fiber by-the-yard storage ideas?

[Jay Dub]

I have always bought spools of ribbon and have seen many ideas on storing these (and I keep changing my system to figure out what works for me). My question is about fibers and ribbons by-the-yard. I just started aquiring these and can't figure out how to store them. Any ideas????

I am using a Cropper Hopper Embelishment box with the by-the-yard fibers wrapped around the fiber cards. I got tired of all the various packaging so I just took them all of the packages and wrapped them around the cards. I wrote on the cards who the mfg was and what pack it came from.

I have used a three-ring binder (Crop-in-Style Paper Sticker Binder) filled with trading card pages(baseball, football, etc.). You can wind the ribbon or fiber around your fingers, then slip each color into its own pocket. I think each page has nine pockets. You can group by color, style, etc. This might help to avoid the creases sometimes created if you wind the ribbon or fiber too tightly around the floss cards. HTH!

I have mine around the floss cards, then grouped together in SS, RR, EE, BB and neurtals and metallics on rings. I keep these all in a drawer of an iris cart. I do this with my fibers only, not my ribbons. Ribbons I found tended to get creases in them, so I just have them grouped loose in glass jars with lids in a drawer.

OMG! I had no idea you could buy the fiber and ribbon cards! Great idea. I wonder if Michael's or Joann's carries them? If not, does someone have a good online source?

I use a fishing tackle box- got it at wally world and have two of them one for sponges which i store by color fam. then i have one for fibers by yard and ribbon by yard. the ones i bought have 4 tackle boxes housed in a carrier box and that can be attached to the wall. I love it and it was really cheap like $8 a piece.

Joanns does have the cards- online even. They are called floss caddy bobbins.
