Abstract
A flexible strand holder is formed by an elongated base having a pair of arms projecting laterally from respective end portions of the base. Cooperating arms of each pair of arms project laterally from the base in diverging relation such that a flexible strand wound around the cooperating arms at each side of the base, normally retain the strand thereon when the base is disposed in an upright position, but which allows the strand to unwind by gravity when the base is supported with its longitudinal axis horizontal. When the flexible strand unwinds from the arms at one side of the base the unwinding action continues when the holder is angularly rotated 180.degree. about its longitudinal axis in a direction releasing the cross-over winding of the strand from one side of the holder to the other.
