I've just moved from working at home to a workshop, my threads have increased and I was wondering the best way to store these for easy access and tidyness. I would be grateful for any pics to give me some ideas

I use peg board to hang my hoops and other accessories close but have custom made (hubby and father-in-law) thread racks hanging on the wall.

I was thinking i may need something made, can you send me a pic please.

You can buy thread racks that stand up on a counter. We have something like that available. They don't take up a lot of space.

The thread racks are made to accommodate mini-king spools. The spacing is a little wider and the holders are a little longer than what you find at the local fabric store.
The larger spools of the basic colors, white, black, etc. are kept in the my storage closet.

Thanks for that, it all looks very organized.

I also use purchased wall racks. Locating your racks away from sunlight will increase the life of your thread. Generally speaking, my racks are organized by color but I also reserve space to group together cones needed for frequently run jobs that have lots of colors.
