I had a customer send a piece of fabric and she wanted 5 caddies made from the same fabric so I got to thinking while I was building them and I was curious how she was going to use them. She said she was going to load one with reds, one with blues, one with greens etc.. I have some ladies that put one in each of their totes loaded with the colors for that particular project, some of you load a rainbow of color selection. So now I want to know how do you use your caddy or caddies?

Xtra Large caddy

I get asked this question a lot so I thought I would post the answer here on my blog.  The X-tra large size caddy was a special requested size designed to hold all 36 colors of pre-wound (cardboard sided) bobbins but if you choose to load it with class 15 bobbins that you wind yourself it will hold 29 colors.

The Large is 8 " long and holds 18 bobbins the
X-tra large is 13 1/8" and holds 29 bobbins
