In need ...

for a new storage box!
Visiting the Oxfam thriftshop I ran into this treasure. In fact I wasn't looking for this at all, so it surely made my day!


 All the packages where a mix of old threads, between size 30/3 and 100/3


 After selection: this is what I can work with.


All large bobins, not all of them are silk, but the colors are very nice and it's easier to work with then the bobins that only have 10m on it.
Amman, Zwicky, Guetermann, Mercifil, Molnlycke all size 30/3
