This starts with five overview shots and then a few detail shots of some of my favorite things. For scale, I took the overview shots while standing on my coffee table. I don’t think Chaos is in any of these pictures (although he’ll make a guest appearance) because he was very busy in the closet that he’s never allowed into.
I have nine 66-quart Sterilite tubs, eight 33-quart Sterilite tubs, and all the “miscellaneous” in the first pictures. My conservative estimate is 1000 quarts of yarn… You can click on any of the pictures to make them larger.
Missing in action is another of those black crates, filled with bags of Cotton-Ease. I forgot that it was under the bed until just now…
I know storing yarn in plastic tubs isn’t supposed to be very good for it, since humidity can get trapped in the tubs. I solved that problem by sticking a refrigerator pack of baking soda into each tub.
“Mmmm… smells like salty yarn. Yum.”
A few detail shots… Here’s some of my Kureyon. There’s an Adrienne Vittadini kit (fuschia) that I won a few years ago on the right side of the bin. Some vintage Red Heart wool can be seen near the top of the photo. To the left of the bin are two skeins of Malabrigo.
A 33-quart bin of assorted Noro (mostly Kureyon):
A 66-quart bin of sock yarn, jammed very full:
A modestly sized basket with more sock yarn – Bearfoot, Fleece Artist, and Trekking:
Now I hope you’ll excuse me while I go squirrel away my yarn again… Oh yeah, all this yarny excess is stuffed into a 637-square foot condo. I haven’t resorted stuffing yarn into the furniture… yet.
Holy moly, girl! That’s an awesome stash! I had no idea about the plastic tub humidity thing. Good thing to know.
I got a giggle seeing your toes peeking out as well 😉 Cute!
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful yarn!
I can’t believe you stash all of that in a condo. You are the goddess of stash stashing.
You and I could quite get along on colors. I’m having to put all that yarn lust back in my heart.
Holy crap, you have a metric kilo-quart of yarn!!!
you just killed me.
Envy. That’s all I have to say.
The boyfriend is already afraid the yarn is going to revolt and start strangling up in our sleep. So I’ve been trying to go on a yarn diet. Eeck. I hate diets! But I LOVE your stash!!!
*comes up for air after having head buried on the sock yarn bin* well you def have lots of yummy stuff here and some great yellow for this month 🙂 Happy knitting!
Stuffing furnature with yarn? Why didn’t I think of that! I’m suffering from Noro envy now. Love the way Noro felts. Must stop looking now before my drool shorts out my keyboard.
I am so relieved to know that there are folks out there that are actually “sicker” (ha!) than me!!
Tee hee! I love your toes sneaking into the pictures!
