Abstract: A foldable spool for winding an elongate flexible member from which the coiled flexible member can be readily removed after winding. The spool includes a first elongate arm having a first tine located at one end and a second tine located at the opposite end. A second elongate arm includes a first tine located at one end and a second tine located at the opposite end. The central portion of the first arm is pivotally connected to the central portion of the second arm so that the respective first tines thereof form a first fork and the respective second tines thereof form a second fork to allow winding of the elongate flexible member. The wound coil is removed by pivoting one arm with respect to the other to separate the tines and open the forks.
