the set I put up for my friend when she was making masks - and a couple extra to bulk it out

@narayani you can always rely on a circle ;-)

@30pics4jackiesdiamond you've got a career in filamentology!

Ha ha I can date my cotton reels too. My Mum gave me a box of coloured cottons when I first got married and 52 years later I still have some of them. I guess I don't sew too often.

Actually that’s a great idea..maybe I’ll copy off you.

@anniesue nope!! Life's too short to thread a needle!!!
