My suggestion…if you don’t like the yarn color, donate the yarn. If you are not inspired by the yarn you have, donate all of it and start fresh with intentional purchases. Life is too short to spend time on things that don’t make you happy! Don’t feel bad about the cost of the yarn…the money is already spent…just be more intentional moving forward.
Dedicated scrap yarn user here! Double or even triple stranding the yarn can be a big way to refresh colors you don't like, crocheting rugs and heavy duty tote bags are also popular with this method - or you can use it to crochet baskets to put your yarn in! I also love crocheting scrappy hats, scarves, and tote bags - which can make excellent gifts! Small scraps are great to use for stuffing, which is usually what I do to colors I cannot hope to use up or rehome. If something exists like it in your area, seeking out fiber-crafts groups and seeing if they want to take any of it off your hands is also a great option. Hope this helps!
I keep some (most) of my gauge swatches. Especially if it’s yarn I will probably buy again. I refer to them when I try to choose yarn for a project and when I order new yarn… and sometimes as a gauge swatch for a new project (but don’t tell anybody… you’re not supposed to do that 😅)
Hello from Swansea, Illinois. My daughter and granddaughter are in the process of organizing my knitting room and I am looking forward to see how they do it. Considering that I just moved into a new home and everything is in boxes and containers. They have to unpack everything and put it away.
In terms of what to do with the gauge swatches: I've seen people make small bags. Don't know if that's your style, but I know ravelry has a pattern called Swatch Bag by Skaberglæde Maria if you need inspiration. Personally, I just unravel them and use the scraps as stuffing for amigurumi. Best of luck :)

Yes it does thank you 😍 A rug or a tote bag sound like something I'd actually get some use out of!

Oh I'm sure they'll do an amazing job! Hope it turns out lovely!

Thank you! A bag would be lovely in theory, but all my swatches are so wonky I don't think it'd work 🙈😁
Best of best!!!!!!!
Tiny baby stash xD I have had a shopping stop for 4 years now, and I still have 3 chests full. And overflow baskets.
Oh my, is that my future 😁
Schools for young children often accept small amounts of yarn for arts and crafts classes ❤
Oh never thought of that, but that is such a great idea, thank you!
Вероничка,ты умничка
Спасибо 💕
