So, do you love yarn? Like really love yarn? I know I have loved yarn and natural fiber for years. Recently though, I have had to do some rearranging in my house due to taking on a member of our family moving in soon so have had to move out of the room that I was using as my craft room. Now into part of my living room.
In the process of doing all this I have had to go through my stash as I have had to move it all and come to the realization that I had a lot more yarn then I had remembered. I have now filled at least two large bags full of yarn to donate as it is stuff that does not bring me joy or I see working with in the near future. I’m still not done by the way. As you can see from the picture my shelving is pretty full already. Granted parts of those shelves has yarn for items I’m making for the markets coming up and sales online in my shop as well.
I guess you could call this my jump on spring cleaning. Which in some ways is a good thing since it clearly was needed. I try to do it at least once or twice a year but now it is extra full on as my space is more limited now. A little stressful yet also a relief as I am clearing out things I will not use and finding projects I had started but not finished and will probably either rip out or consider finishing them. Stay tuned for more on that.
In conclusion, all of this has shown me that I need to be more mindful of what I am spending for yarn and making sure I have something in mind to do with it given my limited space to keep it. It’s all good and much needed. Til next time, keep crafting and for this month hope it includes some crochet. More in my next post on that.
