I love it when people organize their yarn im obsessed with watching them im actually a beginner to crochet i have done 3 projects till now and i ran out of yarn and i dont really get alot cuz i have a low budget but hopefully in the future when i start working on more serious projects i will have more :))

[@yunjko]

You can get yarns from old sweater.

[@cierraescobar9408]

Dollar tree yarn is also pretty good to use for beginners. I started knitting and crocheting last year and the rolls are only a $1 and some change so it's good prices for beginning.

[@angelinemakes]

[@lornasharp4541]

Fab video. You should treat yourself to a yarn winder, it keeps the open balls of yarn tidy and, in my opinion, takes up less room x

[@balancingbookworm4111]

It really does I have one and it has saved me

[@marthamerrill2457]

I have one too and it keeps my yarn from tangling and it's easier to store your yarn.

I do this and it’s so much easier to store!

[@DeathKnellPresents]

I came here to comment this. - so bulky to store without making yarn cakes. - get a winder and you won’t have as big a problem to deal with. 😅or maybe a bigger one, once I wound my stash I realized I had more space to fill. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@andikelley2295]

Honestly I applaud you for storing so much yarn in your college housing. I only ever had less than 10 skeins of yarn in my dorm (the rest was at my house lol) and even that was a pain sometimes

[@bunnyrabbit8207]

This so reminds me of my yarn stash. Tiny room, more yarn than space. Its amazing how we manage to fit it all

[@katiebeingcreative]

Yay! I love seeing other people’s yarn stash and how they organize it!

[@courtneynuestro4519]

It is awesome to see another crocheter in college!!! Thanks for sharing these awesome organization ideas!!!

[@dfsgirl]

I lived in a studio apartment for years after moving from home. This is exactly how I stored my yarn, under the bed storage is wonderful. Now I have a two bedroom house so I can have a craft room but it took time and work. You will get there :)

[@MarshmallowSketches]

I have a 3x3 block IKEA storage unit in my room and I use it to organize my yearn by color. The first block is Red-Pink, second is Yellow-Orange, third is green, fourth is blue-purple, and fifth is white-tan, and sixth is black-grey. It’s not too full rn because I have to restock soon but I keep everything relatively organized

[@sophier.7922]

omg the big bulk balls of yarn are sooooo huge 😱 such a great idea to store them under your bed for extra space!!

[@lovinqq6250]

Omg when I say I have a lot of yarn gurlll you have so much more! I love your stash and all the colors!!

[@impatientclothing6709]

I love to buy my yarn at my local thrift store because it’s always $1 I also love getting sweaters from the thrift store to unravel if i like their yarn! {i live in a southern state where it’s 90° F or hotter year round so the sweater section is always overflowing} For storage I use one of those cube storage shelf’s from target so i can see it all and it surprisingly holds a ton! I have the one with 6 cube spaces and it’s perfect for my space! :)

I use XL vacuum storage bags. I had 4 huge totes that were too big to fit anywhere. Now I have two vacuum bags that fit under my bed. They are clear so it’s easy to see what’s inside and they are reusable.

Im currently working on moving out of my dorm in two weeks so this was perfect timing to tell me to clean out my stuff and finish up partial projects

[@eugeniaread2724]

You have done a fantastic job! A few suggestions for you to consider. Purchase a yarn winder to cake the unlabelled yarns and save even more space. Also, if you have access to a digital kitchen scale and calculator, you can calculate how much yarn is left for the unlabelled yarns. I did all this with the help of KZbin videos and was amazed how much space became available. Hubby bought a winder for me and after he saw how much more space there was he bought me more yarn. Loved watching your video!

[@brittanymeza9287]

First of all, love you and your content. Best discovery of 2020. Second, I can’t remember if you have a ball winder (if not you can buy one decently priced on Amazon) they are an amazing investment. It helps shrink your yarn back into a smaller skein and it saves a ton of space! (Plus it keeps your yarn from ending up in a tangled mess later)

[@mommyeatz]

thank you i needed this reminder

[@ArmchairChef]

Hi, i feel your pain, though im not in college, im in a one bedroom apartment and my yarn is my "wallpaper" and set up on 6 plastic shelving units. I do have a suggestion that i do with smaller almost used up skeins that are more of a mess. I put them in ziploc bagsj ($1 at dollar tree) so they don't get tangled with other yarns. i have all mine separated by colors and weights... good job utilizing your small space and clear trash bags work well too. I also use round containers from dollar tree to separate my projects to keep them from getting mixed up, i stand the yarn up with the center pull and don't have to remove them to work on my project. good luck on your studies and so glad you are working towards your goals.

[@LOLgal96]

Girl, we’re not even gonna talk about what my yarn collection looks like 😂 you’ve definitely inspired me to invest in better storage cause I need it!!

[@praalgraf]

organisation ugh my love

[@bridgetlene1732]

For the blanket yarn, you could make a crazy blanket, if you wanna use it up and just pick a cool stitch and go with it, change colors whenever it feels right. If you weigh it you can calculate how much you'll use and therefore what size to make (starting chain)

[@JaeyunYD05]

I haven’t crocheted anything since before my exam season so I’m definitely gonna crochet more this summer

[@abadip0535]

I love basic stitch and big twist ohh my gosh Great vid!!

[@Nichet.Crochet]

I keep all of my yarn in a 6-foot tall cabinet! I bought a metal one online for $300 (don't ever buy one made from the cheap cork stuff, you can't move without completely breaking it!) and since I run a crochet business I have found it helpful for storing my $1,000 worth of yarn :D (it also takes up much less space than it sounds because its mostly just tall.)

Loved seeing all of the organization! I recently went through my stash and wound up all of my skeins with a ball winder! It was only, like, $26USD or so on amazon and ohhhh boyyyy it's such a great investment. Cakes/balls help with neat organization so much, I definitely recommend grabbing one for yourself!

[@kaylainthetwist]

You should make a big scrap blanket with all of that soft bernat blanket yarn 😍 and I store my yarn in my chaise lounge that doubles as a treasure chest of sorts (I also don’t have tons of space) but it works well!

[@Grace-Grace-]

I got those metal cubes you build yourself on Amazon they can be built in several ways so it is useful in all kinds of spaces so maybe consider that for your room at home? They are only like $30 a box and a box gives u like a lot of cubes. If you build it so it is open in the front and back like the ikea cubes you can get an extra 2 cubes instead of building it the way they says w one opening. Since yarn is not heavy I did this and it has been fine! I built a set of cubes in my closest that store my massive collection of yarn, it’s really bad...I could open a shop honestly but it is my therapy to collect yarn lol I works very stressful job and I work a lot of overtime every week and even if I can’t crochet that day...just looking at and touching pretty yarn helps. I am considering changing the whole thing so the is yarn out on display in my office and not in my office closet but right now I don’t have the time for the make over so maybe this summer! I like your soft under bed storage because I bet it fits more than the firm ones I have for clothes! Good job!

My mom and I are not only crafters we are collectors, so our craft supply collection sometimes grows exponentially lol. I had to start walking around the craft store without my wallet (or my boyfriend who while he supports my creativity also reminds me I don’t have the money to keep expanding my collection). Without a money source in my pocket it requires that I truly consider if I need/want what I am about to buy lol.

i love videos like this so much, yarn hauls, yarn stashes, its just so satisfying to watch omg. but it always makes me wanna go yarn shopping, which is bad for my bank account dkjfskfd. also those under the bed storage bins are super smart! i love how they zip closed too! if yarn gets dusty and gross, it is so hard to clean it up,,,,,, i have a cube shelf in my room, with these little fabric bins, and they perfectly hold my usual brand (caron simply soft), like i can put the skeins in vertically, 4 by 4, and then an extra 3 or 4 skeins on the top laying down. so i have 3 bins full of whole or almost whole skeins, and i have one bin with all the skeins that are like, 3/4 left or less, yknow. even that isnt enough space sometimes though kdjfsdk. i just bought lion brand's skein tones, like 1 of almost each color, and those are still in the box on my floor, cause idk where to put them lmao. im also kinda weird about mixing yarn brands, so like, i dont wanna put different yarns in the same bin. so thats a problem i made for myself, but whatever sdfkjsdfj

[@HandleToWatch]

What kind of yarn were those big skeins on the left? The yarn looked to be size 4 or 5 but that skein was huge! It looks so soft too

[@Morgan-ol9tm]

If anyone is crocheting on a budget, I would recommend the Main Stays yarn from Walmart! It’s only $2.50 for 397 yds (363 m) of 100% acrylic yarn. I pretty much only ever use 4 weight yarn, so this is perfect. But, my close second favorite yarn is the Red Heart Super saver yarn, which you can also get from Walmart. Finally, if you’re on the hunt for a good quality super fluffy yarn, I absolutely love the Yarnspirations Bernat Velvet Plus yarn. My favorite thing about this yarn is that it hardly sheds at all, which I’ve noticed in many other fluffy yarns. Hopes this helps!!!

Hi Anna! Hope you're doing well, girl. ☺ Love that you did this. If you wanna see about optimizing small spaces, see if you can get a ball winder for the used balls of yarn.
