Mostly this is because the machine can handle 24 spools at a time but 6mm rope requires up to 54 spools. Besides the capacity issues of the machine, 24 full sized spools at 11lbs each is a lot to deal with. So smaller spools will need to be used with multiple threads per spool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/startup.twistedjute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-20210502_161158-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/startup.twistedjute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-20210502_161158-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/startup.twistedjute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-20210502_161158-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/startup.twistedjute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-20210502_161158-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/startup.twistedjute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-20210502_161158-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/startup.twistedjute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-20210502_161158-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/startup.twistedjute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-20210502_161158-1200x2133.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/startup.twistedjute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-20210502_161158-scaled.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 85vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is that the tubes don&#8217;t have flanges which limits how much yarn they can hold and creates a situation where the yarn can slip off the spool and get tangled on the spindle.
