Floss Color Swatch Book

 Here is some new floss to add to my floss color swatch book

 I ordered 62 skeins of floss from DMC:

60 of which are not in my swatch book and many are new to me colors.  I made my swatch book with number lists from 1 to 5000.  To add the new color swatches to my book, I punch a hole next to the corresponding number:


 Then I take a swatch from the floss skein and loop it through the punch hole:

Then I wind the skein around a floss bobbin 

and add it according to color to my collection!

 Currently, DMC has over 600 thread colors, and they are adding new colors all the time.   I like to keep my swatch book up to date and I also like to make a nice, big swatch so that it is easy to match threads!
