........but DON'T unwrap your roll of twine & end up with a tangled mess.

Just stick your finger in the top!

[saddad]

It still collapses into a tangled mess after you've used half of it Tim!
 :-\

[Palustris]

Put it in a jar with a lid, in which you have drilled a hole. feed the string through the lid and bingo, no tangles, no collapse and dry string!

Im drilling a hole in a tin lid as we speak   ;D

[Robert_Brenchley]

You can use a nail, but hammer from the underside of the lid, so any sharp edges go our and don't affect the string.

Or alternatively, buy it already in a tin with a cutter built in.

I think we got ours from Poundland.

Illy coffee cans are very good as they have a plastic lid .Coffees not bad either.

You are just showing off that you like the best coffee in the world  :P :P :P :P :P

[markfield rover]

Yes, but with a free twine dispenser, win,win.

My expensive wrapping is waterproof, Eric!

We do have a hand painted tin with a hole in the top but that's been 'borrowed'.

I supplement the plastic container yours is in Tim by sticking it tightly in a plastic bag with the end of the twine sticking out and just put a twist tie or a piece of insulation tape around the neck of the bag to keep it closed.

Glass jars and me don't go together............I'm too clumsy..........soft ball is more my game ;D

[tim]

Forgot to say that I can't fit a tin in my pocket.

[Tee Gee]

I see you have got abreast of things Tim  ::) ;D

Nice one!
