Colours in the right hand half are currently in use for this month's Mouse SAL, which has a lot of different colours. The ones in row 4 (reading from the left) [if this was a numerical table this would be column 4, but the box is flat, so to me it's a row. And my box, my rules] are for this particular month, the ones in rows 5 and 6are mostly recurring colours. The ones on the left hand side tie up with the following
I've been doing a number of kits lately and there's normally floss left when I've finished. There's not sufficient for a major project, but ideal for a card which may only require a few strands of thread. So the left hand side of the working box has the larger quantities of floss, plus the sparkly floss, while the coloured bobbins have small amounts of floss, sorted into colours.
