I think your fantastic floss find might be from the late 90’s or early 2000’s. I know those 200 floss numbers were the beginning ones when I started stitching in the late 80’s so that is my best guess. That’s also when the bags for floss storage became super popular. What a treat! Yay for Dad’s find.
I love the chest of floss! I have a similar system for organizing floss in which I store floss in little plastic bags and keep them in a stacking plastic container. The problem being that they don’t stand up or fit correctly. I think I might be able to DIY something to fit in my stacking box that could accomplish this same idea. Great find!
Your system sounds really smart. That’s how my mom does her floss as well - and what I’ve been trying to do. My little box is now (finally!) officially all organized 😅 I really like your idea of finding a way to DIY this kind of system and I was searching to see if those sticky tabs were available online. I’m going to keep looking. 😊
Oh that's helpful to know! I'll take a look there as well. I'm wondering if there might be an option to still get the file tabs online as they are fantastic.

This was an amazing find! Great job dad. Also maybe print a list and highlight what you have in the box and how many in each.
What a great idea to print out a list. I'll do that!
