I make a piece of cardboard with small slits in the side. The size depends
on how much thread there is.
Then I wind the thread onto the cardboard, usually about 6 strands at a time
and put the ends in the slits. Keep the the cardboard in a bag with the
original reel. You can write what the thread is on the cardboard.

Has anybody got suggestions for dealing with leftover thread from bobbins
please?
I currently have several bags with bobbins that would have been used for
various lace projects. These have substantial amounts of thread left on the
bobbins and the roll/reel/cone of thread used is in the same bag for
identification.
When I come to need the bobbins for another, large, project, what should I
do with the thread? Too much to discard and yet winding it back onto the
original roll/reel/cone will probably result in quite an untidy mess.
I promise I tried to look at the archives before posting what I am sure has
been discussed before, but they seem to be unavailable for now. On the
other hand, the list is a bit quiet so it will give us something to talk
about, and perhaps we will also get some newer ideas too.
