More Efficiency With A Pako Floss Organizer

By Christa Jarvis


Embroidery and other handwork projects where many color changes are required can be very difficult. It helps to have an accessory like a Pako Floss Organizer to keep floss from getting tangled. Many people involved in doing intricate stitching projects testify as to how these organizers help them to be more efficient.

These organizers are sturdily constructed and have 50 short hooks, 25 on each side. The fibers hang down over each side. Each of the hooks line up a symbol key window. This little square or window is used for noting the symbols on a pattern. Below the hooks are foam pads that hold fibers snugly in place without damaging or crimping them in any way.

These organizers are ideal for projects that do not include loaded thread cards or those where threads are already sorted. A complex project requiring multiple color changes can end up being more frustrating than pleasurable if colors become tangled up amongst one another and are difficult to find. This accessory helps to remove this frustration, adding considerably to efficiency and making the process more enjoyable.

The first step in setting up this accessory is to take a code card and label it with the color codes from the pattern. Blank cards are included with this accessory when purchased. Keeping to the order used on the pattern is advisable. Setting up all the little codes in the beginning can take some time but the effort is well worth and actually saves time in the long run.

Once the squares have their labels, the fibers are looped over the hooks and between the foam pads to hold them securely in place. This creates a tension, allowing a single thread to be removed without any knotting or twisting. A single thread is easily removed by using a needle tip.

The sturdy construction of this accessory means that it is durable and will last through many projects. The fact that it is lightweight means that it can easily be taken along in a bag when visiting friends or going on a journey. People who continually work on complex projects with more than 50 colors often own more than one of these accessories and find that this really makes a difference.

Most people involved in doing embroidery or cross-stitch are careful to work with very clean hands. Washing hands before working is important so that any oils and sweat that might be on the hands are not transferred. The little foam pads are probably the most vulnerable part of this accessory and they can get dirty if not enough care is taken.

It is possible to buy organizers like this from many online stores. When doing so, finding out the policies of the supplier with regard to returns, refunds or guarantees is essential. Reading all the product information and comparing prices before buying a product is also advisable. These products are relatively inexpensive but cost is far outweighed by the benefits offered. Discounts and special offers are often available online too. Reading customer reviews about such products reveal just how valuable they can be to those who enjoy doing more complex projects.
