I love yarn. I love going to thrift stores and finding good deals on yarn. Crochet is therapy. Watching you organize while I crochet is like sitting with a "crochet therapist ". Consider yourself a "crochet therapist " not a hoarder. You and I could have worse addictions and we aren't hurting anyone. It's all good.

[@ILGLY]

My wife loves to love and be loved❤ Our home is full of plants, books, pictures of our wonderful children and memories... and yes 🎉Yarn🎉. I hit the jackpot with this girl❤😂❤❤❤❤❤😂 you got this babe, next year we may have to rent the adjacent office on our journey to "Yarn over the World!!" We love you babe❤❤❤❤❤

You need some of those big ikea cubbies and “divide” the room with them- like a library with the rows of bookshelves.

[@barbaraanderson140]

OMG! I'm you! I have a bedroom with nothing but wall to wall yarn. It's my happy place! Even your comments are words I've used. Love you!

[@cynthiaventura360]

Hello my sweet Ginger! That’s just heaven , to have all that yarn on the floor and being able to fall safety on it and even take a nap on it , if you so desired 😂!!

[@SusanRBruce6]

Looking at this much yarn causes me anxiety, it's so overwhelming. When I feel like that with my stash, I go thru and if I don't love it AND have a plan, I donate it to the senior center , the library crochet group or some teen crocheters at church. It's a win win.

[@theYarnGeek]

Hi Susan 😄That’s such a great way to detach!! I have been doing much better since I have the pattern testing plan in progress. I’ve used so much…. And given away the finished projects! 😄

[@dayrue4696]

Same! I have bought huge amounts of yarn that was on clearance over the past few years to just now start to work with it, and if I don’t love it, I’m gonna go donate the entire lot. Just had this happen with Yarn Bee Catalina. It’s the smaller version of Yarn Bee Glowing and I just don’t feel like I like how it works up. I have a HUGE lot of this yarn and many beautiful colors I’m gonna have to donate . It’s a bit of a relief to destash bc my hoard is overwhelming. I wish I knew this yarn more when I bought it but hope someone else can enjoy it.

Agree!!! That would be too much for me!!!!

[@annajjarrett]

Envy overload. You ladies must be rich . Those of us on a budget save to buy just 4 skeins. I don’t want to be jealous but I am soooo jealous.

[@lizw5587]

Sometimes limitations are good. It's all about finding a good balance. I have a large stash I've been moving around so I'm not jealous at all. I know the struggle of hauling and maintaining everything lol

[@ginanearftworth4404]

I watch all the crochet channels and drool over all the yarn behind y'all.

[@gwendoylnluckettcarrethers7600]

Hi Ginger, I, too, am a yarn lover who buys or collects a lot of yarn. I not an organized person. So, I am so overwhelmed by my yarn stash. I try but often fail at not buying yarn. Because I love the possibilities of what it can become. Pray for me, Ginger. I love your organized yarn room.

[@sandygrogg1203]

Well, I really do hope that this project is making you feel better about your yarn. I moved from my three bedroom house into a very small one bedroom apartment, so I really don’t have room for a very big stash. Having said that, I have to admit That while my stash is tiny, compared to yours, it is in dire need of organizing. I just keep putting it off. Because I am legally blind, and no longer drive I get most of my arm. I have doing this that I enjoy getting those boxes from Amazon, and other places filled with beautiful yarn. On the other hand, I can see that the space I have reserved for yarn filling up and an alarming rate. Not only that, but I have more whips and I am comfortable with. I actually bought a small Rey cart just to put the current whips in, so I would see them and hopefully work on them. I am almost 81 years old, and live independently, and mostly charity crocheting. I enjoy crocheting, or knitting, blankets, and for local charities. As my vision gets worse, almost daily, I find that I am working more with lighter color yarn than the darker ones, and it is frustrating sometimes to have trouble doing something that I have done thousands of times , a little harder than it used to be. Fortunately, muscle memory comes to the rescue, and that is a big help. Good luck to you in this huge project. You have set up fun. It won’t be long until your yarn is all organized, and that every it has found a home.❤

[@iviaqua]

I love yarn. I used to feel guilty about buying yarn. Not anymore, I buy yarn because I like the way it looks, smells, and feels. If I work hard and this is my one addiction I deserve to spend my money on what I like. I don’t spend beyond my needs and I buy 1-3 skeins,if there’s no room, I make room before I buy more, I also don’t invade someone else’s space. Just a few rules for myself. I’m happy with my system.

[@maryschneider8154]

Two years ago, I moved from six rooms and two bathrooms to three rooms one bath. I had probably 90% less yarn than you but still moved eight extra large space bags of yarn. I have eliminated all but four bins (one is mainly supplies). I am stumped with what to do with what I have left which is approximately ten balls!😊

[@janacagle2141]

Have you ever thought about barcoding the yarn and your shelves? That is how a library keep track of all those books, and what you have is basically a library of yarn.

[@theYarnGeek]

Hi Jana 😄 I think I would lose my mind if I tried that! 🤣 But great idea!

[@FiberFoxStudios]

I love your home yarn store 😂😂😂😂I suggest thinking of it as a store rather than a hoard 🤣🤣 I regret every time I start pulling it all out to organize. I get it all out and then I turn around and see the pile and think...omg what have i done 🤣🤣🤣

[@lisamartinez6240]

I am your one person! I'm also a lover of yarn, and mostly collect fingering weight sock yarn. My favorite things to make are socks and scrappy blankets. I am going to take your advice and work through my stash rather than purchase more. We will see. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together!

[@LisaT_]

Jmo & I’m nobody in particular…lol, but I think if you’re asking if you’re a hoarder, that would lend to “no.” You’re attempting to organize it as you can. You know it’s giving you anxious feelings not having it wrangled. You may have gotten overwhelmed with the organizational piece. You’ve raised 7 kids and you WANT to get a handle on it. You’re a queen! From outside the door it may look like a hot mess express. But, attempts are being made. That’s always a good thing. Effort matters. Recognition matters. You’re making decisions. I say kudos. 🎉🎉🎉

[@kat4005]

Her collecting might be a bit out of the norm but a hoarder she is not.

[@mollym7438]

Consider one person helped! I will organize and "shop" from my collection. I love how you said 'slow down on the collecting of things and focus on the things I've been collecting.' Thank you for the reminder and helping me bring joy back to my collection❤

[@AnimalLover101195]

im currently inventorying every single skein of yarn i have and I find it incredibly overwhelming. And i have a small fraction of the amount of yarn that you have. I cannot imagine trying to organize all that yarn. Kudos for taking on such a massive project!

[@JenYasha]

That flop you did into the yarn at 9:50 looked so satisfying. And I thought my stash was getting out of hand, holy cow you have a lot of yarn. (I am sooooo jealous)

[@cynthiaventura360]

I can totally relate to the fact of having all the yarn 🧶 you have in disarray and being able to organize it! There is definitely A Zen 🧘‍♀️ kinda feeling organizing the chaos! I have always liked having my things nicely organized, and growing up not having much and as an adult being able to get things I couldn’t when I was growing up, I’ve noticed I’ve also have become a collector ( or hoarder depending on who you ask 😂) and I have been thinking it’s because of the fact that when I was younger I was not able to have the things I wanted. Like when I was in my late teens and my 20’s and 30’s i started getting my cosmopolitan magazines in stores and eventually subscribed to it and I’ve collected pretty much most of them ( my husband is dying to throw them away) 😂 it gave me such a wonderful feeling receiving them and reading them (I have read them all mostly from front to back) because I thought it was such a cool sophisticated thing , to receive your magazine in the mail and reading it on the train or at home with a cup of tea or coffee. Anyway now I collect yarn 🧶 I am absolutely obsessed with my yarn and crochet ( even though I don’t get to crochet as much as I’d like to right now while I’m getting my house organized) yarn 🧶 gives me a sense of security and peace and joy! I may not need anymore yarn 🧶 but they come out with so much pretty new yarn that I have to get it or I get severe FOMi . 😂 I say get your yarn , we are not hurting anyone by buying excessive amounts of yarn 😂 there are worse things we could be doing! I love your new yarn studio and I absolutely love your momma’s remodeled yarn 🧶 sanctuary! They are beautiful! That’s the kind of yarn space I need . I could barely walk into my yarn 🧶 room right now 😂 Sorry for rambling darling ! Insomnia is real and I call there’s delirium hours , I’m in NY and it’s 3:22am right now 😂 Thank you for sharing all the wonderful yarnie therapy! I was at Micheal’s last week and they did not have the new yarn so now I have to go again ! 😂 Be well my sweet friend! Enjoy. 😊

[@maryballard5952]

I get it. It's hard. I have too much yarn as well. I see a video of something I like and get the yarn to make it. I just work a lot and don't have time to make it. It's like I'm buying it for "someday." I also like to organize. I say I shouldn't buy anymore yarn and then I find a good sale or something new comes out. I realize some of my favorite yarn is going to be discontinued so I buy more. I keep it organized, but I don't have room for much else. I'm just not going to Joann's or Hobby Lobby anymore. I can't. I just have to spend my time actually crocheting.

[@infinitelyzero]

Thanks for sharing. I still need to organize my yarn better and my clothes as well. 😊

[@SusanRBruce6]

Ginger, I love your sweet spirit and I just want to ask you, are you unable to give away your yarn? As in it is too upsetting for you to donate/ sell it? I've seen cinnamon stitches or Juan do mystery boxes to get rid of yarn they don't love? You are being very brave to share with us, I'm praying you are taking care of you.

[@jeanbeaudreault2458]

I feel like I can tell you this.. The first time I came across your channel you were moving. You were moving because if losing everything. And as you continued to shop and look at more yarn I felt so sad for you. I was truely depressed over your situation for two days. You were on my mind for two days. I thought I wouldn't be able to watch your channel again. But, I am here to give it another try and will be hwre as you organize and make progress ❤

[@ILGLY]

Material loss is always temporary. Our life is Spiritually blessed. No need to worry ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@charlottebruce6841]

And everyone thought I had a LOT of yarn until I showed them a picture of your room!! Yarn is pretty; it's like you're an artist thinking of pictures you can paint! I love to do adult coloring, therefore I have hundreds of markers!! Same with embroidery. I could embroider around the world!! lol Six months ago I pulled myself up short and said, That's It!! Use what you have...I've given away lots, made lots of things for people (selling them too!). I'd love to see all the things you can do with what you have!! You'd never have to buy another skein of yarn!! You are to be commended on your attitude and progress.

[@marion4351]

Love the small room. Love the way the FOs are stored. One thing at a time. Great big change from last video.

[@heathersella8449]

I am one of those people who LOVE organizing things. I so wish I could help!

[@jeanniep9436]

Some of my yarn I have, I bought when pregnant with my youngest child. That was 46 years ago😮 I keep them in clear plastic storage bags on shelves. I have thinned them out some? I will not be able to use it all before I die. None of my 3 daughters sew or do yarn work. So, I better get busy😅

[@cottontailcrafts1719]

my hubby can never complain about how much yarn I have after seeing this much yarn wow!!!! I am the type of person that never has WIPS I can't start a new project until I finish what I have on the go first lol Great job on the organization!!

[@Kdiefenbacher]

Bless you Ginger! I started collecting yarn, but the more I had, I didn’t want to crochet, so now I’m getting my wips done and not buying any more yarns until I finish what I have and yes I only buy the yarn I need to finish my projects. And now I’m finding some yarns I can’t find to finish my projects. It makes me sad, so I tend to make a lot of scrap blankets or little things or scrappy granny squares. I do enjoy crocheting now and not stressing about the yarn. But I do say, I love your yarn collection! You go girl, you make so many beautiful things, enjoy! I’m calling you a collector of fine arts, not a hoarder! Love ya, Ginger! ❤🤗 you will do it, I’m getting there! Just wish I could crochet faster. Take care and enjoy!

[@themeg8389]

I think that in all the people who crochet on KZbin that I saw, your definitely the person who has the most yarn

[@juneortiz1104]

I applaud that you’re working at getting it all neat. While I know you’re a pattern tester. If you were able to channel your projects into items you can sell or donate I think it would give your stash a wonderful multi purpose of giving you joy, helping others and eventually as it gets used it won’t be just piled, stacked and decaying. I think each skein deserves to be something special ❤ thank you for trying

[@SpiffyHandmade]

Hey Ginger! So much work!!! I have been doing this over the last two years as well. I think I am getting somewhere and really I am not. I feel the same about my stash as you do about yours, LOVE everything I have ever bought and have plans. Now, I must start using what I love. I have been thinking that a lot lately, that I really just want to do these projects I have been planning. The only thing stopping me is ME. Thanks for this video, and all the others, you do help others all the time. Take care and forge on!!

[@wendyscrochetcrafts]

I love all the yarn you have. I was drooling the whole time seeing all the yarn you have. Yarn and crocheting is therapy for me.

[@carmelpop1011]

I totally relate to the feelings and motivations behind collecting. I am also a big collector of things (especially yarn). I love making things for my niece and nephew, they are definitely the biggest help in working through my stash. If you have any grandkids who are the right age, I found a project that REALLY helped me was making play food sets! They are good because they use up so many different colours, but also don't feel overwhelming to tackle.

[@patriciafoster9]

The kitty's are probably thinking...so many shelves to choose from!!!😂❤😂❤😊

[@myleerose31866]

I too am a collector of yarn, and happen to have a few open cubbie holes on my wall if anyone is feeling to overwhelmed..lol I love when Joann's and Hobby Lobby have sales, but Hobby Lobbys clearance sales ??? I did great this yr and only bought 4 skeins of yarn, but in all honesty, it was only because I missed the sale and that was all that was left. My yarn only gets disorganized when I grab an assortment trying to find which yarn I want to use for a certain project, this usually goes on til the basket I discard them in is full only then do I put them away.

[@Preppy_crochet-v5o]

Gurl I barely have yarn I only have like 20skiens u are literally living me dream 🩷🩷 u are so amazing!!

[@gfamily6113]

Great job Ginger! I wouldn’t have believed that there were enough places to put the yarn in your office. You are good at organizing.

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

You inspire me. I need to dump my trashbags full of yarn to organize, also. But... Ive no place to dump them! I look in your yarn room and see... a cave full of TREASURES!! What a dreamy room! I screamed with laughter when you dived in! 😅😂

[@diannakurey28]

Holy Moly, Wow...That is a lot of yarn...LOL I wish I had A room with all that yarn. I only have A small wall behind my chair. From good wills and yard sales and given to me.... Have fun..

[@grannyt6819]

Awww, those kitties are adorable. They look at all those "boxes" shelves like we look at yarn. They look so happy. Of course I think kitties love yarn like we do too.

[@CNYWoman]

I too like yarn. I ran out of space in the house for it so I am working on saving what I really love and conceivably use. Mostly, I am crocheting bulky and super bulky yarn into blankets for Project Linus. So I cleared out three kitchen garbage bags of worsted for my cousin who just started to crochet. She isn't working so she will appreciate some free yarn.

[@knitty781]

That is a LOT of yarn!!! And WIPs. I thought I was over the top. There is a lot of pretty stuff in your stash. One thing I do is if I teach someone how to knit, I give them a skein of yarn - their choice with some guidance. (not a fan of Homespun and will steer a newbie away from anything with all those nubbs on it) I understand the intentions, too. I'm trying to finish up some WIPs so I can have more empty needles to start new projects. Those pretty boxes are great for hiding a lot of messy stuff. I use one for my knitting needles. I know where they are (mostly).

[@joaniejohnson3346]

My daughter is my guru. Her best advice: “Just because I like something, it doesn’t mean I want or need it.” You may be trying to fill a hole in your life. I have tons of scrapbooking things hogging up what would be my yarn/crochet room. I acquired all that when my youngest left for college in 2013. It’s 11 years later & now I have more yarn & scrapbook supplies. I wish I was determined like you. It’ll be here until I cram it in a box & give most of it (scrapbook/planner supplies) I’m not motivated. I’m sure if I had an Adderal pill I could get it together. 😮😅🤣

[@theYarnGeek]

Hi Joanie 😄 I’ve finally taken on that philosophy with getting new yarn…. 🤪 I have found that the more I find used for and organize what I already have, the smaller that hole that needs to be filled gets. And wait minute…. Adderal works like that? I might need some too!! 😂

Omg you so need to make a short video of you collapsing in to the yarn & laying there until your arm reaches up lol ... I was listening to you talk about taking photos, collecting plants, etc I have been exactly the same! I have thought it was because I don't have kids & was trying to fill that void as everything I collect requires looking after mostly! But yes, I have felt like I'm drowning in some things as I've not organised it ... And yes, I love organising & I love looking at what I deem are pretty things - yarn! You are really helping me with going through your thought process, etc ❤ Susannah

This is a long shot, but, I'm reduced to that now. I have fallen short on having enough yarn to finish a project. It is I LOVE THIS YARN, 100% acrylic, color way 742/SANDY GRAY. The dye lot will probably not be an issue. It's been discontinued by HobbyLobby. I wonder if you might have 1 skein on hand. Name your price +shipping if you do. I'd be very grateful.

[@SquigglesTheKitty]

I know this comment is late, but you can also see who has it stashed on Ravelry and see if anyone there can send you a skein 😁

[@kat4005]

@@SquigglesTheKitty thank you. I’ve got my need posted in a lot of places but didn’t check Raverly. I will go sure. This may have been discontinued a long time and it’s just not out there 😢. I’ve even contacted perfect strangers who have big stashes on KZbin to no avail. Probably sound like a scammer. Thanks so much for your suggestion 🤗

Since you used to collect photos as well, would you like to make a video about the things you have made all that years. It has not to be necessarily about all of them but it would be great to show off some of them and get inspired by them.

[@wesewpro]

Ngl...all of that yarn gave me anxiety. I thought I had a fabric problem, until I saw this video. 😂 I have stopped buying fabric a long time ago, and now sew for (some) people, just to get rid of the fabric. Good luck with all of that yarn. Looks like you have the drive to get it all up on the shelves, and stored, so good for you! I agree with the poster who stated this is a "yarn library", and getting it coded would make your life a lot easier when looking for the "perfect" yarn for the next project. Looks like you're almost there and done organizing!

It makes me happy just looking at it with all the texture and color. And I know how you feel about selling it. But your new place reminds me so much of a cute little boutique with a fresh cup of coffee and an open door. People could come and enjoy your beautiful personality and you could sell your yarn so you can get all the new stuff coming in. it’s such a bright pretty area that I can just see a couple of chairs and some lessons and just visiting.

[@besswhite3080]

Not sure if this will be helpful clarifying if/when to purchase more in the future: you can log about how much yarn you go through in a typical week/ month etc, and if you are pretty consistent, you can figure how much you'd actually go through in your lifetime. Say you're really industrious and go through ten skeins in a typical month, that's 120 a year. If you live to be eighty and you're about 30 now 😉 you could expect you'd need a max of about 6000 skeins in your collection. If you've gone way over that number, you might want to donate some each time you purchase more. Just an idea, particularly for those who can't dedicate two full rooms to just yarn. Love watching your process, glad it's bringing you joy, you know better than anyone how much you really need.

[@ILGLY]

My wife goes through about 50 skeins per month 😂😂😂😂 for her it's not the amount of yarn she has it's more the options available for her ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ She is the YarnGeek after all.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@sophie1301]

I really enjoyed this video. I very much enjoy watching you organize. I’d love to see you set challenges for yourself to use some of your epic yarn stash! You need more elbow room in there! I’d love for you to engage with your community in that way. Make it a community challenge like “how many skeins of yarn can we use in a month?” Set a goal for yourself and also for the community! Can we collectively use 1000 skeins? 10,000? How many WIPs can I finish in a month? I need that as a community challenge. I have too many that now I’m overwhelmed just looking at them!

[@MesiasCloset]

I too dream of one day falling onto a giant pile of yarn 😂❤

[@megangreene3955]

I have a plan also. I have a plan to only buy yarn for a project that I will be making right then. Yarn is expensive and storage is limited. I can't afford to stock yarn for "maybe someday". It has to be a definite project that I will be working on for a specific reason before I buy anything. For you, I think your hoard should be downsized by donation or by allowing your yarn craft friends to go shopping in your stash.

Thank you very much for your video. I also struggle with the yarn I have. It's about 1/3 of what you have, but my struggle is will I ever use it. Watching your video makes me feel much better about my stash. I am slowly going from how you have organized and organize them into the next project with pattern, hook, etc. I use any bag that I can get my hands on so that all I have to do is grab and start the pattern.

You are doing a great job. Keep going and I can’t wait to see it finished

I am half jealous and half oh-my-god-who-needs-that-much-yarn! Of course, if I had the money forthat much yarn, I'd have enough money for that, I'd put it towards food, and some savings so I'm not worried about food and money at the end of every month.

the way you have worded the part about collections and comparing them to plants and photo albums has really helped me visualise why i find mine overwhelming! thank you for bringing me back to the present moment with this video, i really needed it. much love!

Are you my twin?!? I love yarn, see potential projects in every skein I have, and totally relate to your yarn stash.

God bless you. You're doing great with organizing your yarn. I congratulate you for search within you to see why you collect so much of the things you love. It takes courage and self love to look inside and recognize it After hearing that you mom have much more than you, you don't think maybe you're following that example? Is not a bad example because the two of you keep it organized for what i see (your mom new room is my dream room btw😂) Something that I do when something is getting to be too much I getvrid of it. Out of sight, out of mind. The wips. Take one at the time and finish it. Dont matter what else you're doing. Im pretty sure youll be finish with those in no time. Also, don't start another project until you're done with whatever you have on your hook. Maybe two projects at the time, no more than that. You're awesome, dont ever forget that. God bless you❤

OMG that’s more than I ever seen in one crochet room. I have allot but now only buy as I need it for a project in which slowed me down from buying. My thought is to make some mistery boxes of yarn and sell them or do a giveaway just the yarn you not going to use.
