Through the years, I’ve crafted some ways to retailer and manage embroidery floss. Generally I feel that I like the method of constructing these much more than utilizing them. The one which has caught for me the longest is sorting the skeins in small containers sorting them primarily based on the DMC coloration card. You possibly can see that right here. However that is storing my threads in an organized manner.
However relating to holding embroidery floss organized whereas truly engaged on a challenge, I am normally fairly horrible about it. I sometimes have little nests of thread in a challenge bag, which you will see later on this publish. And that is even if I designed these embroidery floss bobbin thread organizers ten (sure TEN!) years in the past.
These are primarily based off of comparable playing cards you should purchase in addition to some easy handmade ones, and even the acrylic or wooden selection. My printable is predicated on the thread bobbins I’ve made previously, however greater and made for holding a bunch of threads and labeling them too! As I have been doing extra cross sew, it has been particularly useful as a result of I am pulling off single strands, versus utilizing three strands like I normally do with embroidery. I am nonetheless new to utilizing this, however now I haven’t got messy wads of floss to type by way of!
Wish to print your individual and provides them a strive?
I’ve two variations of those out there. One has 4 colours (purple, yellow, inexperienced, and blue), after which for individuals who help me on Ko-Fi, there’s a model with a further 4 colours (pink, orange, teal, and purple).

Print the web page on heavy card inventory (or you could possibly mount it onto skinny cardboard utilizing my stronger card technique), then trim the bobbins.
Punch holes alongside the edges. If you would like, you too can punch a gap within the prime so you’ll be able to hold all your bobbins on a hoop.
Now, seize these nests of embroidery floss (or when you’re good, use these organizers from the start so you do not have this downside).
If you begin a challenge, or as you are working, place the reduce strands by way of the outlet and safe with a cow hitch (sure, that is what that “knot” known as!)). You possibly can write the colour numbers subsequent to every loop if you need, and even add your challenge identify on the prime. No extra guessing, particularly when you’ve gotten colours which can be shut to one another!
If you happen to look intently, you will see that after I ended up with an additional thread, I added it in with the matching coloration. It is a useful method to hold alllll the threads tidy.
After I’m not utilizing the floss, I simply wrap the hanging threads across the card such as you see right here!
Earlier than I signal this off, I wish to spotlight my Ko-Fi web page. There are a number of methods to help me there, together with what I name the tip jar so you’ll be able to drop one thing in and get bonus information now and again (like the complete rainbow of floss organizers!). However my Ko-Fi Klatsch is one of the best worth, whereas actually serving to me do what I do. That month-to-month membership contains all of the bonus information, plus unique patterns, video calls, reductions, and new launch patterns, relying on the tier. I would adore it when you took a glance.
And now, joyful stitching!
