I keep my floss in little baggies, and have recently put them into containers and separated them with cardboard 'tabs' they are in numerical order and I hope one day to have the entire DMC collection :)

I used the bobbin method a few years back, but found out I dislike the folds in the floss. Now I use small Ziploc bags and sort them in numerical order.
