I am a self proclaimed Thread Hoarder....and I know I'm not alone in this category. I've met plenty of you and seen your thread collections....so I know I'm in good company.
I'm going to show you some of the thread organizers that I have personal experience with but I know there are many more that are wonderful too.
I used to have my Isacord Thread on my thread wall....but I found I wanted to be able to have access to all of them right near my embroidery machine. So I got this Isacord Super Satchel Thread Box w/Trays. The box is by Art Bin but this particular organizer has special trays inside that specifically hold Isacord Thread (I did check and it doesn't hold other popular brands of thread...I knew you were going to ask me that...lol)
Oh so nice and neat...and the boxes are stack able too...for those of you with more Isacord Thread than I have :)
There are two trays per Isacord Super Satchel Thread Box and do you want to see what I love, love, love Check this out....you can take the trays out.....and if you do they won't fall all over the place because they snap into the trays. Isn't that just the best? I know you hate picking up all those spools of thread when your box opens....I do too. I think the Isacord Super Satchel Thread Box is perfect for all your Isacord Thread!
Mettler has a wonderful Thread Organizers that come with 40 spools of thread.
This is the Best 40 Silk Finish Cotton Thread Set Organizer Box and you can see it holds up to 104 spools of Mettler Thread.
The thread stays nicely in the case and to remove the thread you just lift the spool and it comes off the spindle. The case can lay flat or be hung on the wall. The other sets that come with this wonderful organizer are the Best 40 Polysheen Embroidery Thread Set Organizer Box and the Best 40 Metrosene Polyester Sew All Thread Set Organizer.
I have two 120 Spool Large Wooden Racks . These have legs that support them if I wanted them on the table top. I put mine on the grid wall. I like these as well...they are very convenient.
I also have an Easy Reach Thread Carousel ...it very special treasure and I love it. There is room for 100 bobbins on the top and 90 of spools of thread on the hexagon shaped carousel. If you need to hold the large or king cones....the Easy Reach Carousel also comes in the Large Cone size.
I'm almost embarrassed to tell you that this is not all the thread I own....but I don't want someone sending my name to the television program about hoarders....I just don't have time for their phone calls....LOL.
Do you have any nifty thread storage containers or ideas? I'd love to hear about them...and if you'd like to send along some photos I'd love that too. My e-mail is IHaveANotion@yahoo.com.
Smiles,
Kelly
