If you’re like many of us, you have lots of bits of thread.

And if you have long runs of thread, you think about how to keep them neat but still useful.

You might use bags or stitch bows, but those cost money. You might reuse empty thread cards or spools, but where do you put information.

You might use thread drops, but they don’t work well unless your thread is cut.

But Craft Chi has come up with free thread cards, which are lovely, can print on your printer, and have space for identifying the thread. There are two styles available, elegant & whimsical, and instructions of how to use the template to make cards as nice as any you would buy.
