Your selvedges are getting really good! A tip when winding the cardboard pins or bobbins etc for on boat shuttles is to wind quite tightly to get a firm bundle and to leave an inch or so clear at each end, moving fractionally further towards the middle as you go, forming an ellipse. This prevents the yarn slipping off the edges and getting tangled.

I think I've managed it with some of them, but sometimes when I pull firmly it stops turning so it can be tricky can't it!!
It certainly can! Gets easier with practice!
