I don't bother winding mine. My daughter used to wind mine and I did have a winder, it's just the time spent winding I could use for stitching and I hated the kinks in the floss, so I just keep my floss as I purchase it and donated my floss box to my son for his rock collection! :D I have unknown floss on bobbins in another case and wouldn't bother to wind any new additions.
Thats what I use....the fishing tackle boxes and put my thread on the little cards.
I also have a fishing tackle box carrier that can hold 4 of the thread boxes in it.
My son had so many of those little cars he collected, they were everywhere. I found the box I use online somewhere and thought that would help the clutter. Problem is, he never put his cars in it, so
