Separate out two or three, six to 8 inch (15-20cm) strands of greyish, old straw colored, embroidery thread from the hank of thread. Pinch one end of the separated threads between your thumb and forefinger, and wrap the thread around this end while you continue to hold it between your fingers. This should create a flat circle of thread roughly the diameter of your nest.

Set this aside carefully to keep it in a roll.
