What is this thing called?
The clear plastic thing over the cream colored thread? This looks like a handy thing to have, but I don't know how to search for one.

It looks like the top snaps into the base and it holds your large spools.

I've never seen one of those, but the sale page says that particular spool is a monofilament (actually it says the thread is like "fishing line"), so I'm wondering if the spool just came that way? You know how monofilaments just fly off the spools and need a net to control them....Why don't you ask the seller?

Thread canister. I searched and here are some that I found - https://www.bondproducts.com/product...2-model-parts/. Pretty pricey.

Thanks for the replies! I wasn't interested in the thread, just the canister..I thought it might work well for metallic thread..but at those prices, they can keep it! LOL I never had much luck with the netting and metallics, but netting has worked for me with the machine embroidery threads.

Go to a local florest and ask for the netting they put over the flowers for shipping. I think they call it florests netting or something like that. It is delicate and stretchy to go over the flowers without damaging them. Most florests just throw it away and will be happy to give you some. It works wonderfully over the cones of threads that unravel easily.
Opps, edited. Sorry just read your last post and you said you don't have much luck with netting. Never mind.
