well Yvonne, I do not have messy drawers! :shock: LOLI just pull the end into the notch and stand them all on end. How will you keep that sleeve (that I throw away) on, it's too tight to just slip off isn't it? If I wrapped mine I think the sticky saran wrap would be my choice, if it's not too sticky. Those little nets for embroidery thread wpuld be good but that might run into some money if you have a good collection of thread.
