I used to store my thread on a board that hung on the wall with spindles on it. I quit doing that because the thread got dusty. I don't keep my bobbins and thread together. I primarily use grey, beige or white thread for piecing so have a few bobbins of each color wound. When I need a specific color of thread I either find a bobbin that is already wound with a color that is near that same color or wind about as much as I think it will take on a bobbin. I don't worry about an exact match because you don't look at both sides together anyway. The best bobbin box I have found is one made by Singer. It clear plastic with a hinged lid. It has indentations for the bobbins to rest in so once placed in it they don't move around. If I place the thread end so it is on the bottom I don't have any tangling problem. I found that an empty Crystal Light container holds four spools of Aurifil thread which makes a good dust free container for it. Other thread I have in clear shoe boxes.
