Link: Stitching Room Part 3 :) (almost there)
Some things are just worth the effort...this is one of those things!!!!
Here is what we came up with for my Gast, WDW and CC threads. I must admit that I did not stitch with these as much as I would have liked to because they were a "chore" to go through and pull the needed fibers. If you will remember all my GAST, WDW and CC's were in baggies and on rings and stored in these 2 drawers...
I can now say I will HAPPILY stitch with them :) We purchased these simple inexpensive Tie/Belt Racks-they are wonderful-the pegs are offset so they don't hang right on top of each other and each rack will hold 27 different colors. Some colors I have 5-6 skeins of and that's no issues as the pegs are long enough to hold them. I did have to trim down the tags on the top rows of each rack-but the bottom rows will hold the tags without trimming.
I have my GAST and WDW on this wall...
It took 6 racks to hold my GAST and 8 for my WDW-I have a extra spaces that I can add new colors if needed. They are all alphabetized-If I bring in new colors-they will go to the "extras rack-as I will not "redo the alphabetizing" each time I get a new color.
And this wall holds my CC's. 4 racks of those. (I still need to purchase one more rack as I have 24 more different colors of CC's. I have them ready to hang-just need to get the rack (when we started out-hubby asked me how many racks I needed and I said oh about 10...LOL! I guess I underestimated my fibers :) )
I am so thrilled and it was so worth the 3 LONG days it took organizing these fibers :) That's pratically all I did for 3 days BUT it will be so nice to pull fibers now for a project and always know what I have on hand at a glance :)
Thank you for your interest in my blog :)For always allowing and encouraging me to share :) That means a lot to me :) I appreciate your time/visits so very much :)
Please do come again :)
hugs and love from SC,
