Abstract: Disclosed is a space saving means for accepting and retaining plural lengths of threads or yarns which have been transferred thereto from respective skeins. The subject invention is comprised of a plurality of nestable cylindrical tubes, each having a number of spaced outwardly projecting annular divider members or ribs which define segregated spool portions which are adapted to accept and retain, without entanglement, respective windings of thread or yarns for later use on a selective basis. The nested tubes are preferably made of clear plastic to enable the user to see the color of the threads available and a tubular plastic case is also included to house the nested cylinders when not in use and thus protect the thread windings from dust and dirt.
