Organizing and weighing my entire yarn stash [giveaway]

[@garnknuten]

*GIVEAWAY* How to enter: Like, subscribe and comment your favorite yarn under this video. I'll be giving away 3 yarn kits to 3 viewers in the EU. The giveaway ends 23rd of June at 23:55 [Helsinki time]. I'll be announcing the winners in the community tab.

[@Alice-by2mf]

I usually knit a lot of clothes and wearables so I prefer to knit with natural fibers such as cotton, wool, and alpaca. Yarn, especially natural fibers however gets expensive very quickly so I like to pick out a project first and then pick out my yarn. I also tend to gravitate towards buying 1kg cone yarn as it tends to be more budget friendly.

[@garnknuten]

Thanks for sharing Alice! 😊 I wonder if there's anywhere to get your hands on those 1kg cones here in Finland.

[@Dorien_vdl]

I used to crochet with acrylic yarn, but I'm loving Hobbi friends cotton yarn right now. I still use my acrylic yarn stash to make blankets and for amigurumi I'm using the cotton yarns. It was very satisfying to wach you organise your yarn, you never know how much yarn you have until you try to organize it. :D

[@garnknuten]

Happy you enjoyed the video Dorien! You're so right! 😂 Hobbi friends have a big and lovely color scheme. 😊

[@filipamc_knit]

I just found your channel and loved watching!! I don't have a lot of yarn but love to knit or crochet with Drops (wool or cotton). Recently I have found Hobbii yarns but only tried those on socks. Hugs from Portugal!! 😘

[@garnknuten]

Aaw happy you enjoyed the video. 🤗❤

[@angelinacrafts5385]

Went to pull out yarn for my next project and was overwhelmed by all the charity yarn I have right now piled up. Took multiple attempts too as the first two I pulled would not work with the dress I have. Ended up settling on Coboo in white. But I need to also jump into charity blankets again and work down the pile in the closet.

[@garnknuten]

You can do it 🤗❤

[@hedi5730]

So fun video! Thanks for doing a giveaway! So cool! I love all natural yarns, especially wool yarns.

[@garnknuten]

Happy you enjoyed it! ^^

[@zipper2385]

I think my favorite yarn has to be I Love This Cotton Yarn from hobby lobby. It’s just so soft for a cotton yarn, affordable, and always works up beautifully! ❤

[@garnknuten]

That's a new one for me, gonna try it out if I get a chance. 😊 Thank you for watching ❤

[@sueblaser14]

Hi, I too have a stash problem and I'm gonna make bags and storage bins with with strands of different colours held together. also cushion covers and stripy blankets are good for getting stash down 🙂

[@garnknuten]

That's some great ideas Sue! 😀

[@maaikevisser91]

So much yarn😍 I love your stash! Do you already made your own pillows? I have and it used up my yarn. I like to make amigumi with yarn and colors must have.

[@garnknuten]

Not yet! But I definately would like to make some colorful pillows. Amigurumis is my go to crochet too. 😊

[@nataliaszpera4881]

It was so calming to watch your video :)) I love yarns made by local artisans, the hand dyed ones are simply the most beautiful!

[@garnknuten]

Thank you so much for your feedback Natalia, happy you enjoyed the video. Hope to see you here on the channel more. 🤗❤

[@joycefernandezbaham8380]

I am currently working through my leftover yarn. I have quite a bit of your. I make blankets made from scrap yarn. The blankets turn out beautifully. It’s definitely nice to sort through your yarn and reorganize it.

[@garnknuten]

Hi Joy! Thank you for your comment. Yes it's definitely something cleansing with cleaning out and organizing your yarn stash. 😊

[@agujasenganchadas7237]

I live in the US and I've never used any of those yarns but the Alba looks lovely. Amigurumi are my favorite things to make. They bring such joy to people! That's for sharing. Warm wishes from the state of Georgia.

[@garnknuten]

Thank you for your comment! Sunny greetings from Helsinki, FInland. 🤗❤

[@Miksani]

That's a lot of yarn 🤭 I do really enjoy working with mohair, such a beautiful type of yarn, so many possibilities!!

[@garnknuten]

Yes... 😂 It really is! Can't wait to try and make an amigurumi in mohair! 😍

[@faithlinkministries]

I think you should knit it - you are only young there is lots of time - put them into colours you could start to fairisle?

[@garnknuten]

Oh a fairisle would be fun, maybe if I knit with 2 strands it wouldn't take forever. 😅

[@kristyprashanth4433]

My favourite yarn is Bendigo Woollen Mills 4ply cotton. I am also starting to experiment with some hand dyed 8ply wool yarns which I'm loving. I'm also travelling to Iceland soon and am looking forward to picking up some Icelandic wool from the Handknitting Association with which to make Amigurumi. ❤

[@garnknuten]

That's so exciting! Can't wait to see that amigurumi! 😍

[@VargenJ18]

That yellow yarn from bc garn is just lovely 😍 I think my all time favorite yarn is Indiecita from BC Garn. It's so soft and perfect for hats and cowls.

[@garnknuten]

It's a very nice yellow! Need to figure out a fun project for it. 😊 Oh that's one of their yarns I actually haven't tried yet!

[@crochet.byfrida]

Hi! I love how it all turned out in the end, so satisfying to see all the yarns organized by colour 🤩 I don't really have a favourite yarn yet. I usually buy whatever is on sale on Hobbii that fits the project I plan to do 🙈 Lately it has mostly been Rainbow cotton and Friends cotton.

[@garnknuten]

Hi Frida! Thank you, I'm really happy with how it turned out. 😊

[@MelsGunn]

That’s awesome, we have roughly the same sized stash 😂🎉 tho mine is def mostly wool

[@garnknuten]

Yay! 😂

[@annelilic]

All that yarn makes me drool hahaha Looks so pretty! And it turned out so nice! I think my favourite yarn is Hobbii Rainbow. Sooo many colours :D As for keeping the yarn. I’m the same. You never know if you suddenly will need that yarn.
The very thin yarn can be used for micro crochet :D :P

[@garnknuten]

Thank you, I'm really happy with how it turned out. Now I just need to start using it! 😂 Ouh I will never dip my toes into micro crochet. My brain couldn't handle that! 😂

[@brittanykrieger5828]

I love the Red Heart supersaver yarn. I have a huge stash and it is taking me a long time to use it with projects.

[@garnknuten]

Do you prefer knitting or crocheting Brittany? 😊

[@gabapoboc7299]

Hi! My favorite yarns are the most colorful ones, whether acrylic or cotton. I most like to make various grannysquares with them. Such a nice vibes form you, have a nice day!

[@garnknuten]

Colorful yarns are just the best! 😍

[@jokekiewiet]

Perfect video while finishing another Leopold with stash yarn. I can tell you I own more yarn then you 😂 and am on a mission to finish at least all of the yarn I only have a few from. Cotton, acryl and cotton/acryl blend I can keep because I use those all the time for amigurumi depending for who and what I make.

[@garnknuten]

Happy I'm not the only yarn horder here. 😂❤ That's a great project! I'm prohibiting myself from bying any more yarn now before I've used up at least half of it. 😅

[@fatifleur-it6os]

hi i'm so glad i found your channel today. I totally undestand the yarn addiction and hoarding habit. I have to say my favorute yarn these days is the cotton yarn from the brand drops paris. It's so fun to use especially in the summer season. 💖

[@garnknuten]

Welcome to the channel! ❤ Drops Paris has a lovely color scheme if I remember correctly. 😀

[@challedy9494]

seeing as I have always been using acrylic, broke student and so on xD I actually started using the Paintbox cotton Aran for shirts recently and I really like the way the cotton yarn feels, might try some different cotton yarn/cotton blends in the future :D

[@garnknuten]

I understand, at the end of the day, it's more important that we're creative with the materials and tools that we can afford at this point in life than not doing anything at all. 😊 If you like acrylic you might like some of the fluffy Sandnes wool yarns like Poppy. 😀

[@TballAtGball]

cool video! my favorite yarn was a $5 handspun tiny skein from a festival :) still idk what to do with it

[@garnknuten]

Maybe a mini amigurumi or a toes on a sock? 😊 Or just save it as decoration 😉❤

[@vichyljunggren5514]

Tack för en härlig video. Jag organiserade nyligen mitt garn eftersom jag hade på fem olika ställen i lägenheten. Jag gillar scheepjes cake-garn. Det blir så mjukt när man använder det.

[@garnknuten]

Åh vad roligt att du gillade den! ❤ Det är så skönt att organisera och försöka få en överblick över allt man har. Det var en hel del garner som jag helt glömt bort och en hel del garner som jag insåg att jag hade alldeles för mycket av. 😂 Har du något tips på hur man håller koll på sina garner då man har dem på flera ställen?
