Thread Control

Some folk might recall my studio clean-up earlier this year.

One of the things I really enjoyed was bringing my messy drawers of threads

under control.

Thanks to a friend who keeps everything I had a bag of cardboard tubes

from various paper products.

I think he thought I was a bit strange wanting to take them off his hands.

As you can see they are keeping my pearl cottons well under control.

My flosses have been an unruly, knotted mess for years

but now most of them are neatly wrapped

around old cereal box cardboard.

A piece of art in itself!

Have to admit I still have some baskets of knotty messes

and I am slowly working my way through them.

But I do enjoy looking at these little dots of colour

as they sit in my drawers.

Another drawer is full of balls and cones of neutrals.

I have a lot of them.

And now after my trip to Halifax, I have more to put in that drawer.
