Plus a few packets of ones which don't fit! I tend to keep mine on a thick straw in my sewing machine drawer/box thingy. <br /><br />In fact I use a piece of straw blu-tac'd to my machine just before the tension take-up spool as I found in the days of banner making that my metallic thread kept undoing itself from the tension spool. I still use this for ordinary threads today.
