Needle storage

Hi everyone, I have a large stock of cross stitch needles. There are in a bit of a mix up. Any new project I buy new needles. Needing to do a clear out and a bit of organisation
1. How does everyone store the needles in individual sizes.
2. With loose needles how can you determine the size.
Many thanks
Doreen

I have a few wooden needle tubes, marked with the size, and also a needlebook where I try to keep to one size/type per felt "page", and a quickie needleroll where I've actually embroidered the sizes on the felt, then stick the right size close to the number.

Mabel, thank you for the great idea of a felt "page" for quickies. It is so simple, but so great.

Not my idea, I'm afraid - I nicked it from a blog
(Mary Corbet's I think.) I loved how simple it was, and the felt just sticks to the felt so there's no sewing whatsoever.
Ah, found it - you can read Mary Corbet's explanation
here.
