I have a number of wooden spools of thread - some empty and some not - that I would like to donate to somebody who might use them for crafts or some other purpose. In Canada please.
Any ideas who might be interested?

The world is being buried under piles of useless plastics. Wouldn't it be sweet if Superior Threads would lead their industry in the use of biodegradable or compostable spools and wraps? A few people reusing a few spools just aren't going to help. How many tree toppers does one person need?

Once upon a time, and not all that long ago, thread was wound on wooden spools. Is there some serious reason why this can't happen again?

This should be a message to these companies to make the switch to an easily recyclable material or better yet compostable product! It's a cop out to suggest creative ways to reuse them.

I am a retired Family and Consumer Science Educator and still sub in my local middle school. The Technology department (Industrial Arts) make "Rube Goldberg" projects in their engineering unit. I give all my empty spools to them for the kids to use in pulleys etc,
