what is the diameter of the spool (outside)? What is the width of the spool? (for both questions...spool by itself, not the holder). Thanks!

About 11 inches. That's the dimension described in the listing description as 10.8 inches

FWIW, I read the ruler wrong, it's actually 4-21/32" or 4.656" OVERALL diameter. (Strange that we can't edit or own posts!)

Reel is 1 3/8" wide and 3 3/8" in dia. These measurements are edge to edge (not including the protruding knob on the spool) Hope this helps. Don. P.S. It's a nice reel...especially for the money

If you are asking how to store the spool with the Handi-Bobs, I have a spool tree that hold 63 spools of thread. I just slip the spool with the attached Handi-Bob over the peg. I keep my extra handi-bobs in a ziploc bag. If this does not answer your question please ask again.

I have my Dad's old Royal Arrow. In it he had spools that were 2" in diameter and the ribbon itself was 1/2" in height. I read elsewhere on Amazon that those are the standard dimensions for many old typewriters.

Hello jd, The diameter of the paracord is 1/8' or 4mm. For product specific questions like this, it's best to contact the seller about the product. It'll be a much quicker response. Thanks!

This is a kilometer spool by definition....are you saying your spool hold a half kilometer of line?

Hello, I think this model would be to small for a regular spool of thread but a good size for a bobbin if those are still in use today, My mom had those when I was a kid. They sell these boxes in a number of sizes so just measure a spool and get a taller box. hope that helps

It's either a typo or someone was heavy handed with a pair of calipers for measurement. I've ordered 100' sections to 1000' spools from them and everything has been exactly what I expected. 3/8 sounds a little big for a measurement to me but I haven't ever actually checked the diameter. Either way it's the same diameter as all other 550 paracord I've worked with and seemed better quality than some others I've found.

The base of spool is 2 1/4" and the thread is 6 1/2" around. I hope that helps, oh & its 4" tall.

You can use the regular 0.065 line that comes in bulk 200" I do not think that 0.095 will fit as you cannot get the line in holding slot.Only point getting line and spool is if you lost/broke spool.

The roll I have is on a plastic spool that has an outside diameter of two inches, but the inside has a open axle of three quarters. The solder itself is about 1/8" to 3/16" and appears to have three layers on the spool. Roy T.

The spool is approximately 2 1/2" long. The thread does last. I am still on my first spool after making a bobbin twice and almost done with a dress. Still have more to go, but the spool looks like I barely made a dent. Hope this helps.

I have a package of Hillman #123106 in hand, and it's 20-gauge. (0.88mm diameter in metric.) Stated length of the spool is 175 ft.

I just received these on 1/16/16, and the sizes do not match the (very thorough) answer from williamk in 2013. The outside diameter of the plastic core is close to 2.5cm, and the total diameter of an unused roll is close to 4.6cm. The measurements provided previously would have worked for my machine, but the product I received does not. I will have to return these, but I wanted to note this for other potential shoppers!Best,Andrew, SBES
