I have some too - not nearly as many as you. I have mine decorating my sewing room. I have them in a large Mason jar. A lid keeps the dust off too. Pretty.

Nice and pretty! I bought a gallon bag full of empty wooden spools at a yard sale finding last weekend for a dollar! That is what I am doing with them, putting in a large jar with the other ones that I have collected. But, right now, my sewing room is too small to display them anywhere! Thank you for sharing!

If you get brave enough to try a silk quilt you will be prepared with your silk thread
