I have two of them and four colors of floss reside in each drawer. I put little labels on the front and I'm good to go. My overdyed fibers are in a hanging file type system (of which I can't remember the name right now). They are on tags and the tags snap into the hangers. It's a great system because the tags have holes drilled in them and you can put them on a ring when you're working on your project.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792171420098351093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898544898579209745.post-7105317001815744082012-10-10T15:12:49.515-04:002012-10-10T15:12:49.515-04:00I use those archive photo boxes meant for scrapebo...I use those archive photo boxes meant for scrapebookers (thanks, gals!). I keep my DMC in open floss-away bags, numbered and labled in about six shoe-box sized boxes. The overdyes, CC, GA, WDW, I keep in alphabetical order on rings in the flat boxes. The same arrangement works for my Belle Soie and other silks (Caron, Gloriana, etc.). Each box is appropriately labled with brand and either the letter or number range it contains. Then the boxes stack all nice and orderly on the shelves of my stash closet waiting patiently. <br /><br />OCD-ly yours...Raleenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898544898579209745.post-78281496216690751542012-10-10T13:16:22.260-04:002012-10-10T13:16:22.260-04:00I use the tall boxes with skinny drawers you can g...I use the tall boxes with skinny drawers you can get at WalMart or Meijer or other places. each drawer holds 4 colors without having to wind them on cards (I hate doing that). I printed out labels for the drawers and then mounted two cabinets, one on top of the other on my craft room wall. Oh, I also spray painted them an antique white instead of the yucky blue they come in. Also, I found a great app on floss storage so you will know what you need when you go shopping. Try XStitcher in your App search. It lets you input how many skeins you have, lets you build a shopping list and has a project file as well. Of course, you have to update it as you add/use floss but I really like it. You can see a picture of my floss storage system on April 26, 2009. I've since mounted them on the wall (one on top of the other) behind my stitching chair. Organizing all my silks and over dyes is another problem...
