and they have beautiful colors. But alas, ziplock bags with tangled ends of thread? No fun!I took those plastic boxes with dividers and put a ball of perle cotton in each one. I first drilled a small hole in the bottom of each divider and a little slit (like on thread spools to hold the thread taut). I have a box for each color family (sort of) and can easily see what color I want. It's working great. (pat on my own back!) I may not be the first to think of this, but I hadn't seen it before. It's kind of like the pop bottles or jars with the hole for yarn.

That's really a neat storage idea for the perle cotton balls .... BTW my favorite thread also!
That looks like a great way to keep them, and to use them.
I was wondering how I was going to store mine....I hadn't seen this before so thanks for posting.
