Yesterday I for the first time thought of the advantage of kits vs charts: you just take it and start working on it, and when you get bored store it away and take another. That’s because I decided to (finally) try the new method of keeping *all* threads I have in one place while working on a project, taking out the color I need and then returning it back to the “number group”. “One place” didn’t worked out. They ended in two boxes, one large and one small and so this spoiled the intention. The speed with which I’d reach for and find a thread is related to the overal stitching speed. And having to open a second box is already spoiling it. But there’s no other way out. I did saw a storage rack similar to those in needlework shops. But it was 1. smaller than needed so it might not take all 400+ bobbins 2. horribly expensive for just a plastic box with drawers.

Anyway, hope for now the system will still work somehow. For TW projects I also left some space for keeping blended threads. I have to buy more threads for “The Castle” (20 skeins), and hope with this the “thread flow” will stop for a while
