Floss storage?

srmcguirk

How do you guys store your floss?  I used to use the little cardboard cards, but Ive recently found a better way.  I work in a jewelry store and when we get new necklaces, they come in long, thin ziploc bags that are just the right size for DMC floss bundles.  Any better suggestions?

I prefer the ease of storing my threads on cardboard or plastic bobbins and in plastic cases. I keep excess thread (multiples) in plastic bags and store them in metal tins. Id love to have a wooden cabinet, but the plastic cases are portable and keep everything clean and divided.

I have floss both ways on the cards in the plastic containers is how I did it for years but I just recently bought a ton of floss 450 skeins and I have them in plastic bags on metal rings and finding it is very easy.  Now every time I do a pattern I take the colors I need and put them on a metal ring so I have all the colors together and just have to take those with me instead of dragging all the plastic boxes.... I have five boxes and it just got to be too cumbersome.

I use small plastic zip-lock bags, one for each colour.  I store the bags in binders, using the plastic sheets you can buy for baseball cards.  I got this idea from someone on this forum, and really love it.  When I start a project, I just haul out the binders, pull out the bags I need and presto!

Que buenas ideas, yo solo uso los plasticos y en un aro de metal pongo los que estoy usando en el trabajo, me ha resultado bien.

Ive used more methods than I can remember over the past 30+ years of stitching.  I didnt like the kinks in the floos from using bobbins.  I now use floss bags and store then in order in a library card catalogue cabinet.

For the first of the colour I have I store them on plastic bobbins in the plastic storage container. For the extras, I keep them in floss bags organized by number.

I use card bobbins too, and store in the divided boxes from the craft store.

I hate those little cardboard cards.  I did however find some plastic cards that work the same way at Joanns craft store.  Way better than cardboard.
