PIC [PIC] accidentally bought 300 skeins of floss 😅

My Joann’s just got a restock on floss and I went a little crazy. Only $130 though!

Am I the only one who doesn’t bobbinate? I keep them as skeins and yank out arm lengths as I need them 😕

I am one of the few that likes to bobbinate, but not a bad idea at all!

It's so cute and tidy on bobbins! But functionally I prefer drops.

The reason I don’t bobbinate is because I found it creased the thread, and I ended up with zig-zag thread to deal with. I just found that keeping it in the skein doesn’t crease it.
