 This is as far as I got on my seam today because when I opened the draw of silk ribbons I decided it was past time to get it organized.
I started by seperating the organza ribbons, floss and wider silk ribbons into seperate piles…This is a bit of a hard draw to organize because some ot the ribbons are purchased loose while others come on different sized cards…The organza ribbons I wound onto a piece of cardboard covered with cotton batting, the flosses and wider silk ribbons I put into small containers.
Of the narrower silk ribbons I generally like them stored loose in the draw because I hate the crinkles in the ribbon from being wound onto cards but it only works for shorter lengths (under a metre) of ribbon so what I have ended up doing is leaving what is on cards on the card, longer lengths are wound onto the funny stackable plastic bobbins that I purchased many years ago, the shorter lengths are threaded onto a safty pin as I did for the satin ribbons so that they can sit loose in the draw but by holding the pin up I can see every ribbon that is there.
The white ribbon at the back of the draw is waiting to be dyed.
