Increased 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.

This accessory can help to prevent a lot of frustration when working on projects with multiple color changes and thread types. There is nothing that can affect the pleasure of a project more than confusion and being unable to find a particular color amongst the mess. Using these organizers for projects can prevent this frustration and allow the person to enjoy what they are doing to the utmost.

Ten blank cards are included when an accessory like this is purchased. These cards are labeled with the color codes found on the pattern. It helps to keep to the same order as the pattern when doing this labeling. It can take some time and effort to do it but the rewards are great once the work begins and everything is neatly at hand.

After labeling is complete the fibers are looped onto the appropriate hooks and secured between the foam pads. A tension is created that allows users to remove a single strand without worrying about any twisting or knotting. An easy way of removing a single thread from the hook is simply to use the tip of a needle.

This accessory is sturdily constructed and will last through numerous projects. It does not weigh much and so it is easily transported. It can simply be carefully placed in a bag and taken along on any occasion where needed. Sometimes people who are doing really large, complex projects will even own two organizers to cope with all the different colors they need to use.

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.
