Floss Love Vol. 6: Messy Floss Organization

I always like seeing how other stitchers store and organize their floss.

I have a plastic three-drawer organizer that I use to keep my DMC floss in. 

The drawers originally started out very neat and tidy, but I gave that up years ago.

Here are photos of each drawer.

We have the greens and blues.

Black/Browns/Greys/Whites



How do you store your floss??

  1. Little sandwich baggies, labeled by 100s for the floss number. These, in turn, are stuffed in a bigger bag, which in turn is stuffed into my sewing drawer. Real classy. Not the best format for finding colors, but at the time I was doing cross stitch patterns that listed the colors by number.

    1. At least you have them labeled by the color number!! It takes me forever to find a number I need or I end up not even having that number!! HA HA!! Thanks for sharing!! :)

  2. I use the smaller baggies (snack size?) and have a card for each number that I insert into each,along with the floss. This way I can have new skeins in the back and used ones in the front. I file all the cards in photo boxes in numerical order. This isn't my idea but one I found on FB and YouTube. Works for me.
