I needed my yarn stash today. Uggg I found it at the bottom of my bin (one of my many bins). And the best part is that, all of my yarn stash was still placed in the freezer bag. Clean, neat and not tangled in any form.
LOL so now your know the secret to my stash. You see I use my yarn stash for many reasons. These days it's all about the flowers. Poor boy heads are being so ignored by my crocheting skills. I need to change this. I need to figure out what I could make that is so boyish and slap it on a hat... Help!!
While my husband is driving the RV - I use this plastic bin (you know the one that those cheap cheese balls come in - imagine that except cleaned) to hold my yarn - which helps it stay clean and from rolling all over the place. What's great about this is that when we stop at EVERY rest stop - I place my work down and not worry about getting tangled and such. I've had way to many projects ruined to not take this avenue.
Going to the post prior to this one will show you how I manage to store all my stash is a neat, clean and almost out of the way... I do store my working project in quilted bags that my husband made me and then we hang the bag in the closet to keep it out of the way... (which I have a sneaky gift I am working on and so the closet rocks these days)...

Tip from our group - baggies. I use them faithfully now for my stash. I sort by color! Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteMost of my yarn stash is just tossed in a drawer, but I don't really have that much. I like the cheeseball container idea. That would be very helpful.
ReplyDeleteMy fabric stash, however, is a completely different story. You can see most of my stash here... http://heatherscustomsewing.blogspot.com/2010/08/mini-bolts-final-product.html
