Organizing Embroidery Floss

I'm sure there are a lot of different ways to organize embroidery floss, but I'd like to share the way I organize them.


1. Take off the paper labels from the floss. Cut out the color number.


2. Pick the both ends of the floss, and fold in half 4 times. (It’ll be about 18” length.)


3. Fold in half again, and put the label into the floss all the way to the center.


4. Hang the floss on something like a thread holder. Cut all the ends.


5. Start braiding loosely.


6. Wrap it around the floss card.


7. Write the floss color number on the card for future reference.

8. Organize them by the number in the embroidery floss box.

I wish there's a different way to organize them without wind the floss on the bobbin. I don't like them getting even a little bit of crease on the thread.  So far, this is the only way I found that won't take space, and easy to find the number at glance. Hope this will help or inspire you organizing your floss :)
