Storing Pearl Cotton Balls

To store my balls of DMC Pearl Cotton, I use plastic containers from the craft section (where beading supplies are located) of my local big box store.  If you click on the picture, and zoom in, the beauty of pearl cotton really comes across, and explains why I love using it for quilting.



You may be wondering what the little packet is in the front.  It's a reusable silica gel desiccant pack.  I put them in my boxes of fabric, too.
