YARN DESTASH Continued … I Moved My Entire YARN HOARD! 😱

Join me as I move my entire yarn hoard!! This is part of my de-stashing process and we’ve got so much more to organize and (gulp) de-stash!

[@karenstrachan287]

I'm 75 and my husband used to contribute to my yarn hoard before he passed from cancer. One day i showed him one of your videos before we went to KC for one of his surgeries and he said he would like to run into you in Joann's or Michael's when he took me yarn shopping because he loved your yarn room.

[@t.t.9081]

Now that’s a wonderful man & supportive husband. Love that for you. 🩷😊

[@Melanie-Jay77]

Beautiful new Yarn room. Great job to you both. Sweety you might want to blurb out your tag on vehicle. Just want you safe on these streets.

[@irenexavier6960]

⁠@@Melanie-Jay77 Hi Melani, maybe you should sent any way of a message to her, because she showed on the entrance of the elevator , all kinds of business. With one search people would know her address right away 😔 I know there is a lot of good people in this world, but there a lot of bad people too.. we try to trust everyone , but we just cant. If she can remove just that part on the video, it would be much better for her and her family 🌹🌹

[@bethelmore7032]

I have decided ,at 65 ,i will never be able to use all the yarn i have (not half as much as you. lol) in my life time so i am blessing someone else with a lot of my stash.

[@sagaciouslysage9454]

I feel less like a yarn hoarder when I watch your videos, thank you! I too have a supportive husband who allows me to be me as long as I’m happy. Yarn is one of the many things that makes me happy. Also, my family crochets/knits - daughter, son, husband and myself. So it works.

[@lavernaphifer159]

Wow your so blessed

[@MiaSmomof2]

My goodness. I think you could open your own yarn store with all of that yarn. I will show my husband this video so he lay off my yarn stash lol

[@t.t.9081]

Same!

[@shanlawes]

😂

[@danamcmorris788]

This is the video I really needed right now. I just moved and went from a huge craft room to a craft room about 40% smaller. I have been sitting here for weeks feeling bad for myself. No more, you just reminded me that it is all in the attitude. I am newly motivated. Thank you.

[@marlenegoldman234]

Wonderful to see your stash! Makes me feel better about mine! At 75 I am a SABLE - stash accumulation beyond life expectancy and proud of it!

[@grandmamn4263]

I would use part of the smaller room as your workspace to test and create. Then you could add a row of back to back shelves/cubes to hold more yarn in the larger room.

[@tarhabrown8038]

Liking this so she sees it! This is The Idea. Like a library for yarn. 🥰 A Yarbrary. Ugh. I need this in my life now.

[@oldmomma56]

You might ask Sam at Manfa Makes. She has turned organizing yarn stashes to make sense including organizing patterns, books, magazines, etc. If I had as much yarny stuff as you, that’s what I would do! I think she even has computer filing system to go with the whole kit-n-caboodle!

[@theYarnGeek]

Oh Wow! I need to go watch some of her videos! 😄

[@dantosinferne]

I cant imagine how overwhelming it would be moving your yarn! Moving forces you to face the "stuffness" of stuff. Stuff becomes background noise, even if you organize and care for it, so having to move it makes you face just how much you have. It's a weird experience every time. And the longer you go without moving, the more distant you become and its so easy for stuff to build up over time without you even realizing. This isnt judgmental, i have just moved a lot and had to help family clear out house several times too. I cant imagine having to move my stuff after so long and with work focused around yarn. Like wow! I hope you take time to care for yourself and love yourself.

[@SS_S.]

Oh my goodness, your husband was wonderfully supportive. I really enjoyed watching the two of you interact with each other. I would find that amount of yarn completely overwhelming, but I don't judge what makes you happy! (And I don't believe in "should")

[@olgachasco]

Such a nice guy for sure!!!😜👍🏻

[@ceciliawilds6973]

Your husband is so gracious and patient . You are blessed . Thanks for sharing .

[@Kitty-JuneOhSixJanTwentyFour]

Renting/buying yourself a studio for your yarn, is an interesting concept of downsizing :S

[@lisapully9274]

Bless your sweet husband for supporting your hobby❤️

[@FreehandlyMade]

WOW! What a change on your new journey!!!! It's a new chapter, and you are embracing it like a champ! ❤🎉😊

[@suzio6571]

"I say I don't have enough yarn, because I love yarn. " You are my hero! I feel exactly the same way and I make no apologies for not one single Skein. ❤

[@theYarnGeek]

Yay!! 🎉🎉🎉 Yarnie must stick together!! 😄

[@meganberk6072]

You should make a big chunky rug to go on the floor! Your husband is so supportive it is very sweet! But he’s right you should get rid of a bit. Maybe take yarn you only have small quantities of (single skein left over, etc) and give those away.

[@theYarnGeek]

Yes!! I do want to make a big rug! Thanks for the suggestions, Megan!! 🥰

[@BudderBean]

We’ve missed you miss and Mr yarn geeks 💜💜 I’m super impressed by you guys and the amount of progress you make in such a short amount of time! There’s our ginger ! As Mr Geek yapping about what you could be doing as you lay on the ground haha

[@theYarnGeek]

I miss you too Miss Jamie!! (And so does Casey Mr Geek!😂) I’m so popped from moving everything 😅 Lol…. Yeah, he can be a Mr. Bossy Pants A LOT! 🤣

[@raggedyann4372]

I would have anxiety if I had my yarn in a place I didn’t Live. I hope it works out for you, you have a ton of yarn, it is gorgeous.🥰❤️

[@theYarnGeek]

I thought I would too, but my yarn told me that it needed some time away from me! 🤣🧶

[@cheyennebigelow3142]

It wouldn’t be so bad if you lived in the same building! I have a storage unit down the hall from my apartment that I keep some of my treasures in, when I want them I just go to the storage unit and get them, to me it feels like walking down the hall at my old place to get there.

[@cheyennebigelow3142]

It would be gorgeous if that bigger room was storage and you put some chairs in that entry area to sit and crochet by those big windows ❤

[@roxeyserckie5414]

You are blessed to have your hubby to help you & so willingly!

[@kathrynbythelake9638]

This makes me happy. I don't have the space or money for much yarn but I can vicariously enjoy yours.

[@bunnygaffney2765]

Its so nice to have a husband that supports you .i have an old camper i have my yarn in..its in big totes .but i have to hide it all from my hubs .i feel bad sometimes but you know im 72 and waited all my life to be able to do my hobby. Your studio is absolutely beautiful

[@theYarnGeek]

Oh no!! Just bring it out a little at a time… you should be able to openly enjoy your hobby!! Yarn is love! 🥰

[@Minnigirl1]

My one and only tip is build some sort of database 😂 i use the knit&note app. But basically anything that lets you look up what you have and how much of it. Even better if you can add where in the room it’s located 😂

[@marion4351]

This is so much work. It's going great. I like the cakes on the wall. So nice seeing such a supportive hubby. I can see sort first by brand. Then you can do your rainbows if that's what you want. I would like to sort mine also by yarn weight. I could never handel all this. Your doing great. Can't wait to watch the progress and see the final result.

[@DB2hull]

I loved your rainbow 🌈 wall and I love your idea of sorting by brand. Well done to your hubby for organising those crates. Enjoy your new studio. Oh and the house has an elevator too WOW.

[@TheYarnaholic]

Your husband is awesome 😎 I am a bit disappointed that you didn’t jump into your yarn pile before you moved it 🤣

[@pamlindsey9695]

You are so calm and determined! That is a lot of yarn to organize. I couldn't do it and have to say I felt very overwhelmed just looking at it all! I'm interested to see it transformed!! Make your vision!!

[@patrycjakapkin4911]

i absolutely would not have the space to own this much yarn, but i am envious

[@hugettewatson2789]

Wow , oh lady lady ❤❤ you’re my best yarn friend. I have a 5/10 storage unit full of yarn apart from what I have in my closet in my apartment I’m trying to get a larger apartment so I can have a room for my yarn and me 😀😀😀😍🥰 . And more new yarn keeps coming out every few weeks what will we do 😀. You and your husband have a wonderful weekend.

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

What an awesome guy!! He's so patient with you. The neighbours must think you're opening a yarn store 😂

[@Yarnicorn85]

Loved the video and seeing how much love there is between you and your husband. He was so helpful and knew about the things you do.

[@charlottebruce6841]

HOLY MOLY! I knew you had GOBS and GOBS of yarn, but wow!!!! I don't know how you keep track of it all. It would take years to crochet all that. But am looking forward to seeing it ALL organized. You do have a wonderful husband.

[@theYarnGeek]

Thank-you, Charlotte!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@leslieh1051]

I just love the set up crates, creating spaces using the crates. I no longer feel like I have too much! Wonderful job!

[@darr2970]

I just was surfing yt because I was looking for a pattern to make a 2nd chunky blanket and seen your video and just by watching I am overwhelmed. You love yarn for sure. Your husband is a angel, but if you can afford it and thats what you are addicted to then have fun. I really like that chunky yarn but I can't get anymore than what i'm able to use I don't have room lol. 😊😊

[@KristinF3246]

Oh Lordy! I can’t imagine how much work it was! Good job! ❤️🧶

[@theYarnGeek]

lol…. It was craaaaaaazy!!! 🤪

[@livc1981]

😂 So awesome 💖 I love this soo much!!!! Your husband did such a great job with the crates. They look so good! You're new office is major goals!!!! 💖💖💖💖 Might wanna blur out the license plates, and get some new ones when you move so rando's can't plot on you like they did to Crystal.

[@grannyt6819]

I'm having fun watching this and seeing how many I recognize. I've only been studying yarn for a few months now but I know at least half of these. Lol. I am bedridden so I have more than enough time to study yarn all day. And knit and crochet. :) There are so many more options in yarn than there were 20 years ago. Incredible!

[@bettylougreen6987]

You have more yarn than my yarn stores. I now really understand the name of your channel. Collecting yarn is a hobby.

[@nancyshookedoncrochet526]

Hes so excited to get the yarn out of the house. I hope it all fits. That was a workout for you guys.

[@gayle1055]

WOW you can open up your own Joann’s lol. Your studio starting to look good. Yes I love these types of videos. By the way what a great hubby you have. Helping you without complaining and cracking jokes. Wish I could have found someone like him!!! I failed twice so no more😢. I store my yarn by brand. For me it’s easier to find if a certain pattern I like in a certain color way or brand I can check to see if I have it rather by color. I don’t have nearly 1/10 th of what you have but I also make cards and have tons of that type of crafty stuff. I am having to move w/in next 2 mos and NOT loving to pack AGAIN. 7 yrs ago I moved from CT to FL; since in FL I am now on my 6 or 7th move😮 and I’m no more a spring chicken. So good look and looking forward to more cool videos. Guess no more yarn hauls for you for awhile heh !!!??? ❤gayle

[@debsmith7439]

You and your husband did a good job, moving and organizing. He 8s very helpful and patient

[@cat4068]

It's nice to know I am not the only one with way to much yarn.

[@joaniejohnson3346]

Goodness! God bless. Your husband is an angel! Have fun creating in that fabulous space!

[@KRJcrochet]

We just had to make a major move, spending the summer working out of state, so I had to do a major destash of my craft room. I kept most of my yarn but it’s in storage because there wasn’t room to bring it along. I can’t explain it in a way that makes any sense, but I physically/mentally/emotionally miss the comfort of yarn. I have a little bit with me. I love that you love your yarn just as much. Watching this makes me both happy & a little yarnsick for my own. ❤

[@olgachasco]

WOW! Incredible! That is so overwhelming! That was a lot of work! Good job! Keep going organizing!!!

[@michelehewitt9678]

I have just found you channel, love it l have a lot of yarn as well ,l do a lot of knitting which l taught my self at the age of 7 .l am also teaching my self to crochet as well at the age of 68 . Keep going

You have so much energy. I'm hoping you are going to have mystery boxes or some giveaways. Your yarn stash is amazing. Are you still in Lawrence? I'm hoping to meet you someday. I have a ton of family there.

[@shellybucci3196]

Thanks for showing us your yarn and yarn room. I am in the process myself of trying to downsize in my home, the problem is I collect to many things. I told my husband I am willing to get rid of alot of my crafting things but NOT my yarn. I do believe if I took it from all the places I have it in the house, I probably have at least 3/4 of what you have. I do not have a channel and am not an advanced crocheters but I have been learning more things watching everyone’s channels on u-tube.

[@alisongomes684]

Wow!! That's a lot of yarn. I know your mom has more. Be I think you are catching up to her. Good luck in your new art studio 😁

[@theYarnGeek]

Thanks, Alison! 🥰 Yeah, me and my mom are so much alike! 😄💕

This was fabulous great job how wonderful to get a space just for the yarn must be good for your head not so overwhelming I love me a rainbow 🌈 yarn wall but I enjoy much more a happier Ginger

[@denischabriddell986]

Ginger I loved this video. Yes you have a lot of yarn but like you said it's part of your business how beautiful is it to just be able to go in your stash and be able to make whatever you want someone has a baby you need to make a prayer shawl I'm here for it , you go girl 🧶❤️

[@alicial6072]

You don't really know how much you have until you put it all together, I organized my craft stuff and once I put it all together wow what an eye opener, I want to downsize and I refuse to get rid of my craft stuff so i need to just start making things😄 Problem is when you see something you want to make you always got to go get more because what you have won't work. Honestly I wouldn't know where to start, I would be overwhelmed with organizing that yarn stash, color, brand, material........ you have a plan so that's good.

[@Dustin_1025]

Your office space is looking good! Wow you’ve been busy! They need to put Yarn Geek up on the building directory sign!

[@theYarnGeek]

Thanks, Dustin! 🥰 Yes!!!! And then I need to get my logo painted on my door! Or at least a door sign. 😄

[@diamondringirl]

i can't imagine how to even keep inventory of what you have. good luck with your new studio and home, congrats on the son's graduation. i am on my way to not purchasing any more yarn unless i actually need it. i have more hoard than i have space for and that i can use but every time i want to make something i either don't have the right yarn weight, color, or enough skiens. so now i use what i have now and go on to only what i need in the future. there will always be yarn and always be sales. ❤.

Perfect timing. The whole floor of my office/craftroom has to come up due to water issues from the laundry room right next door. The guys are coming to pack my office 🙀. This is all short notice.

Congratulations on this new phase in your life. Your husband is an absolute angel. 😇 😊

OMG! What a challenge!. I think -- if you started in one corner and put all the same brand and color together it might help. Then move to another color in the same brand. Of course; you would probably run out of space before you ran out of yarn. Is there another empty office in that building!
