Taller Spools

Here is a simple way to make your thread spindles/spool pins taller. Find some heavy duty clear drinking straws and slid then right over your spindle and it will fit tight enough to stay on. It will worked great. You can cut them to the height you want. Use this idea to make any spindle taller. When needed. The straws come in different sizes, so there is a straw that will fit any spindle (I think). The clear ones are nice, but you could use any colored one if you would like.

Those are giant drinking straws!
