I only have a fraction of the thread that some of you work with but love how I have it stored that is easy to pick out what I need.

I use several of the stackable Art Bin plastic containers sold at JoAnns.
I have one for my specialty threads like metallic etc., one for my rayon threads, two for my aurifil threads, quite a few that are tall enough for my serger threads and lots for other cotton threads. All are sorted by colour - I have one for black, creams and white cotton and one for grays, one for reds and pinks, one for blues, oranges and yellows and so on ....... lots of different shades!

I really like how portable they are and all organized. I can sit in different rooms with various boxes ready to pick from when I do hand work and when sewing.
