I’ve been posting some daily stitching videos on my YouTube channel since 1st January.
I won’t post a daily stitching video every day, mainly because I can’t be available 365 days a year, but also because sometimes I just want to stitch quietly on my own without explaining anything. There might be a video tutorial maybe once or twice a week. Ish.
But as a result of the videos, a few people were asking where they can buy the spools I store my thread on.
You probably could buy them somewhere, or you could use sections of drinking straws, but it’s easier and cheaper to make them yourself as I do.
There’s a video tutorial for that here
I hope you’re enjoying your daily stitching, if you’re embarking on a new year-long adventure. The whole huge blank canvas can look quite daunting at this time of year, but time flies and the days soon fill up if you just focus on one day at a time. Good advice for life too, I guess.
And so we continue.

I use popsicle sticks to wind my threads. I found packages of them in a Dollar Store in their craft section. I love your method also.
an excellent idea. I’ve seen people use wooden clothes pegs too. We’re a creative bunch 🙂
