This is what I use to store my threads in. It took a really long time when I first filled it up, but now it's not so bad when I just have to replace a few colors.
I use floss boxes but this looks like it is two sided like a fishing lure box. Is that what it is? If so I love the double side and now I have to go look for some myself!
It took me a while before I found a webshop that sold this double-sided cases. Just recently I got it. And the case is really super handy. Don't want anything else.
That's exactly what I did. Cost a little to purchase the winder (makes it SO much quicker) and enough cards, plus the boxes to store them in (mine were all single-layer, individual boxes and I don't think they were even specific to floss cards. I think they were for fishing tackle, or something).
Then, I spent a few days winding everything, labeling the cards, etc. But once you're done, you only need to do a few when you run out of a color. And, yes. I just HAD to have every, single color/type of floss that DMC made, plus some other nifty types of things like the metallic Krenik threads and I forget what else. :)
I would just wind the thread while watching TV or something, so it didn't really bother me too much since I wasn't in a hurry. Now I just flip from one side to the other to get my color.

Thanks. Took me a while, but I wasn't in a hurry and now there all in one place in one box. At least, the complete DMC set. The speciality threads are not as organized.

I wish I had that! I've just swapped from kits to charts so I only have a few colours, and the manky pre-cut pieces remaining from the kits. Nothing organised at all.
