I don't bother winding mine.   My daughter used to wind mine and I did have a winder, it's just the time spent winding I could use for stitching and I hated the kinks in the floss, so I just keep my floss as I purchase it and donated my floss box to my son for his rock collection!:DI have unknown floss on bobbins in another case and wouldn't bother to wind any new additions.

Thats what I use....the fishing tackle boxes and put my thread on the little cards.
I also have a fishing tackle box carrier that can hold 4 of the thread boxes in it.
