Parts cabinets from the hardware store. The ones I buy, the drawers are
long enough to hold a skein of floss flat.

Since I have a mix of brands, I store mine by color. A friend who
stitches exclusively with DMC stores by number.

Kreinik spools are stored upright, roughly sorted by color (reds,
greens, not specific number) in a wooden 3-drawer stationery cabinet
from IKEA. Well, they *were*. When Needle Delights went out of
business, I bought out her whole stock of Kreiniks and those are in
scrapbooker's cases from Michaels because there are so many of them.

I have been using them (you know I love to add sparklies wherever and
whenever), so eventually I will get the quantity down to fit back in the
IKEA cabinet. I need to find something the right size for the Rainbow
Gallery cards that Kathy threw in with the Kreiniks.

I have the same system as Karen. I use the the tool boxes used for
storing small parts. Mine are very similar to

I have skeins, beeds, etc stored in them. Easy to see what's in the
drawers and I have stickers on the drawers saying what floss number is
stored in them.
