I find things in unlikely places from time to time. I had gone to a local craft store to see if they carried bead tweezers. Nothing doing on that front and the store help was not very helpful at all despite the fact they carried beads of all shapes, sizes, and colors plus every bead working tool known to man save, of course, the lockable bead tweezers. (I'll find them online somewhere if the other craft outfits here in the Valley don't have them.)
Anyway, I wondered around the vastness of the store that seemed to carry supplies for every craft in the known universe. (The lockable bead tweezers must exist only in a parallel universe.) The sewing area was gargantuan and I happened to spy something I was planning to make this winter, a wooden thread holder. This is far better than the clunky thing I had pictured in my mind, especially because it's upright, easily visible, and easily accessible. The brand name on these is "June Tailor". The larger 30 spool holder was $9.99 and the smaller 16 spool holder $7.66, both made in China, of course. I suspect that you could find these in nearly any craft store with a big sewing department.
