But these are only 3/4" in diameter and my thread spools are closer to or over 1". However, I did finally start finding them, including these Brightwater tubes http://www.chifly.com/Product/Details/2382/Brightwater-Thread-Tubes?avad=31555_b366ba1d which have square tops so they won't roll. The problem I found is in getting the right size. Some people are not careful to specify their size as ID (inside diameter) or OD (outside diameter). Like I said, my UNI-Thread spools are just under 1", while other ones are just over an inch (both by a millimeter or so), more like a 'golden' dollar. Anyway, with mail order I can't verify that that I get the right size and I was hoping you had found a source for a tube that you knew to be the right size.
