I was asked to take my silk threads to my guild meeting on Wednesday for color comparison to match a wedding dress. Instead of just taking 3 or 4 spools I decided to take my whole silk collection. I have it stored in one of those matchbox garage storage boxes from Walmart. It is so handy as it can open on both sides, has a carrying handle and has 24 slots each side.
On the way home today I popped into our new Super Walmart and looked in the toy department. I couldn't find them and then I spotted a whole pile of them on the very top of the shelves. I had almost given up looking, having gone down the toy car aisle twice. have all my Gutterman silk on one side and the other brands on the other side. It takes the small DMC spools but not the supersize ones. My DMC tatting thread is too fat except for the size 90. I have put almost all my cotton spools on one side and my linen ones on the other. I should have bought two. I now have lots of empty smaller boxes but they are coming in handy for storing the flowers that are arriving for convention. The storage boxes cost $4.99 so I think that is a good deal.
