I prefer yarn tours and talking about what yarn people have than just yarn hauls.. these are so much fun

[@JanisOnTheFarmette]

I had to chuckle when you momentarily forgot the word “souvenir” since the word literally means “to remember.” Thank you for sharing your wonderful knitting space! You’ve given me inspiration to tackle a long overdue reorganization of my own knitting space. ❤

[@svenjaknits]

Haha, that is pretty funny!!

[@kyleparra5536]

thanks for the tour! What a great space you have created for your hobby! Love how organized you are and thoughtful of how much you keep and decide what goes. I need to spend time doing the same!

[@svenjaknits]

I am very grateful to have a space dedicated to knitting. It's been a long time in the making!

[@marilyn328]

Love your knitting space. I would love being able to see everything I have. Very inspiring. Two things I've always wondered when I see spaces organized like this is 1). Don't your yarns get dusty? And 2). Since they are all out in the open isn't there a big risk of moths?

[@svenjaknits]

Thank you! No to dust, but yes to risk for moths - I keep a lot of cedar products nearby!

[@Rin-wm2nq]

I chuckled at the two swifts but only one winder situation you've got there. Because i have the exact opposite: two winders but only one swift!

[@svenjaknits]

Haha that is a funny concept!

[@DeboraSilva-ud4yp]

I liked your knitting space! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@svenjaknits]

Thank you so much!

[@sharonscraft]

I love your yarn cubbies so much, and the way you organize your yarn makes them look so attractive. I am totally bad at yarn organizing, I can organize a thousand time and will never look as attractive. Just forever messy. 😅

[@svenjaknits]

Ohh don't be fooled, things get quite messy too!

[@veganmagick7251]

Very cozy and pretty set up!

[@svenjaknits]

Thank you! 😊

[@FortheLoveofWool]

Thanks for the tour! Do you have a link to the cube shelves you showed? I’ve been looking for something just like that to help contain my stash 😂

[@svenjaknits]

I posted one in the episode description!

[@dye2knit]

Your yarn collection is inspiring. I am planning to start dyeing yarn! Do you have any pointers or good yarn suppliers that you can share. Thank you.

[@svenjaknits]

I would recommend starting with a few basic colors and very inexpensive yarn as you will need to experiment! Knit Picks has some great options for bare yarns as well as starter dyes. Have fun!!

[@Koko12714]

Loved every single skein! Your room is so happy and beautiful. Is there any way you can hold still when you show items up to the camera? Between the camera zooming in and out and the movement, Its really hard to look at what you are showing, and really hard to read the labels. Thank you for all your videos, you are so talented, and I am very inspired by your pattern and yarn combos!

[@svenjaknits]

Thank you! Yes I can work on that, this channel is a work in progress and I appreciate your input to improve future content!

[@t.l.patterson8497]

When you destash, do you hose a giveaway for your followers or give it to friends and family? Also, where do you "donate" the yarns?

[@svenjaknits]

I give yarn to friends, family or save it for yarn swaps that we do through my knitting groups. I have donated yarn to second-hand shops like Goodwill or Savers as well. Good idea, though, to host a giveaway! I will consider this in the future...

[@t.l.patterson8497]

@@svenjaknits thank you for the clarification.

[@carblarson8868]

I keep my yarn in storage tubs. I often wonder if ppl run into moth problems if they leave the yarn exposed.

[@svenjaknits]

Yes, I often think about this too. I've never had a moth problem but of course, now overthinking it. I may move to tubs in the future because I can only imagine how devastating that situation could be...

[@veganmagick7251]

​@Svenja Knits yes! I just recently set up my little craft spot and I was planning to do something pretty like yours! But the more I researched it the more I heard about the potential for moths so I keep my yarn in zip lock bags with silica gel packs and then Lavender and cedar in the cubbies. It's not as pretty but I don't have money to waste feeding the moths 😅

[@daram5257]

Fun tour! Love seeing different yarns and storage ideas. I’m curious..why did you stop dyeing?

[@svenjaknits]

Thank you! I switched jobs and had a more demanding schedule so couldn’t keep up with it 😕

[@daram5257]

@@svenjaknits thank you for the response. I have thought about learning to dye in the future so was just curious. Those pesky jobs get in the way of all our fun. 😃

[@lilian7089]

Did you made the carpet?

[@svenjaknits]

No, I did not! Found it at a local secondhand shop.
