I have two bins for yarn. One is for yarn I bought for a specific project in mind that I'm waiting to cast on. The other bin is hand-me-downs or thrifted finds that I'm not sure how to use yet. And scraps go in that bin too. It helps me have a limit on how much yarn I'm going to own and also helps me find what I'm looking for.
I definitely have way too much yarn. I put mine in partially netted zip up totes so my yarn can breath. And I organize my yarn by fiber content. 😊 Your yarn is so pretty. 💖
I've been meaning to go through and organize my stash for so long now, and I feel like your video is giving me the kick in the butt to get it done haha! I had your video playing in the background while I sorted out the one half of my stash that I keep at my parents house, now I have to go through the other half of the stash that I keep stored at my place 😂 I love the idea of uploading everything into Ravelry but it seems like such a daunting task! But it's definitely something I'm striving to have done by the end of the year at least! Thanks for such a fun video today, I recently found your channel through RUclips recommendations and I'm so glad! Looking forward to more videos 😊
Yay!! Glad my video motivated you 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Since I forgot to take pictures of most of the yarn I didn't end up updating Rav ahaha 🙈🙈 Glad you're enjoying my channel!
I have maybe a dozen commercial sock yarn skeins left to knit, one sweater quantity, and a cone of yarn that I made a sweater with but there is enough leftover to make at least one more sweater. I keep my hand-dyed fingering weight and commercial sock yarn separated and they will go into respective scrappy blankets. The “leftover” skeins from projects are my nemesis! I don’t know what to do with them!
I feel you on leftover skeins!! Depending on the weight and kind I put them in stripes, small projects like socks/hats/crop tops, scrappy projects or give them away or sell them.
Hello Sylvia, j'ai réorganisé mon smash aussi suite à un gros craquage laineux et j'ai compté mes pelotes ou skeins (110!!!!) et à partir de maintenant je vais faire un countdown pour contrôler tout ça avant le kit eat !
I've been meaning to go through my stash for ages, maybe I will now 😂 I'm glad to know it was quicker than you thought, I'm dreading doing mine 😬 where are you listing your destash?
Hahah I suppose it depends on the size of your stash. I had been wanting to do it and putting it off for quite a while! I feel like I have a lot, but at the same time after dividing and classifying and purging a bit, it doesn't seem like THAT much 🤣🤣 I'll list everything on Le bon coin (French reselling marketplace). Yarn usually sells well on there, especially hand dyed, which tends to sell in minutes ⚡⚡
I tried to add everything to Ravelry and it was easy in the beginning, but than I moved out and everything got out of control XD I still try to remove from stash on Ravelry but the new yarn is not added anymore.... What spindle are you selling, I'm interested in trying out ;)
Hahaha yeah I use the stash that's on there in products but haven't added anything new on over a year 😅 and since I forgot to take pictures of most of my yarn I didn't update Rav 😂🫣 as for the spindle, it's just a basic drop spindle, though I'm planning on selling most if not all of the stuff I sorted out on a French site called Leboncoin since I'm in France, not sure where you're based but it may be a better deal to buy one locally 😊

@@SylviasStuff I’m a fan of giving them away…let someone else find joy with them and make something beautiful.

Hahah j'avoue je n'ai pas pensé à compter, donc aucune idée de combien écheveaux 🤣🤣 Trop cool pour le knit eat, j'aimerais trop y aller !!
