This tutorial demonstrates 4 different ways to separate your embroidery floss. In this demonstration I am using DMC floss skeins that have been pre-wrapped on plastic bobbins. Although I do not always store my thread this way, it is a great method for floss storage and keeping your floss compact.
Method 1. - Separate your floss from the middle // this is by far my favorite method as I hardly get knots when mindful about pulling gently. As demonstrated, separate thread into desired amount and simply start pulling apart.
Method 2. - Pull 1 strand at a time // I also tend to default to this method when I’m only needing 1 strand. Once you get this technique down, it’s pretty much fool proof. The trick is figuring out the right amount of pressure or ‘pinch’. Use your dominant hand to hold the larger count of strands and your non-dominant to pinch the solo strand.
Method 3. - Traditionally, I feel like the majority of us were taught this way or picked up this method as a beginner (maybe as a bad habit). Although there is nothing wrong with this method, it is probably going to produce more knots for you in the long run compared to the others. Regardless, if you take your time when pulling apart your floss, this could suit you as preference.
Method 4. - One at a time approach (for multiple strands) // I utilize this method when I only need 1-3 strands. I pull each strand individually and can accomplish end result in the same amount of time if would take me to use method 3.
