The Leclerc doubling stand says it is actually for 3 strands of yarn because one cone can go on the floor if it is mounted on the wall.

Yes, all the suggestions are good and I add a damp microfiber cloth wrapped around the exit of the stand with the doubled yarns, and another damp microfiber in my hand as I guide the threads onto the

Oh darn, I was hoping to use it for my stock of 140/2 silk. I’m wanting to use them tripled in a warp. -- Denise Drake

Denise, you could try Lone Star Loom Room, as she sells the Venne yarn. I must add a note! The device can only be used with the grey Venne cones. Marian
