I would surmise that one would have to add a field in the DB table to hold location and then add to code for input and subsequent display/printing

I am putting together a website for a sewing store. We carry a variety of different thread company's products and each thread company has 400-500 thread colors in each spool size. What would be the best way to add these items into the database?
1. Add each as a separate item
2. Add each company+spool size as an item and use attributes for each color number
3. You tell me the best way!

Is there a way to add these products as a list with no picture placeholder, etc. without changing all of the other inventory items such as sewing machines, sewing furniture, etc which display in a 3x3 grid?

I am very new to all of this so please go slow...
Thanks.
