You should do color themed videos to tackle that stash! Like "how many blue things can I make in a day/week" I would definitely watch those!!❤ have a nice day
@@BriStella I actually do have one video like that in the works currently! But yes, I would love to do more because that would be a great way to bust through the stash! Thank you for the idea🥰
Lol i had to move rooms last week and the only thing i could think of while moving my yarn was "wow the consumerism is really popping off with this one..." Lol i feel you.
Great video! I was sooo overwhelmed seeing all that yarn on the floor 😅 I was wanting to give up for you already! I was sure this was going to be a two day job. You made really good time! I love the results 🥰🙌
@@veronicasalas2666 I was determined! 🤣 It was no easy feat, and honestly I didn't even know I had that much yarn until I saw it all... I'm honestly banning myself from shopping until I make a dent lol
What a great accomplishment! Now your imagination can run wild with all the projects you’ll plan. I had tamed the beast during COVID, but have gone amok since. I actually stopped crocheting and knitting for a bit, because I made so much and then nobody needed (or wanted) any of it. I have a new purpose making prayer shawls for a ministry and small doily butterflies to give away to random people. Because of the prayer shawls, Dollar Tree has a chunk of my money with their big skeins of Premier Yarn. I think I’ll be making shawls for the next year with the yarn I currently have.
Hunny don’t even stress over it! Mine is in 17 - 80 gallon bins plus 3 - 120qt storage bags and at least 6 different large Joann’s and 4 small Joann’s bags in stacks and on an industrial shelf & hanging from my industrial shelf 😂 yours even at the start is better organized than mine will likely ever be!!!! You’ve got this!!!
@@moonbaecrochet you’ve got this! And just for the record I’ve been crocheting for 27 years and I also run a small business that is 80% crochet pieces and I’m disabled so that impacts how much I have to buy on sale
This video popped up in my recommended, and I love a good stash organization vid...and then while watching it, I saw your Bills bag. HEYYYYY-AYYYY-AYYYYYYYY-AYYYYY! I just had to subscribe!
Wow! Just wow! That's.......I have no words but in order to sort and rid yourself of this excess it's just like eating an elephant, 1 bite at a time. You can do it!
Omg!! Looks just like me except add my storage unit full of yarn in Giant trash bags to what you have!! I am out of control!! But i feel better knowing im not the only one!❤
My mom thinks my 3 draw bin is a lot of yarn 😂 I show her yarn geeks and others who have more and now she doesn’t think that way haha 🤣 keep it up beautiful!
This reminds me when I brought home most of my yarn that my grandma gave me. But I don’t have the space to show off my yarn so I bought myself a 27 gallon tote, 2 big suitcases, and some reusable bags for the rest of yarn. I have a tote that has unfinished projects and it’s something I’m planning to work on either the rest of this year and possibly next year. Along with my current projects. So I understand the struggle of organized yarn stash!
Be proud, it’s a craft, hobby, it’s when it gets messy, you know you’ve enjoyed using it all, it’s just so satisfying when completed….. you go girl I recently added several cubes to my stash, then had to buy more, which are empty awaiting an order of over 200 skeins coming next week… love it. I’ve just subscribed, look forward to following your channel…. ❤
Just last year I have been building a little yarn collection and I realized this year I have a bit of a problem 😂 but in my defense I see videos of rooms with yarn and I have maybe 3 storage bins full of yarn 😅 this still isn’t a lot of yarn so don’t feel bad.
@@avismckay7685 meanwhile I got all my fall decor up around the middle of september because despite the fact that it's baking outside...... it's always fall in my heart 😂🎃🩷
My 18 year old kiddo loves asking me if I have a project for the yarn I want to buy. I'm thinking maybe I should give him a lil less shenanigans for his questions. 😂 thank you for sharing with us.
I ended up getting clear plastic bins with lids and put like weights and colors in each one . For each bin I laid all the yarn in that bin out on my bed and took a picture. Then printed the picture and taped it on the end of the bin so when I stacked them I knew exactly what I had. Also the pictures were saved in an album in my photos so I could pull them up at anytime and go to that bin.
That is smart! And you can cross them out once you used them. Aaaaand you have the pictures on your phone so you know exactly what you have when you want to buy new things! I’ve made it a rule to only ever order yarn online when I’m sitting right next to my yarn so I can actually understand if I have something similar already
Oh goodness! I had 6 totes before I moved. I donated and didn’t buy hardly anything for a year. I was down to 3 smaller totes but now I have still 3 totes and 2 boxes sitting in my bedroom. We had a yarn crawl last weekend and was really proud of myself for only buying 3 hanks for projects I have planned for. But I really got to just use out of my stash again. The struggle is real.
@@moonbaecrochet Ahhhhh so excited for you!! Love your videos and how real you are! Wishing you all the success (and the will power not to buy more yarn ;) )
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video! Haven't even finished it yet and I'm already feeling so seen just by your pure, honest dread. Its exactly how I feel when I think about pulling out and sorting my stash but if you can do it, I know I can too! Will we be seeing some stash-busting videos soon??
I'm only a new crocheter and have come to the realisation that I have to stop buying yarn without knowing exactly what I'm going to use it for and having that project already planned out
@@moonbaecrochet I was told I was allergic to the acrylic fibers in the yarn, which didn't make any sense because my hands would never break out in a rash, so I don't know about that diagnosis considering I'm around it all the time lol. I think it's honestly just because of all the little dinners that come loose when working with it, and being close to our faces, and because we're like in the zone, we don't realize how much fibers were inhaling lol.
@@Rebeccabebeify not sure if I'm the right person to answer this since I do have them so I may be biased, but I really enjoy them! With the amount of yarn I've shoved into them over the years, I think they've stood up fairly well. When they do pop out of place, they're very easy to snap back into their grooves. Plus they're pretty affordable so I'd have to give them a solid review👍
@@lindysstudio2133 seems like the ones I got are only in stock in white at the moment but I literally went to my past amazon orders and copied the link haha. But there's so many different versions of the same ones on amazon
