Do you know what they are called.

Thread nets:
These are the smaller ones (I think) for spools here:

These are for cones:

(Or maybe they just stretch a lot - I've only used mine on spools.)
They're available all over, made by a different companies.
I've seen them in chain stores as well.

I knw someone who uses the cloth tubes (can't remember what they are called) that you can get as a medical supply. She cuts them to the size she needs and because they stretch they fit over the spools nicely. She says it is much less expensive and she thinks it works better.

I've had cut flowers that came with thread nets on them (years ago; don't get many cut flowers these days!). Seems to me they are used on the more unusual (expensive?) exotic flowers to hold them together against damage until they get home. I'm not a flower geek, so I find it surprising a flower shop would have never seen them.

I believe thimblebug had never seen one in lobby area. Anyway I had never heard of thread socks until today. Do they interfere with speed of spool unwinding? Do you have to adjust tensions?
