Cones of Threads
I've never had the wonderful opportunity to deal with having a lot of cones of threads before. Spools I have a system. I'm looking for tips better than sticking them in a drawer -- which is their basic status right now. I do wish to keep them out of the light.
Recently I won an auction for a large lot of So Fine thread, around/over 20?? large cones. Six are still wrapped but most are opened and range from the very full to maybe half. I've looked but I haven't found any secret method of securing the loose threads. I wish to keep the labels with the color numbers in place. Maybe it's not the issue it once was since my cat passed, but I hate it when a thread escapes and gets pulled all over the place.
It wasn't quite what I wanted (the more knitted type) but my first stop was to the dollar store and I picked up some hair bands. They are doing ok for now holding the full cones.
What all do the rest of you do?
That's Smoke and Silver with hairbands on the backing for my Bonnie Hunter top.
