SonovaStitchToob: How do you organize your floss? (and the return of Nugget) 

I absolutely adore that you let nugget give context

i love a well organised and aestheically pleasing system, this was amazing! also nugget is such a little star

Dang that magic trick caught me so off guard that I scared my family with my laughter

I have always made my own bobbins out of old cardboard, and I tape the little "info belts" (the paper wrap tube things that hold skeins together) onto the bobbins. And YES!!....MY bobbins are shaped in a way that has room to place the "info belts" so they aren't covered by the wound up floss! 🤣😂🤣😂

I came for the organisation tips but I’m staying for you and Nugget 🥰. Snorted my coffee at your thought process about what colour you classify a floss as - get out of my head! 🤣

I had just found an excel sheet organizer for making an inventory of embroidery threads and was looking for a way to organize by color but this is so perfect??? It fits my need for it to be aesthetically pleasing while also being organized and making sense! Thank you so much!!! (if anyone's interested the spreadsheet is by Lord Libidan and includes a search function that tells you right away how much of each thread you have once you've got it input).

It's me. I'm the floss gremlin that just tosses skeins into a box. But hey. At least I keep my scraps in order and use them when I can

this is brilliant! thanks so much for sharing. Just bought my own and can’t wait to fill it up!

OOOOOOOOOOh Myyyyyyy Goshhhhhhhh. I have been searching and searching and searching for ideas on how to organize my floss. Hail to the King!!!! King Ford 👑. Thank you for coming up with such a brilliant way to store your floss. I do not need to keep on the hunt for organizing my floss any longer. Ah, freedom from flossopolis..

I keep floss in Floss-Away bags about the size of a snack bag and file them in the box made just for them in numerical order. Easy neat never had a problem.

Lol... I just happened on your video this morning and having watched it, I'm still smiling. What fun! Great info on how you organise your floss ( 'threads' to us here in the UK) but with a cheeky, humorous twist. I can see I'll be chuckling all day catching up on your videos. C xx

I just started up stitching again after a 10 year break... I knew exactly what color 995 immediately. I know I have at least 5 of it 🤦‍♀️

First time viewer and OMG I love you! What a delight you are.

Recently got into embroidery again, I was into it a little but not as much as I am now, and I've been watching videos and stuff so this is the first video of yours I've seen and it was great!! I love your personality and humor, and I also am in love with nugget now, so thanks for that! Lol! You have gained a sub 😊 Ps I love your hair color!!!!! ❤️

Genius!😵 I just ordered that guide and I’m currently adding about 75% more skeins than I had to my boxes. They looked empty and as a collector mostly I need them ALLL!!! 🤗

Thanks for sharing. I use the Floss A way bags so i can put the single strands in the bag to use next time. Have a good day and stay safe.💜

Just discovered you. I’ve been stitching since the late 70’s and dmc many moons ago drove me nuts lol. I know they are keeping there options open with the numbers, but 🤪 hahaha! So I just recently had my wood fence replaced and had left over wood so I made a 4 or 5 stage shelf. Wish I could show a pic. Found storage cases 50% off and have decide after 10 years to reorganize my dmc floss. I have soooo much floss that I think I have every discontinued dmc color as well as the new. Sadly a mom and pop craft store closed shop in Tennessee where I once lived and I bought every single color from the dmc bend. So yeah I’m loaded lol So far I’m just going on their number system but I agree It really is not enjoyable to my eyes. Nice to see another nan that stitches

I love the wall behind you! 😍

Hi Nugget, would you please tell Daddy that I think he's just the bee's knees for me and you are too. Love you little guy!

Schaffer the Darklord -- awesome sticker! I love listening to his music constantly.

I love your budgie!

Good ideas. Thanks. You thought of the best flosstube name ever!

This is such a great idea. Thank you so much 💖

I use bobbins and I also have a spreadsheet with all the colors I have, where I put them (currently a work in progress) and conversions to DMC, because I'm polish and I'm cheap and I use Ariadna brand. It comes with an added benefit that Ariadna had more foresight designing their colors and organizing by numbers also organizes them by color

“I have a vinyl cutter and I’m extra, so…” 🤣. Me too!

I am so glad someone else relates to my sticker dilemma. I also just started putting them on my floss boxes and now I’m looking telling myself I can buy more 😂

I hit subscribe when you called yourself extra. 😂 I’m learning to cross stitch this year!

Thank you so much 😊 now I can get the color chart

Thanks for the suggestion. I just bought my DMC char😁t

Love your nerdcore stickers!!!!

Yes I love organizing my floss almost as much as I love using it

I use thread drops, went to DMC website to break them up into 12 colors then put into number order. Each thread drop as a color washing tape that matches it color group, so I know where it goes back. I have a master list just in case I forget 😂

I’ve been through all methods. My now preferred method is unwinding all floss from bobbins and hoping the bobbins didn’t weaken the floss at the ‘kinked’ edge. I now am in the process of putting all floss bobbins onto floss drops. I like being able to pull/tease one strand of floss out from the drop and not having a cut a length of floss remainder to rewind on the bobbin. I prefer putting all floss numerically. Patterns are giving floss numerically and rarely gives the color. I have the DMC floss card like you do, but it also doesn’t give or go by the color name. Still in the process of getting the bobbin floss onto floss drops. Consider this process. RNRWOODWORKSKY make a marvelous, inexpensive floss stick to wrap the floss from skein form. I have both sizes and prefer working with a longer length of floss so I use the longer winder. Will save the smaller winder for specialty threads.

I'm a heathen; when I first got started with embroidery, I'd get my floss onto a bobbin and do nothing as far as labeling goes. I hate myself for it now because I've amassed quite the stash and have NO IDEA what number every single one is 😫 It really sucks now that I also want to collect them 😂

I collect floss for the same reason I buy the biggest number of Crayola Crayon colors. I want all the colors. I know it’s obsessive. It’s better than gambling or drinking and far less expensive.

Finally wrapped 360. Now I am going to arrange them by number. Can you say overwhelmed. Don’t know where or how to start. Ok back to stitching.

Hi! Just found your channel. So fun! I can’t find the floss organizer at JoAnn’s, Michael’s, or Amazon. What is the brand? TIA 🤗

I got the chart from dmc its 3 pages with the number and the color of the numbers

I have that book

You can get a free color chart from dmc it has the number and colors

Where can I get the floss containers you use?

nugget!!!!!!!!

I couldn’t find the floss box. Would you mind providing a link or a brand name? Love your organization method!

Do they still sell them at Joann’s or not

that box would not take the bobbins I use. I like the larger ones.

Hello! A question, please. I have just recently discovered your RU-vid channel and, specifically today, viewed how you organize DMC. I have an exorbitant amount of floss numerically organized in approximately 20 photo boxes. The issue I have is pulling out the boxes every time I need to either get floss for a new project or put back floss after completing a project. This inconvenience makes me tend to not put things back up until it gets to the point where I can no longer avoid. Finally, to get to my question. How many of the storages boxes you demonstrated would it take for one full set of DMC floss. I have multiples of ever color. My thought is having one of each floss stored together would be more conveient. Then only having to deal with the 20 boxes when replacing a floss as it is used up. Sorry for writing a book but needed to explain so my question would make sense. Thank you, Susan.

Renegade Man, I believe this year is gonna be on 4th of Juplaya

If you don't have a glass card, what system would you recommend? I'm super new to this

🤯

Where’s store?

I’m extra. 😆 I lurv you.

I use the stitch bows what do you think of those

300 is always and will forever be black.

Where did you get the sample card? Is is one that has the actual threads or is it printed? I do not like the printed ones as it's not possible for the colors to be accurate.

How do you deal with creases on floss that has been on a bobbin?

Mine was 3371 until I organized my flosses.

Why is 995 so relatable

I'm just here for your burb. Adorable

Way to much work.... I just sort by dmc number.

I am the third option and quite frankly I feel attacked 🤣🥲
