I have my cotton threads on two spool holders, same wall as window, no sunlight at all. The others are in a box in cabinet or in school supply boxes.

Most of my thread is on the wall on those peg things. I keep my quilting thread downstairs in a wooden box because I only use it for hand quilting.
But I know that's another project I need to dive into. My sewing room is horrendous at the moment.

Tex system is based on the weight in grams of a thread 1 kilometer long. A kilometer of tex 10 (very fine) thread weighs 10 grams, while a kilometer of tex 100 (very coarse) weighs 100 grams. The Tex system measures the entire thread, no matter how many strands or plies it has. While a thread can have any actual weight, the Tex system has official ranges of sizes that get the same Tex number. For example, all threads weighing between 24.0 and 26.9 grams per kilometer are designated T-24. This is on the link. Sorry it didn't link but you can Google that logo then thread systems. Hope that works for you.

I probably don't have as much as you do. I have most of it out on a couple of racks so I can see it. For me with thread it's out of sight out of mind.

I have a big roller cart with drawers that hold my rayon, embroidery thread, a small 3 drawer tote for my metallic, etc thread. My cotton is on a thread holder on the wall, my serger thread is in a tote with drawers, my specialty threads for serging are in certain drawers. I like them to all have thier own space and then I can go right to where I need to go and find what I want. I hate searching thru everything to get to one type of item. I now also have another tote to hold the new stretch thread from coats n clark, I need to make sure that doesn't get mixed up with the other, it also has a space to put the bobbins for stretch thread in it as well

I hung clear shoe holders on inside of closet doors. Works great.

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.
