Go to the dollar store and buy a toilet brush. It will pick up those threads wonderfully. I can sit in my chair and use it around my sewing area and cutting table, without having to get out the vacuum cleaner.

Despise carpet! Like socks one only washes twice per year, a jungle of filth, IMO. I use a separate hand held vac for my sewing room, dust and vacuum whole floor less often. It gets less traffic and no food, so it stays cleaner :)

I use a shop vac all the time, not only in my sewing room, but when I do heavy cleaning around the house. The suction is great.

I have hardwood so a dust mop works great. My issue is that the thread builds up on the wheels of my chair - what do you do about that?

I use my regular vacuum but when I am sewing I try to keep
on my threads in one place until I get done or sit the waste
basket beside me.
