ABSTRACT:
A reusable take-apart washable spool includes a first flange having a first flange wall with inner and outer opposite sides. The inner side of the first flange wall is convex. The spool has a second flange having a second flange wall. The second flange wall has inner and outer opposite sides. The second flange wall inner side is convex. A barrel having a loading surface connects the first flange and the second flange so that the first flange inner side faces the second flange inner side. The barrel is removably connected to each of the first flange and second flange. A kit for assembling a reusable take-apart spool includes a pair of flanges and a barrel. The barrel has a first end that is constructed and arranged to be removably connected to a hub on one of the flanges. The barrel has a second end that is constructed and arranged to be removably connected to a hub on the other of the flanges. A method of using a spool includes orienting a projection arrangement of a first end of a barrel into a recess arrangement of a hub of a first flange; orienting a first cord through the projection arrangement and recess arrangement to lock the first flange to the barrel; orienting a projection arrangement of a second end of the barrel into a recess arrangement of a hub of a second flange; orienting a second cord through the projection arrangement of the second end of the barrel and recess arrangement of the second flange to lock the second flange to the barrel; and winding material onto the barrel.
