    Now THIS is a yarn stash that nearly rivals mine! I’m a yarn-aholic. I can’t control my urge to buy more yarn for projects that I’ve yet to start. Watching others with as much yarn makes me feel not alone with my yarn obsession.

    I am totally addicted to yarn. I have taken one of my bedrooms and transformed it into my yarn room. There is nothing but yarn in this room (no bed). I purchased wooden crates from Joanne fabrics and used them to store and organize my yarn. I also have a trail of destruction and trying to reorganize. My crates are stacked 6 crates high and placed along the walls in the yarn room. It is going to take me a month to reorganize because I have to buy more crates. I don't feel so bad about my addiction to yarn after watching your video.

      Lol I think “trail of destruction “ is the most accurate way to describe what I created too!!! 😂😂😂
      Don’t feel bad! There’s a lot worse things we could be out doing instead of creating joy with yarn! At least that’s how I see it. I could definitely utilize my space more if I didn’t have to have a bed in here lol. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it!

    I used under the bed storage organizer (that I bought at Wal mart) to store some of my yarn in our guest bedroom. I purchased one long one and a set of two smaller ones. I like the two pack smaller ones that I got to separate some different fiber types. I used the large one for my Caron one pound and Lion brand pound of love. Your making progress and your room is lookin good. 💕the dollar tree baskets you have.

      That’s a great idea Mary, I will definitely check out the next time I’m at Walmart! Those pounds take up a lot of room lol 😂
      Thank you, I’m almost done and will have my final reveal in the next video on Friday. I’m excited to share it.
      I had to snatch those DT baskets up when I saw them, I thought they were way cuter than the ones they normally have!

    I was thinking about cleaning my yarn room, and then I saw your video. No way. I'm not starting any organizing right now. I will wait until I see your finished room. Besides, I'm pretty sure I need to buy a few more shelves before I can get started. Good luck. I know you can get this done. You will be so happy when you are finished.

    Last year I organized my statch using plastic milk crates. I lined them up on their side across two walls in my office/yarn room. This really helps because I can see instantly what I have without moving stuff around

      I love that idea Jan! And it sounds like it was an affordable project too. I’m the same way, I have to see what I have or I forget what I have lol. I actually have a yarn room cleaning video coming out this afternoon too! I’m not super good at maintaining the tidiness and it had gotten messy again 🤦🏻‍♀️

      To be honest, I don’t have enough milk crates or room to put all my yarn out.
      I make baby blankets for my local pregnancy center and so for 6 months of the year I make light weight blankets using 3 ply yarn, and that’s what I have in the milk crates. When it’s time to switch to heavier weight blankets, I unload 2 dressers and several totes and switch the yarn.
      My husband passed away almost two years ago and ever since he died I’ve let my yarn Stacy get out of hand

    This truly just made me want to buy more yarn since you had such pretty yarn 🤩 but my yarn is currently in several bags at the moment since I’ve tried to organize my yarn and my kids just yanked them out. So that task will be for another day. Whenever organization begins you have to make a big mess first.

    If you like the Breathe Deep and Feels Like Butta, you would also like Bernat Bundle Up yarn. It is the same type of construction and is even softer than the Feels Like Butta.
    I have a bunch of the Feel'n Chunky cotton too. I love it. I sort of want to make a blanket with it but that would be a really heavy blanket.

    You should get your husband to put some shelves on the back wall and your storage would be greatly increased. Or, get another sweater hanger instead of using the shoe hangers. Just a few friendly suggestions.

    Hi. I have downloaded Yarn Buddy and labeled each tote with an index card with a letter like A, B, etc. (think locations in a warehouse). Then I log each skein, cake and note what bin it is in.

      I get most of my yarn stockpile from the hobby lobby annual clearance sale. In the past in was usually in June but this year it was in April. They make all their discontinued yarns to 75% off. So I save any gift cards I received and some cash for that. But I have also gotten really good deals at Herrschners.com. Their brand is always a good value but they tend to have good clearance. I’m pretty thrifty so I don’t like to pay full price lol! 😃
