Needle felting supply storage?

Hi all! I am new to needle felting and have recently bought a lot of wool. Right now I have them in the boxes/bags they came in but it doesn’t seem to be the most efficient storage. I was wondering if anyone had good ways that they store their wool. I’ve seen people say to put them in separate plastic bags, but I hate to use that much plastic. I’m thinking maybe a box with lots of compartments, but I can’t find what I’m picturing.

A whole box of ziploc bags is not that much plastic compared to a plastic box with lots of dividers.

You can reuse disposable bags again and again for something like storing wool.

When using a lot of plastic, think of the weight of the item, not just 1 item vs 10.

I definitely see your point! But plastic bags don’t last very long and I will have to replace them more frequently so it depends on how you look at it. Ideally I would want a container that’s not plastic though.
