When do you throw it away?

Don't tell anyone, but I had a tidy up. No it looks worse, because I am halfway through, however,

I was sorting spools of thread, and I seem to have quite a few 'nearly' spools. These are clearly too little left to go back on the machine, ( though I have done it before...)  so how far down do they have to be to just get rid? Or do I keep them indefinitely just in case I want that one for hand sewing?

When do you get rid?

I am still expecting to keep all these. Madness still runs in this quarter!

embroidery reels

An amazing gift came my way today. An elderly lady who has had to stop sewing because she cannot see enough to do it, has passed loads of embroidery threads to me, in colours that sing! They really do. How kind and generous. Some of the spools are of variegated thread, others of plain. About 45 lots! How about that.So kind.
