows us to punch more and re-thread less.

[@ccl5141]

Great idea but, it doesn't work if you have a cat! Little bugger thought I was playing a game with her.

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

My cat likes to sit and wait until the very end of the string comes by her. Then she attacks!
