Re: [VFB] Thread storage
Just getting caught up after our daughter's birth 3/3. Yeah, it is taking over a month to get caught up... anyhow... I tried using the sewing thread racks but didn't care for them because of the oddball spools like pearsalls and such, and i tie too many soft hackles to go without the pearsalls being readily available. Instead, i use cheap plastic sandwitch storage containers with the removable lids. One for each thread size or type. They are stackable, so i have like 20 i think for wires, flosses, spooled tinsels, and threads, plus bead heads and cones and dumbells c. So like one (or more) for 6/0, for 8/0, for veevus 16/0 and caenis and the likes, c.

Re: [VFB] Thread storage
Silks can be especially problematic, the stuff frays really easy. For storage I use the priority mail boxes of the long Japanese stuff, and small plastics from AC Moore/Michael s. Also, Cabelas carries silk glove liners, get a pair of these for when you handle the silk. And, when the fly is wet the under body bleeds through, so you have to plan both layers.

Threads used to show up at the fly shops in plastic boxes that would lay the spools flat in formed/depressed rows, and then these boxes would stack. They’d each hold about 16 to 20 spools.
