I store my linen and cotton threads separatly and have a filing card in each box with the list of threads by brand and size on it. I keep track of how many spools as well.
I also put a star beside the listing of the thread in the book : Threads for Lace by Brenda Paternoster. That way, I know what I have and what is sort-of equivalent to what in my stach. Since I also use old cotton sewing thread, I store those by size taking no notice of brand name. Mixed in a multicoloured project, it hardly matters if they are slightly different in size. There it is more important for me to know what colours I have. Hope this helps.
