I have threads that are years old (stored this way) and they behave the same as my newer threads.

My one rack is too small and I can decide what I want to do. I like the idea of attaching them together like that.

Well done!<br /><br />I had to remove my threads from hanging on a wall because the smog in Manila is too dreadful. It was ruining the hundreds of beautiful threads; their colors, too.<br /><br />I searched and searched the stores for a way to creatively store my threads and discovered some lovely clear plastic boxes that fit perfectly in two stacks inside a wicker box made right there in the Philippines. I bought green boxes for all my green threads, a red one for that family, blue for that one, and clear for all the rest. No more smog, no more dust on my threads. Yay for me!<br /><br />Hugs and happy highways,<br />Kelley~Mrs. Kelley Dibblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192189624517973551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-53065027918761697222014-05-05T23:17:53.465-04:002014-05-05T23:17:53.465-04:00Karen,

Those of us with very expensive thread collections know how sun and dust damage all threads.
