about 30 - 40 cm ...If cotton is not enough, I was able to use the length of 5 cm :D:D				
			
		50 cm pour moi aussi				
			
		36 inches, folded in half for a loop start, I like a long piece of thread				
			
		I use the elbow method - I take a thread up to the length of my elbow in order to maximize how much my hand can extend.				
			
		I dont know the length.I grab the tail, pull it out 4 times (4 "sets" of thread from the skein), and clip one thread at a time (I use loop start).I then wrap the remaining (still attached to the skein) around the label to ensure it doesnt fall off.				
			
		About 90cm (length from shoulder to fingers x 2) because I do a loop start. With 45cm (half) I can pull the thread nice through the aida in one time :)
I think every one has their own method - just the way you like!!				
			
		Following this thread 				
			
		Very Nice!!				
			
		I use the same method as Lolgimante. It is the simpliest to keep your thread from getting tangled while working				
			
		About an arms length and then folded in half for a loop start.
