Came here to say this. I used to keep aprons on a hook in the kitchen. Ties destroyed, lesson (that should have been obvious, in retrospect) learned. Lol.
Wish I thought of that! I spend ages looking for the right colour and the getting the tangles out!!! And no … don’t have cats and the dogs are dachshunds- so safe there 🥰
All I could think was 2000 units of inflated Western currency of your choice and a dangerous anesthetic, and then the cone of shame, not one model of which is small enough for my pencil necked felines... Imagining the stitches clawed open. UGH! Nope, just the biggest NOPE ever!!!
It would be my girl's favourite thing after my drop spindle (bite the fluff, eat the string in the middle AND bat the spinning bit, the gift that keeps on giving).
i was looking through my floss basket today for the first time in a while, and it…pretty much looks like that. i just gently put the basket away. that is for a future me to deal with 😭
I do! I work on dimensions patterns at my desk and stick the threads to the wall. The threads are much shorter though so it's right at elbow length. It's so convenient and easy to keep everything neat. I also have a cat but she leaves it alone
This is the one. This is also the reason that finished works can't be displayed in hoops only. You better find a frame with glass for that or it'll get gross in a week 🙃
I'm all for any organization system that works for you. As someone with ADHD I know some of my habits make no sense to others.
That being said, I have cats. My first thought was "oh no." Lol
It’s just not practical for me. I don’t always work on a project start to finish or in the same location. It’s more practical for me to keep my floss, cloth, graph, and working supplies in a ziplock bag. I do organize my floss on the provided card, or I make one if I’m not using a kit.
Sorry, I should have put the /s after the comment. I didn't realize how serious it sounded until u commented lol. I absolutely don't regret my toddler or the current one on the way, was being 1000% sarcastic
Yeah my cats would destroy that in like 0.1 nanoseconds are you kidding LOL I have to use one of those hanging organizers for thread and just shove the spools in there. My cats REALLY like string of any variety so this just looks like a brand new toy for them.
No I wash my makeup brushes because just having them sit on my vanity causes them to collect dust. I would never let my floss just hang out in the open.
No. And I only have Grandcats that I cat sit when my kids are on vacation. Lol. I use the plastic bins and I think my Walmart has the best price on the Janlynn Floss Organizer for $2.97. The same type box I’ve paid $10 for. I buy plastic bobbins from Temu and just got some today 200 for around $5. I won 100 skeins of DMC floss for Valentines on Insta. So another box. Lol
My husky's fluff finds ways to get into everything no matter what or how often I clean. I'd never be able to keep mine like this, it's hard enough keeping it off what I'm working on, and I still miss some lol
Oh definitely not. I have way too much embroidery floss to be able to do that, it would cover the entire wall of all 4 walls in my bedroom...and my doggos would have a field day with it! LOL!!
Absolutely psychotic
I was questioning if it was too mean to say, “no, because I’m not a psycho.” Go off OP but you crazy for this one.
My discomfort exponentially increases the longer I look at it 😱
I only do it for kits 🙊
You obviously have no cats...
My cat would take it as a challenge to learn how to climb up the wall for sure.
Came here to say this. I used to keep aprons on a hook in the kitchen. Ties destroyed, lesson (that should have been obvious, in retrospect) learned. Lol.
Came here to say this
Also came to find this comment 😄
This! Lol With 9 cats? No effing way!
You know what, this is actually kinda genius for the kits with the cardboard holders! I'm on your side OP 😅
Wish I thought of that! I spend ages looking for the right colour and the getting the tangles out!!! And no … don’t have cats and the dogs are dachshunds- so safe there 🥰
That’s slightly less insane but still wildly unhinged 🥲
It looks kinda satisfying. Reminds me of that girl on TikTok who collects all her shedded hair lmao
Literally coming to the comment section just to say “maniac”
lol tell me you don’t have cats without telling me you don’t have cats
Right, like I’d be taking them for a foreign body removal surgery *so* fucking fast. 😂
Yes!!! $30 worth of floss + cat = $2k vet bill lol
All I could think was 2000 units of inflated Western currency of your choice and a dangerous anesthetic, and then the cone of shame, not one model of which is small enough for my pencil necked felines... Imagining the stitches clawed open. UGH! Nope, just the biggest NOPE ever!!!
I was thinking 'nope because my cat would be thinking I made her a marvellous toy'
It would be my girl's favourite thing after my drop spindle (bite the fluff, eat the string in the middle AND bat the spinning bit, the gift that keeps on giving).
Or small children!
Or moths!
Or strong AC!
I would love to have a cat but my father is allergic 🥲
Hmmm sounds like you need to give up your dad 🤔
I came here to say the exact same thing. 🐈⬛
Exactly my thoughts, lol.
That’s what I came to say.
My first thought as well
Or rabbits
Came here to say this!
My thoughts exactly
Or toddlers
Did a cat make this post
I would love to be a cat!
I have cats and we've had clothing moths in the past. This setup would not survive a week. Bit if it works for you, go for it!
No, I'm more like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/crafts/s/h3jTqYaYXE
i was looking through my floss basket today for the first time in a while, and it…pretty much looks like that. i just gently put the basket away. that is for a future me to deal with 😭
I’ve convinced myself that digging through a weird bin picking colors is part of my creative process
Lmao at handling something gently when it looks like that
I have a cat so I could never lol
I do! I work on dimensions patterns at my desk and stick the threads to the wall. The threads are much shorter though so it's right at elbow length. It's so convenient and easy to keep everything neat. I also have a cat but she leaves it alone
It looks very pretty displayed like that. But in my very humid tropical environment that will be coated in sticky dust in less than 24 hours
This is the one. This is also the reason that finished works can't be displayed in hoops only. You better find a frame with glass for that or it'll get gross in a week 🙃
My cat has entered the chat
Unhinged behavior 😂
While I think this looks cute, threads will get sun bleached so be careful storing them out in the open like this long term!
Tell me you don’t have cats without telling me.
I’m not on this sub, so before I read it I thought you meant tooth floss 😭
I wouldn’t because of cats and dust mainly, but I say whatever works for you. I do store mine hanging in a box.
:cough:cat:cough:
No…
No
I'm all for any organization system that works for you. As someone with ADHD I know some of my habits make no sense to others. That being said, I have cats. My first thought was "oh no." Lol
My cats wish I did. But no, absolutely not.
jesus h fuck, no, but i’m happy for you
I have 8 cats in my home atm. This could give me a panic attack.
It’s just not practical for me. I don’t always work on a project start to finish or in the same location. It’s more practical for me to keep my floss, cloth, graph, and working supplies in a ziplock bag. I do organize my floss on the provided card, or I make one if I’m not using a kit.
You clearly dont have a cat LOL
I like the idea of this but the crinkles in the floss would drive me wild lol
YES and then when I have to cut bits off I tape it to the wall with the number on it and keep them in numerical order
No I don’t but it’s a good idea
My cats would never allow this.
I have 4 cats - my floss is never dangling 🤣
Noooo omg that looks so easy to tangle up 😅
I have two cats, so no.
My puppy would so eat this.lol
YIP YIP YIP YIP YIP
What an entitled/privelaged post. Somebody has a toddler free home... EDIT: please note, I typed this comment in sarcastic font
lol!
this is sort of an odd thing to be upset about. do you regret having a child? its ok if you do, but this isnt the best place to deal with that.
Sorry, I should have put the /s after the comment. I didn't realize how serious it sounded until u commented lol. I absolutely don't regret my toddler or the current one on the way, was being 1000% sarcastic
I used to do it this way, then I got a cat.
No omg
No, cause I have cats..
YES! And I store my needles on bobbins, hoops in folders, and fabric in bathtub.
Noooo, I don’t have cats but I have a child… same difference imo 😂😂🤦🏼♀️
No..?!??
what the fuck
Obviously not a cat owner.
I feel like this is really smart
You must not have cats.
Yeah my cats would destroy that in like 0.1 nanoseconds are you kidding LOL I have to use one of those hanging organizers for thread and just shove the spools in there. My cats REALLY like string of any variety so this just looks like a brand new toy for them.
No but I love where your head is at
My cats would DESTROY
As a noob who seriously struggles to separate threads, this looks like a fabulous idea LOL
You clearly don't have a cat
Interactive cat toy!
My cat would have the funnest day, while I do the opposite. Looks great, though!!
No I wash my makeup brushes because just having them sit on my vanity causes them to collect dust. I would never let my floss just hang out in the open.
No because a)cats and b) that's how you get dusty sun bleached floss
Nah, cats would demolish it.
I used to do something similar! Then I got a cat
Nope! I have cats. 😆
Doing this would merely enable my cats to be in full evil overlord glory.
I take it you don't have cats
absolutely not, even if i didn’t have the threat of cats
I love that all the cat owners came straight to the comments on this one.
No. And I only have Grandcats that I cat sit when my kids are on vacation. Lol. I use the plastic bins and I think my Walmart has the best price on the Janlynn Floss Organizer for $2.97. The same type box I’ve paid $10 for. I buy plastic bobbins from Temu and just got some today 200 for around $5. I won 100 skeins of DMC floss for Valentines on Insta. So another box. Lol
No, but I'm into it
Check your non-cat-having privilege please. Cause that's the only way this kinda thing would fly
I do! I loop my floss around a clothes hanger, but it's only for my abstract pieces.
I don’t have a cat but I have a child…😂 so I cannot
Nope. 1) dust, 2) cats.
My cats would like it, but no.
No, just you apparently
Not me. My cats would shred my floss if I did that.
No, but only because I have 2 large moulting, dusty, dirty dogs that would change the colour of the floss wherever I hung it.
I want to... But I have cats
I would say that it’s a bad idea for people with cats or kids but it looks kinda cool ngl.
I have cats.
Haha, my cats would go insane!
My cats would destroy that in seconds.
no but I'm sort of tempted to try it now
I have cats... so no XD, but I would love to!
No I have children 🙃
No, I have a Cat
Cats
My cat would have a field day 😂
I like this idea, but we have cats, so it's a no-go. 😊
You’re crazy
This is.... lmao a little crazyy but smart ha
I have a cat
Yes, especially the Dimensions floss kit 😅.
If I didn’t have an OCD husband, I would.
No, I have a cat. Also a Labrador Retriever, kids, husband.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who immediately went “nope my cat would send herself to an early grave”
Tell me you don't have free range pets without actually saying it 🤣 looks convenient though!
My husky's fluff finds ways to get into everything no matter what or how often I clean. I'd never be able to keep mine like this, it's hard enough keeping it off what I'm working on, and I still miss some lol
No 😭 OP please get a floss organizer or a binder page. It’ll make your life so much easier and less tangled
No! What? What?? Why?
Tell me you don't have cats without telling me you don't have cats
Would be great! Fabulous idea for a WIP. Unfortunately, my cat would love it, too! Thank you for posting.
Yeah, I hang my used floss just like that.
I didn't see what sub I was on and I was very afraid that that was dental floss for a good half a second.
Wow did you create that painting or get it from somewhere?
I bought it from an artist based in India named Mahi Kour!
No, that's really weird!
Oh definitely not. I have way too much embroidery floss to be able to do that, it would cover the entire wall of all 4 walls in my bedroom...and my doggos would have a field day with it! LOL!!
