I stick mine in an oasis foam block.

I group colours together and they are easy to get hold of when needed.
Thats a blinkin good idea! Might have to try that, my current storage is a foil tray with lots of short 'bits' and the rest lying scattered on my bench under all the normal sized rods, then various scrabbling around when looking for a particular colour!

So right Kaz - including those 5" lengths of twisties that aren't enough to do anything with.  The amount of times I have used what I thought was a stringer of aurae only to discover that it was some sort of pale purple trans and wouldn't reduce ! :) :)  Also effetre black, hades or psyche...could be anything ....

Stringers are like sunday dinner leftovers, you put them in the fridge til Thursday and then chuck them away!!! Since I had a lesson with Lorna, I only keep silvered ivory stringers and the rest are made when needed, kept til the end of the week and then chucked in the bin :o!!! Life's too short to mix up effetre black and hades!!!

If it's got a hole, it's a bead !

I've bought 12 sets of salt & pepper jars to storage my stringers:

Works perfectly.
