Hi Coley. I did the same thing in 2018/19. I had yarn stashed all over the house and when I got it all collected and in one spot, I was amazed at all the yarn I had. I really had no idea that I had bought that much yarn. It took me back to my organizing. I loved watching this episode.
This and Retro Claude's de-stashing series is keeping me motivated to power through my wips ❤
Same!!!
Glad it helped motivate! 🥰
Ooo love the set up. I never thought of adding drawers instead of shelves. And you can still see everything because they are mesh. Thank you for the inspiration. Love it!
Thank you! I saw someone on instagram with the mesh drawers and I thought it was genius, for exactly those reasons. Thank you for watching.
Wow filtering planned projects by color and preorder is game changing
Right!! It's really helped me stay on top of my stash.
the green yarn you used for your seasons is so beautiful!!! i love variegated yarn so much, even for big projects. seeing the way flecks of color pool together makes otherwise simple projects so much more fun for me! i love your energy and i'm so excited for the de-stash :)
Thank you! 🥰
Dear Coley; How ironic I should find your video a few days after I began an organization project of my own. I added 30 stash entries to my Ravelry page and updated my quatities for sale. Boxed up lower quality yarn and 14" straight needles for donation. Also did some frogging with more to come. I love doing this; it makes me aware of what I already have for future projects. It is a nice surpise to locate yarn I forgot I had. Thanks for this great inspirational video; you have given me some great ideas for continuing my process. Take Care and Happy Knitting. ~ Lori ~
So happy I could give you some inspiration for your organization journey, happy knitting!
would have loved to see your planned patterns just a little bit longer, since I wasn’t able to see and read everything in the couple of seconds you showed them to us - maybe just as a suggestion for another video in the future! I love organizing videos and obviously yarn so I loved this video, Coley! ☺️🫶🏻
Thank you! ❤️
This was so exciting and so inspiring to watch ❤
As per the digital organisation - I’m more of a Ravelry user (read: I’m lazy and don’t want to do any extra work) but it was so satisfying to peek into your Notion setup. Looks great and so tailored to you 👏
Thank you so much! I feel you on the lazy part, ravelry is really great for that!
started watching and immediately thought well that's a pretty overachieving list of thing for one day lol
Great information
I love your energy and you editing so much ❤
Thank you so much! ❤
I love the music in your video😃
Your notion set up is giving me life! I’ve never used it before but I might have to give it a go!
10/10 reccomend! Notion has been such a game changer for me 😍
Your stash is beautiful💖
Looove how you organized and those ikea drawers!
Thank you!
Your notion is so beautiful and satisfying
Thank you 🥹
I am so happy I found your TH-cam channel today! I also am not a big fan of Ravelry, and after 5 minutes of viewing notion, it is definitely for me. Can't wait to watch more of your videos.
Yay!! So glad to have inspired an alternative to Ravlery. Thanks for watching.
You were RIGHT. Notion. Queen. 👑 I hadn’t heard of it before and thought you meant knitting notions. 🙈 but I’m thinking of starting an (audio) podcast with family (not about knitting or yarn. They don’t knit) and was thinking notion might have a lot of great applications for that and my ever expanding stash. You have beautiful yarns in your stash and great WIPS! I’m also in the process of deciding to frog my outline tank. It was my first garment knit and just assumed that the open stitches were yarn overs. And the gauge has def changed since my first pair of crap needles from Amazon to when I upgraded to knit pros. But now I’m worried that the fit might not be great for me either I’m plus sized but not very chesty so I thought I might get away with it. I’ll def need to reevaluate. Great video! Can’t wait to watch more! 💜💜
Great job. You have inspired me to frog my half and half. I had the same reaction to the project and yarn. I really enjoy using the purl soho merino fingering and might try that. The colors are lovely. But the linen quill is uncomfortable in my hands. I would love to know where to find a cabinet like yours. I am looking for a glass door cabinet with shelves and small footprint.
Thank you! Yes I also found the linen quill super uncomfortable to knit with. Life's too short to knit stuff that isn't sparking joy! My cabinet is from Ikea! It's a shorter billy bookcase with the Högbo doors.
I’m looking forward to see more of your knitting plans. They flashed by too fast for me and they looked like great picks!
Thank you!
Wha- ! This electric ball winder is amazing ! I didn't even know this stuff existed ! Well, I'm quite new to the yarn world too.
Right!? It’s from romarin, best investment I ever made!
looking at your yarn and im like "omg shes just like me!"
I spy explorer knits, red door and yarn addict which are like my three most frequented dyers lol!
Great minds think alike 😉
I feel like our interests have followed similar timelines! You were putting out tattoo content when I was researching tattoos, book content when I set my reading goal to be 100 books in one year, and now knitting content when I’m swimming in yarn! I’m hoping this knit era is a bad influence on my wallet 😂
This honestly made my day to hear 🥹 thank you for being along the way with me!
I finally put the yarns and pattern to go with it in their “kit”…i.e. ziplock bag. Those are then in bins, easy to grab the next project. Also keep all tools in rolling totes (Joann’s). Life is far less anxiety-laden.
Having some technical difficulties updating the site with destash yarn, so it will be happening Sunday, may 21st at 5pm pst instead!

What is the name of your ikea organizer with the drawers called? It’s a cute setup and I may have to copy it if you don’t mind,I’m in need of a craft room re organizing
They are pax wardrobes! I think the insert is called the Komplement mesh basket. Hope that helps 🌞
First comment for me
I feel the same way. It’s like. First time. But why I do this to myself. Story just had surgery gal. Bladder. But I didn’t expect a four storage container and three whole bagels of yarn balls. Eep. I’ll sleep well when I get to sleep i an hour or so.
Any tips would
Be wonderful. Help?!?! Please. Lol. Three days or so have been late nights hahah. We’ll back to winding cakes. Since I remember mikey from crochet crowd that if we had them in balls but cakes are bettter for them. So guess what I’m doing. Rewinding the yarn balls :$. I guess it had to be done sometimes. Right :). We’ll back to work. 😂.
But why do I do this to myself. I guess it has to be done sometime right :)but can’t go to sleep. Haha why meeeee 😅
No judging, maybe a little bit of jealously though, lol!
I am 27 as well and I am a new subscriber.
Thank you for subscribing!
i realise this may sound judgy so i want to say i mean this with so judgment whatsoever: how do you buy yarn without knowing what to use it for? how do you know how much to buy? when i see random yarn i like i never buy it because i dont know what i will use it for. can someone please explain their thought proccess so i can maybe also by random yarn i like?
I personally try and not do it often, I always try and go into it with a plan. Sometimes though I buy yarn for a project idea and match the yardage to that, and then change my mind and don't want to knit that pattern anymore. In general though, I know roughly the average yardage it takes me for a plain stockinette sweater and I will base it off of that!
i unfocused and suddenly heard „harry styles” and almost jumped because of that
Hehehe I love that 🤣
You mentioned Harry Styles. I am knitting a Harry Styles cardigan.
Oh that's so fun!! Are you doing the JW Anderson one?
