I haven't crocheted all day but I was still playing with yarn!

1 comments

I got a new toy!! I LOVE my new yarn winder I ordered with a 50% off coupon from JoAnn's.


Yarn wound with yarn winder Posted by Picasa

The ball on the right is what the yarn looked like before I wound it with my yarn winder. Look how much smaller and compact it is! It is super easy to use and makes a nice little center pull skein. I LOVE it, love it, LOVE it!!

Now, between my winder and my storage idea solution I'm imagining I think I've finally come up with the right yarn storage solution for me.
That brings me to my next plea...
I am collecting 1/2 gallon milk or juice cartons. If you will save these for me, I will pay postage for you to mail them to me. I know it sounds strange but I am going to use these to make my own yarn storage system. I need for my yarn to be visible and not packed away in storage containers. I will fashion a sort of shelving out of many horizontally placed cartons that I'll figure out how to decorate later....maybe wrapping with contact paper. I don't know yet, that's the easy part. With my yarn re-wound with my yarn winder, I will be able to stack several skeins of the same color in one carton. Without the yarn winder, I would have only been able to fit one skein. My BIGGEST problem is coming up with enough cartons! We go through alot of milk and I've started several half gallons instead of a gallon jug at a time for this reason. It's still going to take me a while though so I need all the help I can get! If anyone is willing to help me out, please email me!

What next?

    I saw those ball winders but thought they might not work well. But I see they do. I'm gonna have to check into one. I love those little yarn cakes...I'm an organizational freak!
