Another is just for silk threads, different makes on each side. One for
metallic and specialty threads. One for colored cotton threads and the

These plastic storage containers are double-sided and can hold several spools
of thread on each side of the box.
When they were sold as Car Garages, they were relatively cheap, but now that
they are being sold as

Hello All! My “lace cave” moved recently & I was faced with larger, deeper
drawers that are more difficult to subdivide. The Plano fishing boxes I use for
