As in, all of my floss, together with some bits of cross sew material (perhaps some precise material?), random hoops, some picket beads for some motive, are all thrown right into a zip-top plastic bag {that a} set of sheets got here in. I believe it began as a bag only for cross sew stuff nevertheless it has not stayed that manner and regardless that it’s small, it’s nonetheless type of overwhelming to straighten out.

So most of my solids are actually separated from the variegated colours, however there’s nonetheless a complete lot of mess in there.
