spring yarn cleaning..

Stinky - my helper ....
This past week my knitting stuff was reorganized again. The whole closet is officially taken over by this hobby. This was not an easy task and took 2 full days to sort and clean. My stash is slowly going down ;tring to be practical and save money . It helps to know what I actually have!

Before I had a desk in half of the closet that kept papers, passports etc.. Well- that was moved to the other room and this space is totally dedicated to KNITTING. Even the spinning wheel is out of it now. I found 2 cubicle storage ( wine) shelves in Target. They are on top of each other. An old bookcase in the garage was carted in for books and bins. The green cloth bins were found in Target on sale for 5.99!


I took all my sock yarns out of the bins and put them in one of the hanging shoe holders.

My Knit Picks Options , Harmony,Denise and new Addi click are all put back together and in the green bins . Button boxes and gadgets in a bin with all my baby patterns in one too.
All my project bags were emptied and organized with only 3 ufo's now.

Looking at this photos ;it still looks messy but what an improvement. All my lace yarns are in one row too.
I use natural Moth-A- Way but need to get some new replacements. I missed Rhinebeck this year and wont be going to Maryland so have to search for it someplace else?

Looks great! You got tons done. I'm afraid to spread out all my yarn - I know there is too much! Perhaps you can rent yourself out as a knit organizer!!

moth-a-way? Is this it? http://www.mothaway.com/

I have been meaning to organize my stash for some time. It is by no means large in comparison to some, but there is quite a bit of yarn. I did get a hanging shelf and a book shelf, but just haven't had the time. It seems the only time I feel motivated to clean and organize is late at night, which my family isn't usually too happy about. Haha.
