Default one of those questions - how do you store

your Mill Hill Beads
anything that doesn't come in a skein/hank of fiber = the spools, the

Cheryl - in the midst of the great floss sort


All of my beads are in their original containers. I've got a
Rubbermaid box full of Mill Hill beads whose packages have never
reopened on their own.

The bead store bought seed beads are in their tubes or flip top
containers - depends on where I purchased them.

And the beads on hanks, if cut and not all are used, go into plastic
bags. I bought several sizes of small bags at the Container Store just
for this purpose.

My spools of Kreinek are in stackable boxes by size of the fiber. But
I'm outgrowing that storage and will be searching for something
better.

Pearl cotton #8 and #12 are in large plastic bins.

My Rainbow Gallery fibers on cards (other than Splendor) are in their
own plastic bin. Again, I'm threatening to outgrow this. Will sort it
soon into metallic and non-metallic.

I once had a box for random fibers that didn't have many compatriots,
but I usually forgot about to look through it. So those fibers now are
with the fibers they most closely resemble.

Yes. I have too much. No. I have no intention of stopping the
collection process. LOL
