I put my CT size spools in 3X4 ziploc bags, then into plasic bins by general color (hots, cools, neutrals). Not the most organized, but I can put the bobbin in the bag with the thread if I have one, the bags keep the thread clean, and NO TANGLES!!!!

I found some closet fruniture (I think Closet-Maid is the brand)that Loews was discontinuing and bought the drawer-types for my sewing room. I like them because they are only 11 1/2 inches deep and line up aginst one wall of my sewing room. They keep my thread out of the sun and dust free.
I also bought a rack with plastic drawers at Sam's Club for my embroidery thread and it is OK, but the drawers tend to slip off the track if I'm not careful.

Does anyone have one of these? Looks to be a great solution.... keeps threads organized, enclosed, and a space saver.
