How do you organize your flosses when working on a project or projects? Are they tossed around haphazardly? What if there was a system that held almost any number of flosses and kept them organized? And what if that system also rolled up for easy portability and use anywhere? Sounds magical and unattainable, right? Not at all. Enter the Floss Inn, which is an ingenious creation handmade in New Mexico.

The Floss Inn is "a product for organizing your needlework projects in a way that makes threads very accessible without the worry of a threaded mess," per their website. Their creator (and fellow stitcher), Julie, said that her own stitching "mess" was her inspiration for a system that would make things so much less tangling and frustrating. The Floss Inn is an organizer complete with both fabric and plastic pockets. Each plastic pocket features a reinforced hole and a wooden bobbin. Floss or thread is wound around the bobbin and then placed into the pocket. You then thread the floss through the reinforced hole using a large-eye needle. Floss can then be easily pulled and cut directly from The Floss Inn. The fabric pocket above each plastic pocket holds additional strands not currently in use. No more tangles and no more scrounging to find the right floss! The Floss Inn is available in several options, ranging from 10-pocket to 100-pocket Inns. Color and fabric choices are vast, making it a cinch to find a style you can't live without. The prices range from $39 to $289 based on size and customization.
