Abstract: A method for organizing threads for cross-stitching. The method includes the general steps of arranging a predetermined number of threads according to at least one predetermined color scheme for cross-stitching; prefabricating a plurality of sheets, having a predetermined thickness with at least one perforated I-shaped element disposed therein; selecting a thread from a variety of threads based on the predetermined color scheme; wounding the selected thread around the I-shaped element; and inserting the wounded I-shaped element within a distinct spring loaded compartment of a multi-level storage unit. A color comparison chart is used to compare various colors of threads between compatible color code schemes.

Abstract: A system for organizing threads for cross-stitching. The system includes a plurality of sheets having a predetermined thickness and a specific absorption characteristic are processed to create a plurality of I-shaped elements as perforated or removable thread retainers. Each retainer is manufactured with indicia to indicate a particular color scheme. This indicia can be produced in a number of different languages for use by a broad spectrum of cross-stitching enthusiasts. The system includes the steps of arranging threads according to at least one predetermined color scheme for cross-stitching; prefabricating a plurality of sheets, having at least one perforated I-shaped element disposed therein; selecting a thread from a variety of threads; wounding the selected thread around the I-shaped element; and inserting the I-shaped element within a multi-level compartment for subsequent use. A color comparison chart is used to compare thread colors.
