I store my embroidery threads in plastic containers and they are filed in numerical order. Since I have mainly two brands and the colour cards to each, I use the colour card as a tool for selecting my threads. I have them wrapped with thread cling wrap to prevent unravelling. When I am finished embroidering a project, I file the thread back in their box. I have used this system for many years and I have found that it works well. I have a label on the end of the container and also on the lid recording the thread numbers that are contained within the box. One of my brands are 5000 metre spools and the are contained in a box approx. 11 ins x 16 ins. My 1000metre spools are contained in double sided thread boxes. Pictures included.
