You know those plastic crates store have? Well,,,,,, I have 57 of those full of yarn! So, ummm,,, I have no business judging anyone about their yarn stash! Lol!!! In my defense I have collected yarn for 40 years! I've kept it covered, clean, safe! None of it is harmed! I have made 32 blankets so far and many smaller projects. Ill be donating it all to the senior citizens when I pass on as I have terminal cancer. That it will be used makes me happy! 😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@emz.stitches]

I bet you have some pretty cool yarn though 😍 aww that is a sweet way to donate the yarn. I’m sure the senior citizens will be so happy to get to create with it. Sending love 🩷

[@robbieoverby1694]

It was fun watching you find all the treasures!!

[@sylviac2631]

I love untangling yarn! It's like a puzzle.😂

[@ZimVader-0017]

I need to organize my yarn stash too. I dont have as much because i dont have much space for it, but I definitely have a bunch of tiny scrap balls scattered between three bins. I usually try to untangle as much as I can, but if it starts knotting, the scissors come out 😂

Hi my name is Alice and I'm a yarn addict...but I don't see it as a problem🤫. What I did was I winded all of the yarn (tags inside the yarn) and since my hubs and I finallyt became empty nester we or I have more room to organize my stash. You got this friend. Happy holidays my peeps🎄

[@emz.stitches]

Hi Alice ☺️ yarn is great!! There’s definitely no problem with having lots of yarn. I just was shocked I had so much when I finally put it all together 🤭 also for me, I’m running out of space to put it haha. Winding it is a good idea!!! Happy Holidays to you too 🥰

New subscriber here! I keep all my in 30 qt totes. I just moved too, and I took the opportunity to reorganize, destash, and inventory. Ugh. I’m down to 10 totes of natural fibers stash (1 fingering, 3 DK, 4 worsted, 2 bulky), 4 large WIPs in totes, 3 smaller WIPs in bags, and 8 Kallax cubes full of my acrylics. Frogged a couple of WIPs I was never gonna finish and feel a *ton* lighter now. I’m on a “shop from my stash” mission this year too! I’d really like to get down by, say, a third of my current stash by the end of the year. Might be a pipe dream. 😊

[@IamCherylHAYES]

Lol I said 10 bins. Ur still doing good. I have 50 and they are all full 😮

[@emz.stitches]

Oh wow!! The so much yarn 😍😍😍

[@cathiesmith0812]

Mine is just in bags all over in our bedroom. I fell ya.

[@mish3595]

I sorted mine out too, mine was in bags. I got another two storage bins. I got to at least detangle frog projects and in one bin I put all my scraps and used skeins. and two I used for new balls. and sorted my projects in carry bags that zip closed. They're smaller bins that fit under my bed so it's not a huge collection but it got bigger than I could handle and had to organise it 😂

[@cde423]

I'm always so impressed with how many Pattern Tests you manage to do! I can't wait to see this scrap test!!❤

[@emz.stitches]

I have a love/ hate relationship with deadlines 😅 after this one, I need a long long break from having a deadline to make something 🩷

[@lolirichardson]

Untangle is the more fun for me 😊

[@ScraptasticCrocheter]

hello! going to be fun to see what you do with your scraps!

[@Macroche]

I untangle what I can but I get irritated if it’s too much so I cut it 😅

[@emz.stitches]

Yes!!! It’s not worth the irritation ☺️

[@brittanykrieger5828]

1,982 scrap yarn skeins. I am making a scrap blanket.

[@NamiNaeko]

IM SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU ON KZbin ♥

[@rosea9375]

Can't wait to see what you make with the scraps.

[@emz.stitches]

🥰🥰

[@ireneflores2873]

I showed my Mexican grandma (who used to crochet) how much yarn you have and her exact response was “Santa Maria” 😂

[@emz.stitches]

😂

[@lisabowman8953]

I try to untag it and some times my daughter Jen helps me with the untagging.

[@cathiesmith0812]

I need to do the same thing.

[@tashacano3324]

Untangler here. Hate hate hate cutting my yarn but also I'm anal about only working on one project at a time then dealing with my ends before restashing.

[@cathiesmith0812]

I absolutely love cotton!

[@emz.stitches]

Me too!!

[@cathiesmith0812]

@@emz.stitches there's a new guy in KZbin and his channel is: Juan The Yarn Addict. I'm absolutely floored by the way he has his yarn organized! He has some new tetorials. You ought to check him out. Tysm for sharing. I thoroughly enjoyed it and you. Have a great day!

[@natalyaheasley568]

Untangler here lol

[@alishaj6367]

I love Big Twist too! Their colors are so vibrant. Also, the sound of the yarn hitting the floor is sending me 😂

[@lara.mixa_]

Can I just ask why haven’t you use the knitting machine yet? I’m planning to buy one, so any problems with it or just no time? Thank youu :)

[@emz.stitches]

It’s a mix not getting around to it + I’m a little nervous/intimidated to venture into the knit world. I want to open my sentro soon though! I was thinking about making a video of opening it and my first times using it, stay tuned ☺️❤

[@hookedbydonean]

❤🇨🇦

[@Kat-Knows]

U are so melo about about ur yarn tangles.

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

Just throw that yarn girl!! 😂 hard to hear your quiet voice with the music playing.

[@emz.stitches]

Thank you for letting me know about the sound!!! I will make sure to raise it in future videos, I tend to be a quiet talker (+ loud background noise) is not a good combo ❤❤

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

@@emz.stitches having no music at all is best when you're talking but it's become a "trend" to have music playing I think.

[@kayceegreer4418]

Can't hear ya!

[@emz.stitches]

Thanks for letting me know, I’ll make sure to lower the background audio next video 🫶🏻
