I have a yarn problem | PassioKnit Vlog

[@Lauren_P_]

I’d love to see a video of you redoing your yarn room with more storage. I realize that’s a big project, but if you’re thinking about doing it, I’d definitely watch.

[@StarshineLegacyFan]

I'd watch too.

[@tiffanyboothe5304]

Is that Joanne’s online?

[@thelooperator-0320]

Wake up y’all the crochet queen posted again

[@AbigailEscobedo-j3i]

🎉yesss🎉

[@HorsesForLife11_thg]

I’m awake, even though it’s 4:09 am….

[@Trigillia]

Kelsie single handedly keeping Joann afloat!

[@meganberk6072]

Buying in bulk something you use often is great! But as someone who also lives in a small space it can be so hard. For those big amounts you should invest in some stackable clear plastic tubs to help keep yourself organized. I think you could make it work in the space you have right now, within limits.

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

Great point!

[@LifeGivesYouClemmons]

I love the square cubes on Amazon that lock together and you can rearrange them however you want.

[@JansmaIvy]

You could potentially even stack the boxes the skeins come in sideways and make it work like the shelves behind you, with the skeins ‘lying flat’. If you can’t immediately buy a new shelve or tubs.

[@LifeGivesYouClemmons]

@@JansmaIvy yes! Great idea :)

[@OllieBunz]

If you're struggling to keep things in stock, it may be time to raise your prices! Especially for your scrunchies. You could definitely raise them to 2 for $8 at least!

[@MichelleNaomiConner]

I agree! I was definitely surprised how low priced they are!

[@val_115]

Agree!

[@jordannnk]

I think a custom color scrunchie listing would also be a great idea I feel

[@juliettealexander8537]

Especially when you take into account the JC yarn is $9.99 and she can only make 3.5 scrunched out of one skein. She barely covers her cost of supplies. (I say this with love and amazement, not judgment).

[@OllieBunz]

@juliettealexander8537 That was my thought exactly! I personally would sell them for $5 each due to the yarn price alone and the extreme demand for them. I worry for her hands and wrists as well!

[@barijade]

I love that we're just here to help you justify your yarn spending. I need a friend like that in my life. I just gotta argue with myself LOL

[@efecka89]

This is a clear sign that a cratfroom reorganisation is the necessary next step. And we are all excited to see your ideas.

[@GraceMariex3]

I feel like at this point you should do monthly drops for scrunchies. Make what you can in a month and post them on your website at the end of the month. I’m sure they will sell out quick but then you won’t have to worry about constantly restocking. Just a thought. Love your videos and your work!

[@tdewtx]

I started watching you about 3 months ago, and with the amount of yarn, and the sales that you have I think buying in bulk would be smart as your profit would be so much higher. You deserve that Work smart, not hard.

[@kendrakaltenecker7180]

Kelsie you’re not crazy 😂 bulk would be smart! I love watching your videos and tutorials!

[@Justheretochill-xk9td]

11:10 **Watching this as I am on my couch with a pile of yarn working on a granny square blanket** Never stopped me before😈🧶

[@afh9883]

I'm commenting this as I'm watching the video. Oh no Kelsie, don't tell me you bought the yarns in bulk 😮. You're gonna need more shelves 😂.

[@EnglishBreakfast607]

"babe wake up, Passioknit Kelsie just dropped a new video!!"

[@darkoaktree7691]

I wonder if bulk purchased yarn would vacuum seal well? It could REALLY cut down on the amount of space it would take up, and vacuum bags aren’t super expensive. You could vacuum seal the majority of each color, write down what’s in each bag, and then pack those away to pull out over the next few months. (I’m still early in the video, so idk if this will still be relevant by the end? But I’ve used vacuum bags for non yarn stuff before, and they’re great!)

[@divinebonkers]

Nawt me stopping the NASA total solar eclipse livestream to watch kelsie 🥺❤️ god I am WHIPPED

[@janas.5702]

If you are satisfied with the yarn and it is one of your bestselling colours just go for the bulk - you will use them for sure 😊

[@thecatlimitdoesnotexist]

I feel like most of us regular watchers of your channel usually leave the craft store with more something 😂 be that yarn, hooks, or other goodies. I support your yarn problem! Sometimes the yarn just jumps into the cart and it has to come home with you 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

[@Jzy21]

Three words, vacuum, sealed, bags 😉

[@sueblaser14]

I love watching you packing up your orders lol!

[@jennyy.8596]

It's so satisfying to watch. 😅😊

[@CrowShayHook]

Honestly the bulk order in the strawberries and cream lily yarn might be worth it since it seems like you use that one all the time.

[@JansmaIvy]

“If I’m correct, in my assumption that I’m amazing”. Best line 😏

[@GaylaKolb]

I love your attention to detail as you pack up your orders. They would be attractive and exciting packages to receive.

[@andhalped]

better profit margins is always great!

[@sylviawitcheecomrie37]

That's an amazing price. A smart decision. I definitely would. I'm constantly searching for lily sugar n cream in the Uk. I can't go into a craft store without buying yarn. That yarn is pretty

[@danicav212]

I think you’ll love working with the carousel yarn. I found it super soft and lovely to work with. I made a child’s cardigan in the blue mix from the free pattern from Michael’s.

[@aennes07]

I think a yarn organization video should be coming soon! Making all your yarn visible might help with keeping it in stock (and it would be fun to watch)

[@teysa.k]

that "oh no" spoke to my soul lmao

[@pialynn9619]

I honestly always thought it was crazy you don’t buy in bulk. Like not only the price but the work of always keeping track, placing new orders, picking them up etc.

[@samibehrens1205]

Love that you listen to morbid!

[@MariaMunoz-Nebbia]

Yeah, keep them coming! I love watching your videos. You have inspired me to go back to crocheting after about4 years! I am presently making a cardigan with a hoodie from your tutorials! Thank you, Kelsie ❤😊❤

[@BlakePesetsky-yu7gv]

this is way too relatable. I have a yarn problem too xD

[@hnelson5609]

YOU SO SMAAAAHHTT! I think of you every time im in walmart! The cotton cones are $5-$7!!! Not every color but a good amount of colors.

[@barbwissmann5576]

Buying in bulk for yarn would be the smartest thing for you to do. Experience the joy. Click that button. New creations await. Plus you can show the unboxing. Just do it. ❤

[@strawberrymiss869]

The bulk yarn order! So wild;; but also doable with the amount of scrunchies you churn out!

[@sambeawesome]

I have an art supply problem. And since I've gotten into crochet. I too now have a yarn problem. Lots of problems xD

[@knittingnana2939]

We go through zip loc bags and facial tissues like crazy so i order cases of them through dollar tree. Works great.

[@ludapop]

I'm really not the person to give advice on this (bc I impulse buy too often) but I think buying in bulk to save THAT much money is a great idea!! The yarn WILL be used even if it takes a bit!

[@Cro.chetlaura]

I love your vlogs! Such an inspiration ❤

[@mjbalsitis]

The other thing you could do is compare retailers such as Joanne's, Herrschners, etc to see if they all have same pricing and shipping costs. Buying in bulk with all the yarn you use is totally worth it! Take care of those hands girl ❤

[@Splenzy189]

I love your videos They are so inspiring ❤

[@kaitlinannwright24]

This vlog went up today of you packing my order and my order is out for delivery today! Nice timing!

[@lesparza1981]

I don't have a lot of extra money but I wanted to support you and bought two schunies. Love them so much thank you and love love the content

[@AnaNicole1225]

There's a saying why they went to the mountain ... "BECAUSE IT'S THERE". That also applies to you buying the yarns in bulk because you'll have plenty for the viewers to buy because "IT'S THERE"... I hope it makes sense 😉

[@GaylaKolb]

Your purchase of yarn makes total sense! Too bad you can't purchase different colors!

[@carissa4081]

This was fun to watch! The back and forth is very similar to me but you definitely made the right choice as you will use all of that yarn. As others have said, you could easily raise your scrunchie prices somewhat too. Anyway, fun video!

[@TiaSaxon-sm3yq]

A thing I've always been told is to use up loads of wool so u have more room to restock on wool and it gets u excited for when u go yarn shopping xx

[@mirileila.fiberart]

Come on Girl, up the Price for the scrunchies … like just 2€ or so ❤ its handmade ❤ 🎉

[@rachaelbarnes9517]

You could try using a vacuum sealer for storing bulk yarn because it compresses it so much you'd be able to store much more of it...

[@christykaderman6484]

I keep my project in a container so i can move them around . Right now im using a home depot bucket. If ur able to center pull the yarn its perfect

[@marilyninch3759]

If it were my business, I’d be buying it all wholesale (probably from the manufacturer instead of a third party) and line my walls with shelving to contain it. You’d save a bundle.

[@forfred_au]

Love your vlogs! :) I buy all my yarn wholesale/bulk now, it's so much cheaper! Storage is hard, I live in a small apartment, but vacuum sealed bags are my friend, as are stackable tubs. Cube storage shelves from Ikea or similar are great as well; I've filled walls with them before. If no one has mentioned it before, Ice Yarns (in Turkey, where I get mine) do great wholesale pricing as you're getting it directly from the manufacturer. They don't have the exact brands you use but they have a tonne of similar ones.

[@TillIGetToYou]

Id love to see some of those orange/pink neon colours used in tops, I think they would be epic.

[@sixisok]

Interesting that both Michael’s and Joann both have a carousel yarn. I’ve only used the Big Twist carousel, but I need to check out the Loops and Threads! The pink lemonade color way is so cute!! I do recommend the Big Twist carousel, though! I’ve knitted up a few hats with a few colors and it’s so much fun to see what color combos are coming next. My first hat was in the color limestone and it was like it didn’t follow any sore of color pattern. It was pretty random, but it turned into such a gorgeous hat! 😊

[@PamelaSpade]

I like Loops and Threads medium weight yarn; very nice! That 5-weight yarn is very pretty; if you make scarves or hats with that I think they would sell immediately! I think it would be worth your while to try a 60- unit order of the strawberry Sugar and Cream yarn; you seem to use a ton of that!

[@ronnelcamposano9444]

this video is me justifying my yarn purchase hahahaha. i love contemplating getting extras then not use them immediately, and get more extras.

[@rosaalbert9755]

I must thank you for the scrunchie tutorial. I made one Saturday it was super easy and fun. Funny thing I bought my yarn from the Dollar Tree. Since they have random yarn at the 4 I visit in different towns. 😂

[@catiecross5473]

I made scrunchies out of the carousel twist!!! They came out great and super cute!

[@aliciamessina2923]

Another great vlog👌🏼. Happy to see you’re making a lot and selling a lot! Can’t wait for that yarn stash organizing/declutterring video

[@HodgePodgeCrochet]

Don't wish for inventory. Inventory is business death. As long as you're making and it's flying out the door, all is well. Once it starts sitting, you have a problem.

[@Sharkeyscrochetcarnival]

The carousel yarn is so good to work with and it goes so smoothly. It works up super fast and it's squishy and soft.

[@traciperdue]

I love that carousel yarn is wonderful. I made a sweater using it and it’s so squishy. I think you got a wonderful deal on the yarn. Hope you’re having a good evening!!!❤

[@SoKatyLeigh]

I totally understand on feeling stressed out with yarn covering my desk. Messy desk = messy mind for sure! The best investment I made was a little pink three tier roller cart off amazon that I can put next to my desk - it doesn't take up much space, but it's able to hold the yarn for current WIPs, my knitting patterns, scissors, measuring tapes, etc. Might be something that could help for multiple yarn projects :)

[@dragonxslayer67]

you gonna have to figure what color you use most so bulk would be most logical and you be getting free shipping as well, not only that you can contiuousaly work on your order w/out having to keep ordering that particular color (and having to keep paying for shipping) think of the savings/cost effect?

[@oldmomma56]

Great job on the cardigan, kiddo!

[@dantosinferne]

I'm surprised you hadn't gotten into bulk prices yet! Especially with how much you produce! Wow, my bank account hurts, but also That's exciting! I'm glad you'll be able to save so much on costs! Also, thank you for introducing me to juicy couture. I heard you talking it up and it was on sale for 5.99 so I couldn't resist. and I LOVE it, almost too slippery but what a dream to work with! Hell, i might have to order some in bulk just so it doesnt feel so "expensive" to me 😂 Thank you so much for sharing! Best wishes!

[@sylvfallen]

I honestly thought you would have already been buying them as bulk for the lily sugar and cream… for storing you can grab vaccuum bags. Buying the bulk in the plain colours you use often like black and white would be very beneficial like you mentioned.

[@Designgir1]

YAYYY ANOTHER VLOG!!

[@suzie.in.stitches]

You could fit heaps more yarn in your studio there if you put in floor to ceiling storage units! Bulk buying yarn is very sensible for the colours you are using in bulk that you know of. Buying on sale for the sake of it no, not smart, but for the ones you use heaps definitely. You'd go through it in a couple of months!

[@CasualKnitter]

I started knitting in December and in January I was already buying in bulk, delusional me though I was gonna make and sell like crazy, jump on bulk prices Girl!

[@alyssaharellano3229]

Maybe you can take back a few of the Juicy Couture back to the store and exchange them for different colors! Just an idea and I’m happy you posted today!🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@joanprince733]

Go girl with that wholesale order. Its a great feeling when you can save money on yarn.

[@PrincessMar15]

Okey but why is this so relatable? I also have a yarn addiction lol💀😂 love you kels💕

[@_Maressa_]

Kelsie in the first 5min of the video is the best representation of me buying anything online 😂

[@rainedaze12]

the content i look forward to most!!

[@marlawetherell8785]

Well I have a yarn buying problem too. Lol. Joanns yarns are still 25% off. Yeah, I haven't received all my from last wk yet but bought more in the store today. ughhh😮

[@Chromatic_Crochet]

Very excited to see what you do with the new yarn!!

[@ValeriePac]

I’ve been obsessed w your videos!! Love your vibe and I’ve used your patterns to crochet tops and I love how they turned out!

[@Victoria28057]

Kelsie, you have a really nice size room. You could put have 3 walls of shelves for yarn storage. You should look into it. I love your videos by the way😊🧶❤

[@nickolebrennan3357]

Oh my goodness I have been wanting to make a sweatsuit out of the the juicy yarn for ultimate nostalgia bulk pricing could make that doable

[@AnnieN99]

I've seen someone make crochet jogger sweatpants in velvet yarn... It looked amazing!

[@Sunnysidecrochet]

Hey Kelcie, I was going to do the scene challenge from our last video. I am going to tag you in it because it was your idea. I looked at my stash and a lot of the scenes had lost their labels so I made these little “Scane slips.” I shared that idea just in case you do it again. Sorry I saw and commented later.❤love this channel!❤

[@Tri_AgainProject]

I understand the anxiety about buying in bulk… I just spent $350 on seed beads… but it was for more than half off; I use a lot for larger French beading projects. If I were to buy what I did separately it would be more than $700

[@HorsesForLife11_thg]

It’s currently 3:49 am and I can’t sleep, and I need something in the background playing in order for me to sleep… I am playing her videos so I can sleep

[@gettingjamieback1888]

My bandana! Got it and ❤ it

[@karolinejones3407]

I would defenently buy in bulk as long as you can store it. The amount of scrunchies you make, honestly you would probably save money bying every colour in bulk (again being mindfull of storage 😁). Maybe also Lilly sugar and cream in the strawberry colourway 😊

[@mosan8555]

Girlie it's your business, less money out means more money in!!! Over the year your going to buy that much anyway... Maybe Get a vacuum seal kit to store them , but Do it!!!

[@lisaheld9826]

I just went to Joann with the current sale and then added the 25% off Michaels coupon. My total went from 120 to 67 to 48

[@oldmomma56]

You would have a bigger price margin if you bought in bulk! Yes, you have to figure out storage! A closet or room where you can temporarily put it would benefit you greatly! Could you rent a very small storage space to store uncrocheted yarn in until you make it up.

[@peppapig807]

you could order bulk of your most requested colors first, and see how it goes you go through it fast enough for it to be worth it! and your margins would be higher

[@starred56]

I had no idea that you could buy in bulk at Joann! I thought maybe the max was 6. I'm sure that you will be using all the product so it was a good decision I think on your part. If I were doing another King size bed spread then I might just do that!

[@gwaninc8631]

My bf has adhd so hard that he can’t care about anything…. But the « Lore Olympus updated » and « Your crochet girl posted »he got that! I am so proud of him

[@jazismine13]

3 1/2 scrunchie I bought the dollar tree one which is smaller and got 4 out of it.. and the juicy catouir yarn has more that's crazy! I just got the purple of JC and it did make 3 1/2 ughh buying yarn is a pain sometimes lol

[@lauraseale8520]

I store a lot of my yarn in vacuum bags, I have a wardrobe that's just shelves behind a curtain. I get loads in. You can get small bags that fit in your cubby shelving.....

[@kellicarpenter7194]

Do it! Buy it!

[@youdidit1985]

You are correct in your assumption- you are amazing! 😉love your vlogs. 💕

[@infinite5019]

“its only $300” same girl same. I have no room but I keep buying more

[@lindaarchinal9008]

Shrink wrap with the vacuum - save some space!

[@roza44885]

O my you've just made my day❤❤ luv u

[@roza44885]

Im tot even in the half and I already love this video

[@Yarichan3]

Not sure if you have this in the US but in Europe you can register for a wholesale licence as a business. In most stores you can than register with them as business customer and get special offers. Usually I've seen it fixed on quantity and type of yarn but you can mix the colours as wish for each yarn.

[@burntphotography1697]

Love this vlog. Thanks for sharing

[@bethhutchinson105]

You could probably call Joann’s 800/order number and they may let you do the different colors. I personally would try that to see if they would do the bulk pricing that way
