Great suggestions with a lot to think about. I don't have room for a lot of bins, so I do have my wool in shoe hangers which I hang from the ceiling. But after watching this I decided to take the wool and place it in large zip lock bags then put it in the shoe hangers. I also dug out all those sheet & blanket plastic bags I've been saving (I knew they'd come in handy one day)! This not only protects the wool but also compacted it. I like it! I can now pull down a bag with browns or greys (etc) and see what I need so much easier. Thanks Marie!
Oh, Marie...so great to see you and your wonderful smile and sunny disposition ... you are a joy 💕. And, whew-wee...do I need this show...you are my role model. I may need to watch this several times 😂
Thanks for recording , sorry you had technical difficulties 🤗 love the container ideas I am setting up a new studio and this is very helpful. 😘 to you and the fairies 🧚
I've gone through so many different storage ideas as my stash grew. Leading to a real mess of multiple containers. Now I want to throw away all the various containers and go for clear plastic! So love the bling storage idea and it was such fun seeing that drum carder in action!
It can be a challenge to get all matching. I even wish all of the handle colors to be the same, but EASE and FUNCTION are the most important. Have fun reorganizing!
Great storage idea. I have most of my wool in $5 jars from Ikea with air tight lids. No bugs getting in there, but i like the idea of clear totes as well. I really like the idea of storing the colors together. I might have to rethink my storage....
Thank you for recording this today! I am sorry you had the stress of technical difficulties but we appreciate you! This confirms that I need some new storage bins that are closed. I also really want a drum carder!
It's so funny that you did this video today as I have been racking my brain for days trying to figure out how to organize my wool stuffs. My kitty LOVES the wool and I had to learn the hard way that I can't leave any on my craft table. He makes himself a nice little nest and the wool kind of "melds." Time for the Cat Cave Kit? Thanks Marie - you all are so awesome!
Thank you Marie!!!! You always give us so many beautiful ideas, easy to do and with a lot of love. You give me all the energy I needed to start my day😍🥰
Thanks Marie for filming and posting. It seems like I am forever reorganizing. I'm a very messy felter. haha I save every kind of zip lock bag I get to store all my fibres in. Then I put them in bins. My Bin labels are: Scraps/WIP/Yarn/Fabric/Embellishments/Tools (ie carding brushes, wires, pliers etc)/Finished/Wet Felting supplies/Locks. I also have shoe holders hung on the door so I have fibres there to grab as well. They are organized into wet and needle felting fibres.
Thank you for sharing and I really like the drum carder! Maybe a gift for myself around the holidays! Love the glass jars as it's a nice way to also add color and decoration on the shelf!
I love Marie's hat! I want to learn to make hats like that. On my ever growing list of projects...Dang it, I really want a drum carder. But I for sure have NO room for one. I just need a bigger, more organized craft room. :-)
What a cool tool the drum carder is!. I saw beautiful sunsets in the example. I keep all my kits in a plastic container as well. Another use for the plastic containers is a tool box, for needles, soaps, browser, netting, plastic etc.. I would love to see a demo of the web and nuno wet felted scarves. These may have already been done? Thanks for the great ideas.
Was here for Wooly Wed. and sad that things didn't go well, but I was almost hesitant to watch this replay because of my total ineptitude at decluttering and the fact that it's not just wool I need to deal with in my craft room. I was previously a paper crafter and my room was already a total disaster from all of that, but Covid has left me mojoless for that activity. Thank heaven for needle felting or I would have gone totally insane by now. I had to laugh at the comment about one's acquisitions far surpassing one's productivity because that is me! My wool is currently residing in plastic bags and boxes that sit in the unused bathtub/shower off of my craft room. For me it will have to be "baby steps" but I was THRILLED at the mention of the zippered plastic bags from bed linens and pillows because I HAVE SOME! I'm starting RIGHT NOW! Thanks so much! BTW, I covet your drum carder. LOL
Thank you for doing this video! It is really helpful. I have a question though - I am allergic to lavender, can you recommend another essential oil that will help protect my fibers? I read somewhere that cedar wood blocks work as well. Is this true or is there another alternative.
I have a question, I would love to have a drum carder....can't yet...but my question is can you use a fiber board im still new to all this and would that be a cheaper way, but good enough way to have more of a batt ? Just curious 🤔
Hi, Good idea for storage felt on boxes but for me it needs a lot of place to stock boxes. My felt are in a big basket but I don't see very weel colours. It's an inconvenient to take one which is at the bottom of the basket. So I thinking of a way to take felt easily and which no needs much place. There is not many choices. If you have other ideas I will be interested. :)
It really depends how far you have felted something... and whether you are needle felting or wet felting...what stage, etc. It's just not an easy question to answer with I ut seeing the piece.
Would you mind posting your favorite cleaning products that you mentioned in this TH-cam - a baseboard cleaner, a Whole Foods cleaner, and a Biokleen? Thank you!

That is awesome, Brenda!!
OMG! Trash batts!!! What an amazing idea!!
My favorite containers are the Sterilite gasket boxes. Clear boxes with snap closure and a gasket to keep the bugs out. LOVE! Several different sizes.
Thanks 😊 I'm watching from my vacation this week! Inspiration when I go home!
have a great vacation!! :)
Oh, Marie...so great to see you and your wonderful smile and sunny disposition ... you are a joy 💕. And, whew-wee...do I need this show...you are my role model. I may need to watch this several times 😂
🤗 Big hugs, Dawn!
Love the trash batts!!
Love your cleaning products!
Great tips for all crafting!
Love all the ideas about cleaning, storing, and using our fiber stash.
So sorry you have had trouble with TH-cam. So glad you filmed it anyway!
Great suggestions!
Great idea for the trash Batts. I keep the little bits but didn't know what to do with them. Thanks!
Thanks for going ahead with this and recording it!
Thanks for recording , sorry you had technical difficulties 🤗 love the container ideas I am setting up a new studio and this is very helpful. 😘 to you and the fairies 🧚
Thanks so much for the ideas. It's always a challenge for me. I loved the shoebox idea too!
Thank you for the tips !! I just purchased a bunch of clear bins, I love them! Now to find a label maker!!!!
Oh yes!! The label maker! :)
Thank you for doing this video.

I agree, clear bins seem to be the smartest. I have some clear bins, but I have some solid Rubbermaid ones too, but I have them labelled.
It can be a challenge to get all matching. I even wish all of the handle colors to be the same, but EASE and FUNCTION are the most important. Have fun reorganizing!
Thank you for recording this. The cleaning and storage ideas are great, but I really loved seeing you carding trash batts. See you on the next stream!
Thank you Marie for giving us these great tips for storing wool and what type of products to use for cleaning!
Thank you for giving great ideas. Lol my stuff is in boxes all over the 🏠
This is very helpful
Loved this! Also, shout out to Holly, your back spaces always look amazing 🤩
Holly, that back wall looks fab always. 😎 Nice work!
Thanks for the hat cleaning ideas.
Thank you for recording this!
Very helpful, thank you!!
So many Great ideas! And now I want a drum carder!!!!! X love from Australia x
Thank you for your efforts :)
I just redid my area. I took everything out of the drawers and placed them in open bins. I wanted to see what I have. It’s working so far
I love using these clear plastic boxes, they're so practical and I never have to throw them away, they stay with me forever. Very useful!
I love the storage ideas, especially the art bins!
Thanks for doing this!
wow, I loved this thank you, I have my wool in clear boxes ... but i need more lavender :)
Thank you so much for doing this
Thank you! When I checked FB this afternoon and noticed this video, I had just started to declutter my own studio. Perfect timing.
Wishing you good fun in resetting your space@
Love that you gave us so many options to address any budget! I appreciate all of the wonderful knowledge and tips❤️❤️
So happy to help!
Great storage idea. I have most of my wool in $5 jars from Ikea with air tight lids. No bugs getting in there, but i like the idea of clear totes as well. I really like the idea of storing the colors together. I might have to rethink my storage....
So fun!! I got lots of ideas from this!
Thank you!!
So happy to hear it!
I loved the plastic boxes! I also loved the steps to declutter! Thanks!
I like the art bins and leaving them sideways on your shelve. Very handy.
You have such good ideas, thank you.
Thank you Marie, for the tips and info for to care for our stash. Have a good day and stay safe. 💜
Thank you for recording this today! I am sorry you had the stress of technical difficulties but we appreciate you! This confirms that I need some new storage bins that are closed. I also really want a drum carder!
You will love it, we will do some more carding next week!

Sweet kitty... 🐱
Norwex makes some wonderful microfiber cloths!
So glad you took the extra time to record this for us! You shared so many great ideas that got me thinking!
Love all these suggestions! So many great ideas that I can use in my craft storage space!
Great Wooly Wednesday going to reorganize my art studio soon , love the containers
Thank you Marie!!!! You always give us so many beautiful ideas, easy to do and with a lot of love. You give me all the energy I needed to start my day😍🥰
Thanks so much for this, currently sitting surrounded by bags and boxes of wool and this really helps to clarify what I need to do xxx

Sounds like a fun assortment of supplies!

Thank you so much, was just discussing shelving and storage options the other day!
Thank you for doing this. I have Yardley lavendar soap in some of my bins. I use the soap for wet felted soaps and keep the extras in my bins.
Great show and encourages me to get my studio in order. Thanks!
Really enjoying all of these great ideas! Most of my fiber is pretty organized since my move, but there are always things I miss.
Just when I needed this most!
I love Marie's hat! I want to learn to make hats like that. On my ever growing list of projects...Dang it, I really want a drum carder. But I for sure have NO room for one. I just need a bigger, more organized craft room. :-)

Where did my fares fly off to ....miss ya ladies...background looks fab🤣
Thank you for doing this video! It is really helpful. I have a question though - I am allergic to lavender, can you recommend another essential oil that will help protect my fibers? I read somewhere that cedar wood blocks work as well. Is this true or is there another alternative.
I was just at Michael's, all storage is 40% off!
wow...that is cool! We also saw SIMILAR scrapbook boxes at Hobby Lobby, not quite as thick...and no handle, but less expensive.
I have a question, I would love to have a drum carder....can't yet...but my question is can you use a fiber board im still new to all this and would that be a cheaper way, but good enough way to have more of a batt ? Just curious 🤔
We are bringing out the Blending board and hand cards next week...yes, you can use them for this :)

Hi im very very very new to felting and i wanna know, if i mess up can i still restart or is the felt/wool now unusable? Pls answer:))
It really depends how far you have felted something... and whether you are needle felting or wet felting...what stage, etc. It's just not an easy question to answer with I ut seeing the piece.
Perfect timing. Was hoping to attend Wooly Wednesday Live and ask for suggestions for organizing my studio!
Would you mind posting your favorite cleaning products that you mentioned in this TH-cam - a baseboard cleaner, a Whole Foods cleaner, and a Biokleen? Thank you!
Marie, you are so beautiful!
The small, "messy" bits look way too familiar to me!!!
:) Oh...we GET IT, Anne!
