Organising All The YARN!!! - Knitting Expat Podcast

[@pennylambert9983]

After I became an empty nester, I turned one of the bedrooms into a "Yarn Room"!! I have Ikea Kalax shelving, dressers and a closet that stores all my yarn, pattern books (yours is in there!), patterns and all my knitting/crochet tools needed-as well as a comfortable chair & ottoman so I can watch tv and enjoy my surroundings!! I feel very fortunate to have this space that is MINE and it truly is my place to go for positive energy, peace and joy❤

[@applecrafts615]

I love yarn organization videos. They're so fun. For me, I store my yarn in a shelving area in the corner of my craft room that way I can see what I have and shuffle the yarn around easily if I needed to.

[@LacedinStitches]

It's always fun to see how other people organize their yarn! I have a craftroom and mine is all stored on shelves so that I can see what I have. I do wish I had a glass cabinet like yours but the open shelves work just fine. I have two smaller bookcase type shelves for my wool and then another bookshelf and a cube shelf for my cotton and acrylic.

[@marywalton6900]

I have a wall of pull-out boxes. Mostly organised by project (of which there are over 60!), and then some extra boxes organised by weight of yarn. Of yes, and a handspun box or two. Love it all.

[@JuliaFewkes]

I love your organisation videos, I store mine everywhere ! under the bed, in the spare room,behind the sofa and in the tv stand.

[@mingfranks460]

My yarn is stored in many cabinets in my craft room. Yarn for specific projects are in separate bags, and then the rest of it is sorted by yarn weight. I also have quilting related supplies,so I’m really enjoying watching your organize to give me some ideas.

[@melbelle4017]

My son and I enjoyed watching you sort and re-store your yarn. I have some of my (too large) stash stored in cubes in my craft room, with labels for type, all in ziplock bags. The rest is stored in weathertight totes (those with gaskets) in the basement, also sorted by weight and then amount (single skeins, pairs, shawl quantities, sweater quantities, and a lot with patterns), also in ziplock bags. The spinning fiber and hand spin is also stored in the same ways.

[@Jerseymimi16]

Most of my yarn is stored in plastic bins in my bedroom closet. There's more in zippered bags that go under the bed. There is sock yarn and cotton yarn in the office closet in tote bags and a few skeins that are just hanging around the office to enjoy and think about. My granddaughter moved back into my creative arts room..... so no more storage to be found there! Thanks for the fun organizing video Mina and for sharing your yarn!

[@kathleenpineau832]

Hi. I am inspired to organise my crafting supplies. Thx. I store my yarn in giant bins in my second bedroom's closet. Sock yarn has a special Ikea basket to live in, also in that bedroom. Yarn in 2nd bedroom, weaving, embroidery, fluff for spinning everywhere else.

[@paulastevens6335]

I have lots of sock yarn! I store them in 4 antique dressers and an antique cabinet with glass front. The only separation is self striping hand dyed yarn, speckled hand dyed yarn, and commercial yarn/ opal yarn. I knit socks and mitered square blankets. I really enjoy your podcasts!

[@whatleighmakes9119]

Fab video, thanks Mina! I love seeing how people organise their yarn! I'd love a yarn room and a dedicated wall of kallax units for all of the beautiful squish, however space constraints!! One day I'll have a spare room to dedicate to my crafts! I store mine in a double wardrobe floor to ceiling (ikea pax) i opted for half drawers at the bottom (contains most of my fabric but not all) and half shelves and the white canvas bag / boxes that fit on the shelves (I thought this would be enough). My overspill yarn stash is in plastic boxes next to the wardrobe piled up currently! I have it subdivided into yarn for socks, accessories, garments / shawls, undecided etc. I also have a monthly yarn club for disney, and have also picked up odd skeins or had disney clubs from other dyers who only ran for a year - all of my disney yarns are together in plastic boxes. I have a lot of sock yarn stash so i have several boxes for sock yarn. I'm in the process of trying to add it all to ravelry at the moment, so i also have 2 random cardboard boxes of yarns i have added to stash but cant add to my normal storage because the places it would go have not been added to rav stash and i dont want some on rav stash and some not, it's a huge undertaking to add everything! Wish I had done it as i received stuff, not left it forever! I'm learning from my mistakes! I love having a nice stash, I find it so inspiring! (my clothes are in another pax wardrobe next to the yarn / fabric storage one!).

[@urbanstylejantine810]

I do have a designated craft room. I have a IVAR ikea cupboard with big plastic boxes, my yarn sorted in weight and handdyed or store bought. It is always fun to see how others organise their craft rooms!

[@mariaalejandracarrasqueroo6368]

I like this kind of videos! Now I want to go and play with my stash :) I have a Kallax unit from IKEA (4x4) in my living room that was originally mostly yarn, and in the past couple of years changed to mostly fabric as I started sewing as well… Now my most precious yarn is stored in two of the spaces, one for hand dyed, one for advents and minis, and then I have another for leftovers or partially used yarns (all with doors). Then, my cotton/crochet yarn is in another of the spaces (drawer), and any acrylic/for crochet is in boxes in the garage. I like how “crochet” yarn is separate and usually just cotton or acrylic, crochet is faster but knitting gets most of my handdyed yarn for sure ❤

[@carriegray7984]

I love seeing how people organize their yarn. Everyone's organization is very unique to how they use their yarn. 95% of my yarn is in bins in the walk-in closet in one of the spare bedrooms of the house. It is organized by weight of yarn, although I have a bin full of Sweater quantities of Fingering weight (I also run warm and a fingering weight sweater is what I need even in the depths of a Canadian winter) and the last 5% is almost exclusively sock yarn and it sits in a big basket in the TV room so that when I finish a pair of socks I can start another pair without needing to go downstairs.

[@adriannaer]

Oh, to have a whole shelf dedicated to handspun. Someday! It must feel nice to have your space more organized, and the cabinet looks lovely. My yarn is mostly in the guestroom/office in a couple of clear plastic tubs, cardboard boxes, and a big basket, nothing very exciting to look at. There's also a bowl of non-sock scraps on the piano in the living room, though I'd like to get that one cleared out as I finish some stashbuster projects.

[@Aechmay]

I store my yarn on an open shelf (well, I should really say "shelves") in clear plastic bags to save it from collecting dust. Usually, I organize it by hand dyed, weight, or brand. Nothing fancy or too exciting, but it does the job! I loved watching how you organize yours 😍

[@lyeng11]

Love watching your thought process for organizing your yarn. For my own yarn, I store them in waterproof totes by weight of yarn, and by usage. Ex. All fingering together, all worsted together. Also sort out those for project type. Ex. Sweater, scrappy, or weaving. Thanks for sharing :)

[@Hanneblack23]

I have really enjoyed seeing you sorting your yarn🧶 my yarn is sorted in boxes and bags in a large cabinet and I love it - I also have a drawer for some mohair and alpaca and commercial sock yarn 🧶

[@probablyknitting5052]

So glad to see this podcast and to see you again. I most of my wool yarn in huge tubs, they are marked for sock yarn, non superwash or special, and sport to chunky in another. All mini skeins are in a smaller flat tub so I can look through it easier. Cotton yarn is in a box also. Most of these have their location noted on my Rav page as about 99% of my yarn is listed there. It was the only way I could keep track of it over the years.

[@robynwoolnough5000]

Lovely to see how you sort and store your yarn Mina. I try to keep mine organised and in sealed bags or plastic bins, doesnt' always end up where it should!!!!!

[@lesliemorgan9234]

I have a yarn room for all of my crafting stuff. I keep the cotton for potholders and dish rags in plastic totes. My pretty hand spun, roving and sock yarn is all in a china hutch with glass doors so I can see all the colors. All of my baby blankets acrylic stash is kept in a wardrobe. and then the red heart I have for larger blankets and hats and such is kept in larger plastic totes with lid in the closet of that room.

[@DeerDesigns]

Love watching sorting videos, I have boxes under my bed and also on top of my wardrobe and a box of yarn in the loft of stuff that I know I’m not going to be using anytime soon, it’s mostly chunky yarns. My hand dyed yarn is in a kallax unit under my tv x

[@doreenmaclauchlan6697]

Fun to watch your efforts at organizing. My yarn is all over the house in bins, boxes, bags and drawers. I also have weaving yarns, mostly cotton on a shelf or two in my weaving studio and fibre waiting to be spun. I am working towards downsizing and trying not to feel overwhelmed.

[@janeedwards7193]

Ooh love a good stash sort out. Great finding yarns you forgot you had and re-admiring them. I store my yarn in ziplock bags in a Kallax unit. Mainly stored by yarn weight/type/purpose in the separate cubes 😊

[@llyon1834]

My yarn is mostly in a giant 5x5 IKEA cube system full of bins. I sort by weight and/or by fiber if I have an abundance of one type (such as wool, cotton, synthetics, etc). I have all sock yarn kept together because socks are an all the time thing, probably 2 full bins of full sock yarn skeins and a bin of the ends-bits. One cube is dedicated to sweater quantities and one or two cubes are for yarns I have set aside for specific “one-day-when-I-wanna” projects kept with the intended pattern. And to be honest, there are additional places around the house that somehow have yarn stashed there as well. (I may need a 12 step program…LOL) A friend recently told me that knitting is one craft/hobby and buying yarn is an entirely different hobby. Thank you for inspiring me to go through my stash and get a fresh look. Long time follower from the very first video and have enjoyed all of them. XOXO

[@acertainstyle]

My craft room is also my office which means I have to keep things tidy, but it's nice to be surrounded by my inspiration all the time! My yarn is stored (mostly) in three cubes of my Kallax unit. I bought the X-shaped dividers that slide in and I try and organise it by weight and by usage. I have a database telling me where everything is because some of it gets shoved to the back out of sight and I forget about it! I remember doing your Around the World in 8 socks, particularly love the New York colourway and the Dubai bundle.

[@robinporter8025]

I have bookcase with cloth bins and separate into cotton for dishcloths, summer garment yarn, knit picks palette, sock yarn, sport weight, yarn to be dyed.

[@MsChristinaMD]

I have my yarn stored in certain places based on their weight/content. My sock and fingering weight yarn is in plastic drawer carts under my desk. My acrylic is stacked neatly on my wire shelves. I also have other skeins stashed pretty much wherever it fits

[@nialaing6998]

My yarn is split between 2 drawers and a laundry hamper. I love looking at my yarn, it’s very calming

[@softycadence3340]

I bought tons of extra large hamper bags that close from H&M to store most of my yarns and the rest are in ikea storage bins with lids. I try to keep them separated by seasonal yarns so that I don’t have to rummage through them looking for cotton yarns in summer and wool for winter. Would love to make them more visible by using ikea bookcases but I like the fact that they aren’t subjected to harsh sunlight and environmental odors from cooking (or burning most times in my case). You did a great job in sorting and organizing your stash. Hope your knees recovered. 😊 What a lovely giveaway - such gorgeous bundles. Thank you so much for sharing them.

[@kbbryant6600]

Thanks Mina ... Enjoyed this!! I recently downsized and went through the same process. My yarn is stored by weight in plastic bins with lids which are housed in an antique armoire in my living room. My knitting chair is next to it.

[@hellomari]

Organisation videos are so satisfying to watch! Love it. I don't have a ton of yarn, but I store my nicest hand dyed skeins in a woven wool basket in the living room, and then I keep most of my non-hand dyed sock yarn and if I have a sweater quantity lying around in this leather briefcase thingy I got from my grandma's house that's also on display in my living room. The rest (mostly leftovers and some random bits and bobs) is just in a box in the office, in a Kallax 😅

[@jasminedee3960]

Half of my bedroom is my “studio” and there are wood shelves. My yarn is in bins on those shelves. The bins are clear so I still get to see the yarn. Go in and play with it/ err I mean sort the yarn 😅 once in a while to arrange the colors for mood and season. Loved seeing your yarn, thank you.😊

[@dawnerobins9854]

Enjoyed this video so much Mina ❤ honestly why is it so satisfying to watch others organize their stash ?!! My yarn is organized half “by project” … for the skeins I know what I want to do with and the other half “by weight”. We have feline and canine 🐈‍⬛ 🐕 family members so all my fiber is inside labeled bins 😊

[@jennekehersbach7344]

I store my yarn in a special cupboard behind our couch in the living room. So I can reach it easily when I want to knit on the couch. It consists of five by three drawers (but very deep ones). Love to store my yarn in them.

[@deyjaa2957]

Hello, I store my yarn in airtight bags in those cube boxes that fit in a Kallax shelf, sorted by handspun, sockyarn, sweateryarn and other random yarn.

[@leasimpleblog5705]

I love this topic! I have hit yarn organization nirvana with my current setup. I’m using an antique secretary desk. In the cupboards under the desk I have my yarn organized by weight in boxes. Inside the boxes they are separated in plastic/ zip lock bags I’m forever reusing. On the little shelves inside the desk are my upcoming projects in project bags. There’s a shallow drawer at the top that houses all the notions and needles. A basket on top for all the sock yarn (separated by quantity with more plastic bags). Everything is easy to find and protected (I also have lavender bags everywhere), but it is all camouflaged to the uninitiated 😂 Fiber is stored in a basket somewhere else, and scrap yarn in a blanket basket next to where I sit to knit.

[@tovalieberman8326]

Aaaahhhh organizing yarn can be SO overwhelming! I like that you have your yarns in a glass cabinet for visibility. I have my yarns stored in so many places (cabinets, under my bed, in my closet, and even in the attic) I’m thinking I need to do a collection and reorganization like this. You must feel so great after all this hard work!

[@seeandbeseen04]

I have quite a bit of yarn on an Ikea Kallax shelf and the rest of it is stored in plastic totes. I used to have yarn in almost every room of my apartment, but now I have it in the basement of my house, and yarn I am planning to use soon is in my living room.

[@toniabrock7677]

I have a few small cabinets where I store my commercial/ big box yarn. My indie dyed is on vertical peg racks I purchased from a retail space that was revamping their space. It’s like my own personal yarn store. Your yarn is beautifully displayed.

[@beequilted55]

My currently unused yarn is in plastic bins and stacked up in my bedroom closet. Current projects are in project bags stacked up near the chair I knit in. Plus, I have a medium packing box full of scraps that I'm not ready to part with. I used to have a dedicated craft room; now I live in a 1 bedroom apartment so consolidation is the name of the game.

[@gilliantherese7202]

My yarn is stored in 6 shelf hanging sweater organizers; 4 sweater organizers each on 2 garment racks. I have yarn in wicker baskets, plastic boxes & in a plethora of draw string bags. Needless to say, dried lavender & cedar balls are a must.😉💜

[@wendycudd4691]

I loved seeing your stash, mine is in containers under the beds all numbered and catalogued for easy fast retrieval.

[@nadiabarnett8795]

I have a craft room. My "nice" yarn is in plastic boxes in a big cupboard and my basic yarn is in a cube unit, organised by weight and colour. I love sitting and looking at it ❤️

[@teresaharp]

We were able to get a beautiful large wooden hutch at and a curio cabinet at auction for under 50 dollars. I was able to organize most of my yarn in those and I love it! I do have some wooden bookcases for the rest. It is in a small bedroom I use as my office. Makes me happy to look around and see all the color. Plus I still have open spaces lol.

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

I use a spare bedroom where I store yarn I'm not working with at the moment. I organize them by weight and fiber content. Then, downstairs I have cubbies with yarn by weight that I plan on getting into. By the way, I was one of your test knitters for the Snuggly Wuggly Shawl. I wore it at church on Sunday and I always get compliments on the pattern.

[@filipamc_knit]

I love this type of videos! They are so satisfying!! I store my yarn in two ikea boxes in a spare bedroom, it’s quite a small stash! 😏 Hugs from Portugal! 😘

[@janejohnston5591]

I just organized my yarn stash which is in a cupboard in my family room. I store WIPS in project bags and the rest in plastic containers. If I find that some has been sitting around for too long I donate it. I told my best friend and fellow knitter that if I drop dead she needs to come over and steal it all🤣. Love your podcasts! My son has been an expat in Korea, Japan and now Shanghai since 2008, we love to go and visit😍

[@LittleKnitWhit]

After moving this summer, I now have a closet in our guest bedroom. I still have my yarn in plastic tote bins by weight (sock and other). I do have some yarn specifically purchased for projects and I pre packed them in a reusable bag or project bag until I get to them. Active project bags are stashed around the house, car, my desk knitting at work while I watch modules or have virtual meetings… all the places one might need to knit 😂

[@andreakrebel8323]

I have 3 large bins in a closet. One has my fingering weight yarn, one has my worsted weight yarn, and one has yarn for specific projects. I also have a set of plastic drawers that has my bulky, DK, sport and lace weight yarns.

[@StitchingJoanne]

I store my yarn in the Ikea kallax (in the fabric boxes) in my 'CrOffice', stored by weight and stacked double so I can see all the colours quite easily. Now your yarn is more sorted, it'd be so interesting to see if you set any goals to get through some of your stash :)

[@theminimalknitter]

I keep my sock yarn in a plastic tote, my scraps are separated by hand-dyed/commercial/natural fiber and stored in plastic bags, and when I have a specific project I keep the yarn and pattern together in a plastic bag so it’s ready to go.

[@LittleMitchStitches]

I store my yarn in an antique hutch. It's one of my favorite pieces of furniture. It has 3 large shelves behind 3 glass doors, plus 7 drawers and other little spaces (including a wine bottle section that I haven't figured out how to use just yet). Top shelf is hand spun, fiber, and some WIPs. Middle shelf is DK to Bulky, plus some random bags. Bottom shelf is Fingering, Sport, and some more WIPs. The drawers are a bit unorganized. 4 drawers are yarn sorted mostly by weight. 1 drawer is tools (home tools, not knitting ones 😅), 1 drawer is project bags. And the last drawer has loose tissues that a toddler shoved into it. The track has to be renailed so that drawer doesn't usually get opened until I fix it. The rest of my yarn and projects are hopelessly unorganized in bags 😬

[@saskiakaul276]

I love organisational videos! They always inspire me to take out my own yarn an snuggle with alle the possibilities☺️ I store all of my sock yarn in a basket, and everything else in a drawer under the bed in the guest room. And I have a scrap jar☺️

[@RebeccaMakes]

My yarn is organized in big airtight plastic boxes. But then I ran out of boxes so now I have additional totes with a mix of different projects and one skein wonders 😊I know I have way to much but I justify it by thinking I need variety to be creative😁

[@KatieCannonDesigns]

I keep yarn pretty much everywhere around the house lol. I have a yarn cabinet in my studio space that I keep my deep stash. I have a couple of baskets by my chair in my bedroom that has yarn for projects that I am currently working on. I have all the other yarn in my bedroom in decorative storage boxes and vintage picnic baskets. so it is out of sight but really easy to get to. I keep all of my wool yarn in plastic bags to keep out any little creatures.

[@marlenadrew8334]

I store my yarn in big plastic bins with lids that fit tightly. One bin is for non-organic fibers, two for wool and wool blends, one small bin for mohair and one for cotton and cotton blends. I also have a number of packaged project kits to make and store those in a big plastic tub. WIPs in project bags are also stored in a big plastic tub. My yarn stash is my plan for immortality; I can't leave until I work up all my stash, and I keep adding to it! 😉

[@Jen-pr7zu]

Funny I should have this video pop up as I'm sitting in my craft room closet sorting my knitting books and decluttering. In this new to us home, I have a room with a good size closet dedicated to all of my crafts and projects. I store all of my fingering, sport and DK yarn in medium and small shelf tubs that are clear. I have sweater quantity yarns in splice bags that are compression bags. They live on the upper shelf. My blanket quantity acrylic blend is in the guest room next door, under the bed in a long zippered clothing storage bag. My wool worsted remnants are all in another bag of the same type on the other side of the bed. I have the vintage acrylic that was donated to me in a small footlocker also in the guest room. I'm not buying much yarn these days because I'm using my stash. It's been fun to make scrap blankets as gifts and with the bits I've collected over the last 12yrs or more, I will be making cozy blankets for my family for a long time❤

[@christianavance9124]

I just moved and will be using the process of unpacking everything to reorganize all of my yarn. I have a few storage drawers full of acrylic yarn and large bins full of wool yarns. I had a bunch of cotton yarn in space bags that hadn't been sealed properly and it was all destroyed by bugs along with most of the hand dyed yarn I had in a nice wooden storage box that also had to go because of the bugs. I plan to be a large bookshelf my mother bought me to display more of my yarn and keep a better eye on it now that I have space to spread things out.

[@annewright2605]

Inspired to sort my yarn out. Keep the yarn in project bags on shelves in the spare bedroom. Don’t have a huge stash only about 5 projects in the queue!

[@bonniemcgee6648]

I need to go through my yarn, love your storing ideas I definitely need to get my yarn in some kind of order like putting it together in one area of the house. I just picked up bins to store my yarn in.

[@ericasimpson7740]

Loved the video. Appreciated the company as I knit away! My yarn is contained in one room- my office. Mainly in plastic bags to keep bugs and dirt away, but it’s mostly just tucked away anywhere it fits!

[@3kleineschaapjespodcast]

Zo gun watching these kind of video’s thank you for sharing Mina 💕 we have a geest room and in there I have a big cabinet for all the yarn.

[@tishikinsyarnin2844]

My yarn stash is stored in my summerhouse generally split between weights and fibre. My natural fibres are stored in plastic boxes to deter our winged friends!

[@nikishashoulders8759]

I store my yarn in a yarn cabinet in my craft room. I'm so excited to have a dedicated space for my yarn now.

[@elainek2430]

I have a dedicated craft room (now that I’ve married off all my children). 😊. I store my yarn in cabinets as well as a cube unit with bins. Reorganizing is good - I usually end up finding things I forgot I had.

[@pamelavanstralen8419]

It is inspiring watching you organize your yarn….I store my yarn and spinning fiber, on IKEA shelves in bins….sorted by weights

[@AndreaJones13]

Most of my daughter's and my yarn is in bins. The bins are in our bedrooms and in the living room. We have some yarn in bags, it is for planed projects. The patterns, hook or needles are also in the bags.

[@CosyMrsR]

I used to keep my yarn in bags behind the sofa but now I’m fortunate and have a craft room in which I now store my yarn in fabric boxes in a cubbie unit and store it by weight 🧶

[@eijasalovuori267]

I like your videos. I store all my yarns in the plastic boxes in my craft room.

[@rosberrycrafts]

I love all the little stories about the yarn and where it is from.

[@bestimw]

I love the glass cabinet! I haven't had too much yarn, but i recently broke down and bought a set of plastic lidded bins. I thought as I put my yarn into them, "And so it begins..." 😄

[@wilsontiede7502]

I live in a rural area and have no easy access to yarn shops so my husband built some floor to ceiling shelves against my craft area in the basement. I have about 15 plastic storage bins lined up on the shelves. Most of my yarn was purchased from online sources. Sorted by fibre and weight.

[@joelwilliams5634]

I store my yarn in many cabinets and totes depending on what kind of yarn it is. So happy for you getting your yarn organized I will probably never get mine completely organized lol. Take care

[@marshamcfadden7968]

My yarn is mostly in my craft room in Ikea calex storage cubes. I do of course also have it stashed in other areas throughout my house. I'm trying to get it all into plastic zip lock bags to keep it clean.

[@junemiddlehurst7886]

I store my yarn in plastic boxes to keep it all safe ,love to watch your videos Mina x

[@heathertucker7056]

Really enjoyed watching this! My yarn stash is a fraction of yours Mina but I have dedicated this year to using up a lot of deep stash- which I have managed to do. I like to do some charity knitting to donate to refugee and displaced people. I store mine in boxes and zip lock bags in an IKEA kallax unit. I separate sock/ hand spun and sweater wool. I only have a corner of a bedroom since down sizing but using up some stuff has helped!

[@sandylynn8688]

Nice work!! I have shelves, bins, boxes, trunks, closets, bags…oh my..it’s a sickness I’m sure!!😂😂🧶

[@jennyanderson2082]

I am lucky enough to have some large storage cupboards in my house. I keep all my wool yarns in Really Useful boxes in one of the cupboards. In my sewing room I have a built in wardrobe which has an IKEA wire basket unit where I keep any acrylic yarns and cotton yarns, plus all my me made spare project bags. I also have dyed quite a few yarns myself and they live in another two Really Useful boxes. Like everyone else though I have knitting and crochet projects in bags dotted around the house so that when I have a few minutes spare, I can do a couple of rows. My main project is always in a bag on the sofa ready for evening TV watching. Happy knitting everyone this festive season. I am looking forward to watching your Vlogmas Mina.

[@anitasloane9628]

I put shelves on my bedroom wall and use cubes with clear fronts. I mainly store by weight.

[@suzettegaybba-vanzyl6484]

Love love the road of yarn organising I done it a few weeks ago in a lazy Sunday afternoon. My merino and natural yarns stays with wips in a cupboard of my belated mother in law and all the acrylics stays in plastic bin or two😅 The luna yarn self Stripe look awesome The blue socks yarn will be beautiful in Lace archway pattern I

[@hazelmorris678]

Well done for sorting your yarn. I have a really nice gas lift bed for my yarn storage hubby idea and works well. Double bed. Still have a glass cabinet with my special bits in spare bedroom tho. 😂🧶x

[@jeliwii]

Great video ❤ I have a large bedroom that'd big enough to have a bed area and craft area in (separated by a table). I keep my stash in clear boxes that have zips on the top and bottom, they also fold flat when not in use (but that never happens 😂) They are great for yarn and fiber. I get them from b&m. Everything is stored by weight.

[@idabostrom1984]

Hi. I sort my yarn in boxes in two kallax shelfs from IKEA. I also have some yarn around my room at my office. My colleague says it is the most cozy room in the house.

[@joanjensen2680]

I store my yarn in plastic totes in a cupboard in my craft room. Love your videos

[@kerrybarrick1046]

My yarn is stored in organza bags in cube boxes in an Ikea Kallax unit in my craft room/office!

[@patriciadent8569]

Always look forward to your podcasts 💕I store my yarn in bags , and they’re in the top cupboards of my kitchen ( as i find them too high to use for kitchen stuff, need a step ladder to reach!)

[@lovannahsirois4932]

My yarn is stashed in my "walk-in closet, sewing room, weaving room, yarn slash everything room" 😂 mostly sorted yarn vs cotton linen, then by yarn size. also my hand dyed yarn gets its special corner...in retrospect, I could use a separate house/she shed for carfting and yarn storage 😉

[@knittyweeza]

My pretty yarns are in two open cubes so i can see them. The rest is in fabtic drawers that slide into cube storage.

[@sarahbrockhausen6657]

Gosh there never is enough storage is there! My yarn was in two large tubs but I wanted to be able to see what I had instead of having to dig through where I thought I remembered seeing something, so currently I have 6 of the small ornament carriers with more current yarn in them...and everything else is in one tub. But there might be a bag or a box or two of yarn stacked in my bed room too.....

[@scrapfaireknits2772]

I have a sort of work officer and craft studio in my basement. I have some interesting storage tubs I recently acquired that stack and open from doors in the front, back and top if needed. I haven't quite gotten them sorted but this made me get back to work on it! Thank you!

[@S.RMarigold]

This video reminds me that help… I should sort through my stash. I store my yarn in bins designed to fit in my Kallax units from Ikea. On top I have plastic containers with random weaving yarn sorted into colors. I am lucky that my children have grown up and flown the nest leaving me with a craft room where I can weave, spin, knit and crochet and shut myself away for a few hours.

[@conniealman3237]

My yarn is stored in a cabinet with afghan qualities in plastic tubs. I find I keep it more organized by dividing it up. You gave me ideas on storage and how you divide it up. Thanks. 🤓

[@lorainelockwood9359]

I weirdly enjoy watching yarn sorting/wip sorting/frog or finish type podcasts! They tend to inspire me. My yarn is stored literally in every corner of our bedroom in clear storage boxes mostly. In theory it should all be easy to view but always tends to get in a mess! Xx

[@debcampbell710]

I have a cabinet for wool and divide it up into sock and ply’s. My second cabinet is cotton and crochet and a third space is for acrylic. They are smaller cabinets. I love your glass cabinet, maybe in my next life!😊

I love watching your videos! Thank you for taking the time. I store my yarn in my guest bedroom in several garment bags. I would love to have a better system where I could see what all I have but alas I do not. I have a thorough sorting session about once a year where I make a list of possible projects. I am about due to go through everything soon, I have a couple of projects I would like to cast on.

I store my yarn in plastic storage bins with gaskets.. My bins are in my basement on shelving. Mostly sorted by weight. The fingering weight is sorted by self striping and socks sets and hand dyed or commercial.

I am lucky to have a craft room where I store my yarn in bags in the wardrobe but you will still find project bags in the basket by my chair in the lounge. 💜

I have a dedicated crafting "space", it's not really a room, more like a nook between two other rooms. But any way, I keep my yarn organized by weight (so I have a bin of worsted, dk, sport and handspun. And then several bins of fingering weight yarns), and then in clear rubbermaid bins. Right now, they'll all just lined up against a wall because I like having immediate access to them. I could put them all in a closet, but I like to have them out so that it's more playable.

Before I renovated my basement nailed milk creates on the wall and put my yarn in the milk create designed shelves. Now until I find a way to do it again I have a large suitcase with hand dyed yarn and the rest of my yarn is located in public storage in large plastic bins.
