I posted my drinking straw on the spindle idea on the Weekend Whirls blog. Rose came back with something she had seen at Nancy’s Knit Knacks. So much for original thought. I had tried to slide the yarn off the spindle shaft and onto a straw at some point, but found that the fine singles caught and pulled on the edge of the straw. Winding directly onto the straw eliminates this problem and also the additional step. Try both. See what you think. This video, although a sales pitch for the Spindler’s Kate, is interesting. Check it out.

That’s a well known problem in anesthesia when using a tube changer to swap out tubes in tracheas. If the tube changer (the spindle post) is smaller than the tube (the straw), there is a certain percentage of tubes that will hang up and not pass easily or at all. It becomes something upon which one does not depend on working, so we don’t do it if it is mission critical. I like your method better.
