I must admit to being a thread junkie .... and I use most of the systems mentioned here except the stitchbows and the tallboy. Currently, I have 5 boxes DMC, 4 boxes Anchor - all wound on bobbins and in number sequence. I then have another box with Krenik reels of braids etc. My speciality threads (Needle Necessities, Silk n Colours, WDW et el) are stored in ziploc baggies ... big ones :) according to brand. Two shoes boxes hold my madeira, and I store all the remainders from kits, projects etc in ring binders on punched project cards. I also use two large plastic tubs to store all my balls of perle threads as I do a lot of of hardanger etc. My current projects are kept either in smaller ziplocs or small project boxes, with the exception of a hardanger tablecloth which is kept in a large zippered wallet (because of the size) and my bobbin lace work which is kept on the lace pillow, and covered with a cloth. Please don't get me started on how my other thread work stuff is organised (knitting, crochet etc) as I really need a bigger house :) |
