Good glory I am glad I am not the only one doing this crap iGoing outside to throw something away got distracted and then came in to a burnt pan I have had to throw out many many pans!
I love seeing what's in other people's yarn stash. I used to forget laundry in the wash and/or dryer all the time. The last time we had to get new washer and dryer, my husband got an awesome deal on a fancy set. With an app. they send a message to my phone letting me know the washer is done. Love it!! I'm with you on Ice Yarns. I never know if I will like the feel of the yarn. The magic glitz is too rough for me. Of course, it might be worth a try to run them through the Addi. I am starting to organize my yarns by content. All the cotton together, all the cotton blends together, etc. Before they were together by where I purchased them from. That really wasn't me organizing. That's just how they came home and so that's how they got stored. My husband found an app. I think it's more for shops but I'm using it to organize my yarn. It's called Smart inventory. Anyway, I can scan the barcodes on the yarn and then input the information? And I have things grouped by brand and by content and up by size. The best part of this app is that if I find a good deal on yarn, I can scan the barcode with my phone and find out how much of this yarn I already have and in what colors.
Ohh you peaked my interest I need to check out smart inventory. Thank you for sharing. Sounds like something that can be used for different ways to keep inventory of what you own. My hubby has a library of books that he has wanted to inventory to prevent duplicate purchases. Thank you...💜🩵
Heres a suggestion for you....when you put your clothes in a machine set your microwave timer to when it needs attention . The reason this works for me is because i have to get up and go to the microwave to turn the annoying beeping off then i remember why i set the annoying beeping....and i go tend to my laundry. It works every time, for me at least.
There is probably a zillion things i want to make and i probably won't live long enough to make thrm all. ...lol ( I'm 67 now) . On top of crochet of all types., from doilies to afghans, next comes loads upon loads of counted cross stich kits and patterns ( i have all of the solid colors of DMC floss) then i have also wanted to learn how to drop spindle spin also. I have interests in sewing, embroidery and even do a bit of beading. If all that wasn't enough, i dabble in learning to do watercolor! My mind is always busy creating!! It drives me bonkers!!
Hello Jennifer, Bentley is so adorable. Wow! Keep baking soda near your stove will put out grease fire, it works I found out and glad I remembered, heard it somewhere. Love all the yarns and great idea on the wrapping of 🎁 I will be doing that with my specialty yarns that I can’t work with. I would have never thought of that. Love this video, thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful day! ❤🤗
I have gotten as far as moving all my cotton and cotton blend in one clear tote. The rest of my yarns are spread between clear zipper bags and clear totes around my apartment. And I am glad I am not the only one who gets excitement out of rediscovering yarns that were bought but forgotten. As for laundry, I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS start laundry then get sidetracked with a million other things!
I think your on to something!!!!! Lol!! I think your audience truly loves yarn. Even found yarn that you forget you have and the inspiration that can be drawn from that for all.
I'm in the same "boat"=I'd love to see videos of you going through your yarn bins/totes! Not even necessarily making swatches or anything, just seeing what ya have 😍😁😎. The rainbow 🌈 yarn you talked about having higher to your left, and Ice yarn just your stash. It's fun & funny that I'm not the only one who thinks "Where'd THIS come from!?"
I recently organized my yarn this way: Cotton is separated as I don’t have a lot. I have my 3 and 4 weight solids all together in rainbow order: pink, red, orange, yellow, blue, green, purple, violet. I then have the variegated in another area by like shades. I also do not have a lot of bulky yarns, but those and my blanket yarns are all together in one other place as well. I’m much more at ease when I see my yarn now. Good luck!
I store all my cotton yarn together. I store the cake yarn together. The rest is kind of by type & color. Use sticky notes on your binds, easy to replace. Just do as you go. No rush.
Love the new hair colors. Soooo pretty! I love your idea of a “What’s in the Bucket” series. I can hear the jingle! 😅 Doesn’t have to be a weekly thing, just a whenever thing.
I put all of my cottons together by color. Then all of my acrylic by color and weight. My cakes go on the same shelf but all 1 color in 1 place. The Bernat blanket yarn is all by color
I love this possible new series! I feel like there are so many treasures in my stash, also. I'm about to rework my yarn. I think I'm going to organize it by by yarn fiber first, then weight. Realistically, I find something I want to make first, then go search for the yarn. I would love to help you name this series but there's only one thing that rhymes with 'bucket.' 🤣😜 So, maybe we can just call them 'tubs' and you can call this series, "Tubby Time with Jen!" 🛀 Cu in the next! 😊👍🧶
If you decide to categorize, to make that chore easier, you could use the notes on your phone and just speak it into the phone and then send it to your printer. I need to do my yarn room too, I have three walls of yarn and an area stacked with boxes it came in, because I don't know where to put it, yep I may have a problem, nah, I just love yarn!!♥
Love this, the yarn stash and just chatting! Love having my early morning coffee and crocheting with you before I get the grand kiddo up and off to school! I haven’t ordered ice yarns yet but like looking… Thryss in Stitches did a video on navigating, ordering ice yarns just a while ago. Don’t know if it would be help to you or even if you are interested in ice yarn again. Thanks for all you do, wishing you and your family a very blessed day❤
Good afternoon Jen I cannot wait to watch this deep dive into your yarn stash? No it's going to be to see all of the amazing yarn you pull out of your urine bins!😅
Great video! I organize by color in tubs but keep the cottons together in their own tub. I did inherit yarns from older family and many were leftovers from when they made my children baby items. Those are kept separate and then I use them to make my grandchildren items and gift the parents their original baby things, all made from the same yarns.
Yes, please share more of what's in the buckets. I organize my yarn by fibre. Most of my acrylic is worsted,where most of my other fibres are sport or fingering or lace.
OMG! I’m terrible at forgetting about laundry too. I even have the sound turned on the let me know the load is finished and I get sidetracked and never make it to the machine to switch loads. Washing machines and dryers need to text to remind us. 😂🤣 18:41 I put cakes, skeins, donuts and hanks together with like formats. Within that I put same colors together. If I had mine in storage containers I would label them or at least do an inventory on my computer that has a location of each item. I really want some shelves that I can put my yarn in sealed containers so that I can keep an accurate inventory of what I have. Yes, the initial set up of an inventory will take time but it would make things so much easier to maintain.
I can relate to you on several levels. With the laundry, my husband got tired of wrinkling shirts, he started doing the laundry. My yarn is a mess as well. I need to just spend a weekend or two organizing it.
Absolutely loved you sharing your re-discoveries of yarns with us -- such a fun video! When I find things like that,which I've forgotten I bought, I call those 'archeological digs' lol Feel free to borrow that one! Look forward to your NEXT discoveries!
I would make a tub for each brand and also do another tub for acrylic or cotton. For example, I would have two tubs... One is Premier Yarn/ Cotton and the other Premier Yarn/ acrylic. That way you can search for a brand and a type of yarn. I would leave the packs in the correct bucket and that way you can see them there too and you can mix and match anything you want by fiber and brand. Labeling the tubs would be awesome.
Post-It makes a fully 'stickied' 4x6 sheet. It sticks well and removes fairly easily. It's great for labeling the buckets. Just change the label as you use or move the yarn.
Definitely would love to see more of these videos. I can definitely relate to finding yarn I forgot. Just yesterday I found 2 weight premire yarn. I don't do 2 weight. I tolerate 3 weight! I like 4 and 5. I may have bought it for doilies which I never made. I left a pot on my stove on and went out! Came home to a burned pot but thankfully no fire. I can definetely relate to this video. Lots of fun.
I have so much yarn that l forget what I have it’s in the cubes on the wall it’s in storage cubes I got from qvc it’s in the closet in bags and more bags on the floor I I can’t crochet fast enough raven is back on the channel I watch her looking forward to seeing what you have😍
I love seeing your hidden treasures! 😊 I've got to go through my jumbled mess, sort and organize today. I think I know what's there, but maybe I'll be surprised as well. 😮
Great idea for a new series! Sounds like a treasure hunt to me! I have a drop spindle somewhere from when I was a Girl Scout leader and we went to a sheep farm and carded and spun yarn with a drop spindle. I totally forgot about that! Maybe I'll dig it out and try it again 😂.
Good Morning Jenn that was so much fun looking at a part of your yarn stash I would enjoy seeing more if you are willing to share more. I hope you have a wonderful day
❤Love seeing your yarn! And…a drop spindle is so much fun, and portable. Fiber festivals are coming up in the next few months, you should go! Lots of spinning going on there along with the beautiful yarns! Please show us what spindle you purchased…when you get it…can you tell I’m excited for you?! Have fun!😊
Hi Jennifer, You should take all your Premier yarn and do your shells Premier shelves. And then get a shelf and do your Mary Maxim Shelf. Then get a shelf and do nothing but your wool yarn. And then any of the other yarn that you have make another Shelf with that yarn then every shelf that you have label that shelf then the shelf that you have a door on it and then the ones that you put in that shelf with the door then label that door what's in that inside that door . YA'LL FRIEND NANETTE FROM TEXAS ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
You can make time to do your yarn room and make yourself the way you want to do them where you don't have an avalanche again I never knew I had this yard or I never knew I purchased this yarn then you can make really nice- that look really nice on you
What a fun video. It’s fun to see how others stash their stash.. 🧶🧶🧶🧶 right now I have no rhyme or reason for my yarn. It annoys me for a time and then I forget to go back and do something about it. 🙄. Out of sight out of mind. Love your hair. 💜💕
I store my yarn by fiber content and weight. For example, all my cottons for kitchen, accessories, etc. are together and all my cottons that are wearable worthy are stored together. I do the same for the bulky, 4 weight, etc. I have shelves and the ones in bins, I do label the bins so I know what's in them. Good luck. LOL
Put in transparent bucket, slap 8 1/2 x 11 stating type of yarn (acrylic?) Facing out on side, so you will know at a glance fiber and colors. All visible. I don't have that much, hope you find the system you like. Congratulations on the spinning endeavor!
You are looking good Jennifer looks like your weight loss is doing wonderful on you!! And so glad it is making you healthy. Sometimes my ADHD drives me nuts. Hope your ankle is doing well. As I text you mine is throbbing. So swollen. Was told for every hour on your foot do half hour up. Love some of that yarn stash. Just found some I totally forgot about. It was like getting new yarn all over again.
Just FYI, Thryss just did a GREAT video on how to navigate the Ice Yarn website. You may want to watch that. It was really slow and she did it all with casting so it felt hands-on. 🤷♀️😊👍🧶
Jen, I agree that I hate the Ice Yarns website. It is very clunky and hard to navigate but they have some truly beautiful yarns. My mom has started to buy yarn from Temu. As i type this I am working on a rainbow colored shawl from some of their yarn. The only thing is make sure you order enough for what your making because there is no guarantee that they will ever have it in stock again. I would love to see more deep dives into your stash of yarns.
Makes me want to order immediately! Unfortunately on a strict yarn diet! Love all that you bought. ❤I put in my cart right away and then sort through. Type in the number. When the page loads scroll down for all the colors
All of my yarn is in my stash in ravelry, with photos and storage location. The yarn is stored in clear bins, solids are together by brand, regardless of fiber. Then, the rest are together mostly by brand, regardless of fiber content. All the hand dyed, high-end yarns are together, regardless of brand. Would love to see your stash!
I put acrylic and acrylic wool blends together. I separate by weight, I have mostly 4 or 5 weight. I don’t separate further into company, Red Heart/ Premier, etc. I like to see all the colors from different companies at the same time. I think it makes for more interesting crochet items. I don’t mix weights of yarn in one project, I’m not comfortable with that. I don’t buy wool anymore since I live in California and really don’t need it.
What in the bucket? Wednesday!!! Love the idea!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Yes I love that!! Beautiful yarn!!
Love what's in the bucket?! Those are some beautiful yarns! Look forward to seeing what you make with them.😊❤
I am 41 years old and you have inspired me to dye my hair blue!
Yay
Isn't her hair beautiful this morning! 69 and contemplating blue streak

@@mazie65 It's a free app too!
Love the idea of exploring the buckets of yarn. I feel so good that I am not the only one who forgets what's in there. Thank you. ❤️

Hi Jennifer I too like the idea of seeing what's in your buckets and I also like the idea of "What's in the bucket Wednesday 😊"
I enjoyed this video of you going through your buckets of and finding surprises. I like yarn hauls because it’s fun to see what others choose. 🧶💜🙏🏻
There is probably a zillion things i want to make and i probably won't live long enough to make thrm all. ...lol ( I'm 67 now) .

I love seeing what yarn is stored in tubs. Such beautiful color yarns are hidden then it’s like finding treasure. Have a great day.🧶🧶🧶
I love ice yarns. I put things in my cart as soon as i see it and then go through the cart later.
I love finding stuff in my totes. It's like treasure hunting and striking gold.
Hiding yarn in buckets! Yes traveling to see people's yarn stashes.😮😅❤❤❤❤
Hello Jennifer, Bentley is so adorable. Wow! Keep baking soda near your stove will put out grease fire, it works I found out and glad I remembered, heard it somewhere.

Making labels isn’t time consuming- what a good idea
I have gotten as far as moving all my cotton and cotton blend in one clear tote. The rest of my yarns are spread between clear zipper bags and clear totes around my apartment. And I am glad I am not the only one who gets excitement out of rediscovering yarns that were bought but forgotten.

The secret yarnery uses ice yarn a lot. She's originally from Canada but moved to Kenya decades ago. She loves bright colors also.
I recently organized my yarn this way: Cotton is separated as I don’t have a lot. I have my 3 and 4 weight solids all together in rainbow order: pink, red, orange, yellow,
blue, green, purple, violet.
I then have the variegated in another area by like shades.

I love your purple hair, and the pink would be so cute as painted on high lights on that gorgeous purple. The pink and purple is so cute on you!
It's like shopping your closet! "Shop my stash" time lol thats fun!
Hi Jen, you have some beautiful yarn. Especially love the glitz! It's gorgeous!. Mandy uk 🇬🇧 xxx😊
I luv seeing what's in everyone's stash,if you enter the number on the yarn bag from ice it will bring up all the colors from that yarn.
I totally want to learn to spin too. My parents bought me a spinning wheel years ago!
Yes I like window shopping at Jen's lol. I feel the same way with yarn swaps. I love watching Chevy! She is a hoot!!
I love this possible new series! I feel like there are so many treasures in my stash, also. I'm about to rework my yarn. I think I'm going to organize it by by yarn fiber first, then weight.

A label maker is a great idea, you can label the edge of your shelves, like by weight, and or type like acrylic, cotton, mixed etc
Congratulations on getting sucked into spinning! LOL! I love spinning and started with a drop spindle 2 years ago. Enjoy your new hobby.
Yes I would like see what is in the bucket. 🤗🙌❣️
Love the purple in your hair. LOL You said oh a yarn swap, no, I dont like yarn swaps. 😂
Yes i love this video so yes i would watch these videos ,i watch all your videos, love u Jen God Bless.❤.
I love looking at other people's yarn stashes. This was such a fun video ❤

Absolutely loved you sharing your re-discoveries of yarns with us -- such a fun video! When I find things like that,which I've forgotten I bought, I call those 'archeological digs' lol Feel free to borrow that one! Look forward to your NEXT discoveries!
I would make a tub for each brand and also do another tub for acrylic or cotton. For example, I would have two tubs... One is Premier Yarn/ Cotton and the other Premier Yarn/ acrylic.

I would leave the packs in the correct bucket and that way you can see them there too and you can mix and match anything you want by fiber and brand. Labeling the tubs would be awesome.

Post-It makes a fully 'stickied' 4x6 sheet. It sticks well and removes fairly easily. It's great for labeling the buckets. Just change the label as you use or move the yarn.
Love this video, the found treasures are amazingly beautiful. The colors were speaking to me.
Afternoon jen love the idea of what's in the tubs would love that to be a series. Love multi coloured yarn 😊😊
Bin Dives for sure! It's fun finding yarns we forgot about. And yarn spinning sounds amazing. Can't wait to see what you create ❤
Definitely would love to see more of these videos. I can definitely relate to finding yarn I forgot. Just yesterday I found 2 weight premire yarn. I don't do 2 weight. I tolerate 3 weight!

I have some Ice Yarns I bought a few years back and I've never done anything with them. Now you got me thinking! 😊
Ooo, virtual tours! We need touchavision!
Good Morning Jenn that was so much fun looking at a part of your yarn stash I would enjoy seeing more if you are willing to share more. I hope you have a wonderful day
❤Love seeing your yarn! And…a drop spindle is so much fun, and portable. Fiber festivals are coming up in the next few months, you should go! Lots of spinning going on there along with the beautiful yarns! Please show us what spindle you purchased…when you get it…can you tell I’m excited for you?! Have fun!😊
Todays video was fun watching! You are always entertaining but watching you rediscover 'lost' yarn was fun!!! Have a great day, Sweet Lady!
Good morning Jen ♥️
I like seeing the hidden treasures!
Hi Jennifer,
You should take all your Premier yarn and do your shells Premier shelves.
And then get a shelf and do your Mary Maxim Shelf.
Then get a shelf and do nothing but your wool yarn.
And then any of the other yarn that you have make another Shelf with that yarn then every shelf that you have label that shelf then the shelf that you have a door on it and then the ones that you put in that shelf with the door then label that door what's in that inside that door .
YA'LL FRIEND NANETTE

You can make time to do your yarn room and make yourself the way you want to do them where you don't have an avalanche again I never knew I had this yard or I never knew I purchased this yarn then you can make really nice- that look really nice on you
Yesss I would love to see a video showcasing all of your yarn! (I love seeing other peoples stashes!)
Good morning Jen, you could put your yarn in groups of the brand,type weight, and color.
What a fun video. It’s fun to see how others stash their stash.. 🧶🧶🧶🧶 right now I have no rhyme or reason for my yarn. It annoys me for a time and then I forget to go back and do something about it. 🙄. Out of sight out of mind. Love your hair. 💜💕
I enjoyed seeing your stash. I’ve always wondered what podcasters have too. Your hair is so cute.
I have to set an alarm on my phone or watch when I do laundry. It’s the only way I don’t forget it in the washer.
Love the idea of what's in the bucket. I haven't tried many yarns. But excited to see what you have.
That purple, real yarn looks so pretty.
Teal color
I put cottons together acrylic together by color. I liked this video
I store my yarn by fiber content and weight. For example, all my cottons for kitchen, accessories, etc. are together and all my cottons that are wearable worthy are stored together. I do the same for the bulky, 4 weight, etc. I have shelves and the ones in bins, I do label the bins so I know what's in them. Good luck. LOL
Put in transparent bucket, slap 8 1/2 x 11 stating type of yarn (acrylic?) Facing out on side, so you will know at a glance fiber and colors. All visible. I don't have that much, hope you find the system you like. Congratulations on the spinning endeavor!
I love seeing your yarn stash!! Share more please!
I always rediscover my yarn! It's so fun!!
You are looking good Jennifer looks like your weight loss is doing wonderful on you!! And so glad it is making you healthy. Sometimes my ADHD drives me nuts. Hope your ankle is doing well. As I text you mine is throbbing. So swollen. Was told for every hour on your foot do half hour up. Love some of that yarn stash. Just found some I totally forgot about. It was like getting new yarn all over again.
Love the ice yarn color you have make a shawl or vest for Spring.
Just FYI, Thryss just did a GREAT video on how to navigate the Ice Yarn website. You may want to watch that. It was really slow and she did it all with casting so it felt hands-on. 🤷♀️😊👍🧶
I put all my wool together, my cotton and bamboo together. Mainly by season except my hand dyed.
I can relate!! I have adhd and im in my late 40s. An it gets worse!! I just went back on medication it’s helping !!
You crack me up! About the towels not being put in the dryer.😂
Neat people never know the thrill of discovery
Jen, I agree that I hate the Ice Yarns website. It is very clunky and hard to navigate but they have some truly beautiful yarns. My mom has started to buy yarn from Temu. As i type this I am working on a rainbow colored shawl from some of their yarn. The only thing is make sure you order enough for what your making because there is no guarantee that they will ever have it in stock again. I would love to see more deep dives into your stash of yarns.
Good Morning!!!!!! I have my yarn by brand, have cottons, acrylic, etc all together, my cakes are all together.
Good morning Jennifer! I found yarn I had forgotten I bought. I was so excited. I am making a shawl. ☕🧶🦋
That ethnic yarn actually comes in a 4 pack. They are a self patterning yarn when knit. It is beautiful.
Makes me want to order immediately! Unfortunately on a strict yarn diet! Love all that you bought. ❤I put
in my cart right away and then sort through. Type in the number. When the page loads scroll down for all the colors
I have all my cottons together, my scrubby yarn together. Most of my stash is made up of acrylic yarn so I organize that by color.
I organize by color. I couldn’t go to someone else’s home to look through their yarn stash because I would be so jealous. 😂😂
OMG! It sounds like I am listening to myself!
I wanna see the yarns in tubs too. 😊
Loving your yarn rediscovery!
loving your hair today! such a cute look! so fun watching you check out your stash!
Yes! I agree! I can’t get over the jumble of the ice yarn website! I’d love to order some of the beautiful yarn but I just can’t
I have this same problem. I had to go shopping in my stash yesterday and had to hunt for it. Hope you’re having a good evening.❤
All of my yarn is in my stash in ravelry, with photos and storage location. The yarn is stored in clear bins, solids are together by brand, regardless of fiber. Then, the rest are together mostly by brand, regardless of fiber content. All the hand dyed, high-end yarns are together, regardless of brand.
Would love to see your stash!
I put acrylic and acrylic wool blends together. I separate by weight, I have mostly 4 or 5 weight. I don’t separate further into company, Red Heart/ Premier, etc. I like to see all the colors from different companies at the same time. I think it makes for more interesting crochet items. I don’t mix weights of yarn in one project, I’m not comfortable with that. I don’t buy wool anymore since I live in California and really don’t need it.
