I dont bother winding mine. My daughter used to wind mine and I did have a winder, its 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 wouldnt 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

I store mine the same way. Basically, I bought a pack of the little stickers with the numbers on them and over the course of the year any time I was somewhere that sold thread, Id pick up a few skeins.
The funny thing is that I inherited my aunts thread collection when she passed and she stored hers a completely different way (a box of skeins sorted into individual jewelry bags -- she did a lot of floral/plant cross stitches so theres tons of duplicates of various greens and browns.
So now when I run out I have a process of checking her stash before heading to the store. Its like having a back-up thread source, which comes in handy when I run out at 10 oclock at night and dont want to wait until morning.
