I often use embroidery floss for my needlepoint projects because it is easier find in my area. I alsolike to put the floss on those little "spools" that can be bought a craft stores. :):):):)There are 3 problems with those. The cardboard ones are flimsy, and I have to use the special pen to write on the plastic ones. Also, I often run out of both kinds of spools.:):):):)Now I use a spool I already have and trace and cut them out of cereal boxes. I can write on them with a ballpoint pen, and they are not so flimsy.:):):):)If I use short lengths of floss, I use a hole punch on a rectangle of a cardboard box, so I can write on it make it to the size I want. After the project, I can just through it away and not worry about getting rid of the color numbers.:):):):)
