Abstract
The invention is a combination spool and bobbin holder having essentially separate sections for the spool and the bobbin. The color of the thread is visible on both the spool and the bobbin for selection purposes and to ensure that the correct bobbin is stored with the correct spool. The device has retention devices to secure the spool and/or bobbin, and/or receiving devices to facilitate insertion of the spool and bobbin within, or to, the device.
