Silk Threads

I am just starting to use silk floss, just a little in each project because of cost!I usually use DMC and wind onto bobbins.

How should I store the silk?I dont want to damage it, I cant afford to replace it.

Baggies, bobbins, or ?????

Please help!I need advice.Thanking you in advance. :)

Because I dont have a great deal of silk floss I store mine in a special box. The leftover thread I store in small bags, with the thread tag, so I dont get muddled up.. Be interesting to see how other stitchers store their silk floss....

I keep mine on thread rings or cards, laying them flat in cigar boxes,

If it came as a skein, like six strand cotton, Id use a stitch bow or a baggie.Id be reluctant to wind it on a bobbin because its difficult to get the kinks out later.
