I think a fun video would be a clear the cubby. Pick a cubby and you have to use all the yarn in it and can show us what you make. Then you have an empty cubby when you can put some yarn from down stairs
People don't realize how easy it is for the stash to get out of control like this! I completely get it. I have a fairly small stash (3 totes) but I still get kinda overwhelmed and go through it to weed out stuff I haven't used. I'm currently on a yarn buying ban unless it's specifically for a project... Our apartment just doesn't have space.
Yeah I should probably go on a yarn buying ban myself. But then I ask my husband for approval and he says yes. He’s an enabler. So it’s really his fault 😂😂😂
Last year I used 423, 100g balls of yarn I make Cat blankets, hats Snoods,ear warmers & Fingerless gloves for various charities in my area of South Yorkshire UK
I have yarn in my living room and also in my crochet room I’m starting to work on. And I am still waiting on more to come.lol but they are all for projects planned ahead of time.
2 things 1. Suggestion: when you wind your skeins roll the label up and slip it into the center. Then you always have it and if you have to make more than 1 cake of it, write a label or print a copy of the information from the label from the website where you bought it (copy and paste or copy and print copy) and do the same thing. OR take the label and tape a piece of the yarn to it and put it in a binder so you can always refer bak to it when you need a color way or whatever info you might need from the label, but honestly the first thing is just easier! 2. I feel your pain on the yarn stash. At least you have a large quantity of it in book shelves. I have like 6 bins in my craft room closet (cant get into the craft room at the moment) 3 boxes in my hallway, 4 boxes in my living room and 6 large Joanns & hobby lobby bags in my living room. Thats just my yarn. I cant even begin to tell you about my fabric stash. You are not alone.
I normally do put the label inside or put the important parts but that wasn’t as visually pleasing for the video. Or it’s discontinued so it didn’t really matter what it was because I can’t get it any more! But I love the suggestion. Thank you for making me feel like I’m not alone!
Big respect in these kinds of videos because it takes a lot of effort to film yourself for a month. It's very okay that you weren't able to film everything I personally cannot imagine how much editing is done to make a video like this! Great work!
I had a huge stash and over the past year, I've been making it a point to work it down. It is finally just about manageable. It takes being focused on the goal and not buying anymore yarn unless you absolutely need it for a current project you are doing.
You never fail to come up with the most interesting video ideas. The ending was just as good the second time 😂 I'm glad you forgot to stop recording so we could see all the space you have now!
Honestly this video makes me so happy. I am moving and have a huge yarn/fiber stash. It’s almost embarrassing but seeing your video normalizes my stash.
I write down "goals" for the year and I track what I buy and what I have in FOs for the year. It is super satisfying over all. I haven't tried to just plow through for a single month.
Honestly, it was not a fail! You still went through a lot of yarn. But you just struggled keeping track of the yarn you didn’t have labels for. So you just need to find a better system to mindlessly or simply keep track of those skeins without labels… maybe a small clipping from the end of each skein?
I can TOTALLY relate!! My husband and kids are buried in yarn in my livingroom. I keep bringing it downstairs from my yarn room and now it's just everywhere 😅
I love this video somehow it encourages me to crochet a lot more than I would. I’m only quite young so I have to much school but I’m trying to crochet a lot for a market I have in November but I can’t crochet currently because Im on holidays and I couldn’t fit my yarn in my luggage😭 but anyways I have maybe watched this video like 5 times (LOVE YOU, YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR DOG).
How do you decide what plushies to make for markets? I am hopefully doing some this summer but I’m overwhelmed by the amount of cute patterns I’ve found. 😅
I wind a lot of yarn too and figured out a way to save my labels. I buy 1” tags from Amazon. I use the label and write on the tag and use a marker that closes to attach them to the ball I wound. It works So perfect!
Your not the only one girlfriend I have yarn in my bedroom living room and I have a craft room oh and let’s not forget the yarn in the garage and my storage unit 😂😅😮😢
Knitter here--Love watching your video. I, too, have enough yarn to open my own shop. Can a person open a Second Hand Yarn store? Anyway, I wanted to suggest that if you decide to keep labels-you can tuck them into the center of the cakes you wind. I keep my labels because I use various blends of yarns, and I attach the label to the item when I gift or donate it. I enjoy watching your videos.
When I wind a ball of yarn I fold the label and wind the yarn around it. I may have to unwind a ball of yarn to find out what it is, but I always know in the end. ;)
I totally get it, sometimes you just wake up and see what you’re doing 😂😂. I’m always reorganizing and it always turns a mess again. Hope you are better at this than me 😂
Maybe you could just weigh the skeins and keep running total. You could subtract the leftovers or not but you wouldn't have to fiddle with labels and missing labels. Also you didn't fail.
I subscribed not even 5 minutes in hahaha you are my long distance friend hahaha we live in a small trailer I have the same issue but all my yarn is in storage hahaha
I just try to buy and use for one or two projects at a time. However I’ve made one thing then started something else with the same yarn, frogged the first piece to finish the second because I liked the second piece better. I am also guilty of not buying enough to start with. I’m still waiting for a yarn to come back at Dollar Tree to finish a scarf started last year. I might have to do something else.
Hi i am new on your channel well i would say its life of crocheter cause i do have mine but when i see yarn in store i get overwhelmed well that's it cant control i find it normal❤so its ok
I’m so glad I’m not the only one with a large yarn “Resource Center.” I want to know how you crochet with the Bernat Blanket yarn? It drags on my hook SOOOO bad!!
@@crochetvision I don’t remember. I think the only hook I had in the size they recommended was a cheap plastic one. (Yeah - it needs to GO!!) I just couldn’t get the yarn to MOVE. It was like I was trying to crochet with wire. I do like the new Big Twist Posh, but the colors are super limited.
Dont be too harsh on yourself. It was a joy to watch. My creative space goes excactly the same.😂😂😂😂😂 O this project, o that nice yarn, o look a sale and before i know it, the space is full and my head also. But making it all, o thats an whole another journey😅
I would love to come sort your yarn. I love sorting things. Have you ever thought about using vacuum seal bags? Like sort by color/brand/project and vacuum seal it? And how can you crochet w/o looking??? That's amazing.
@@crochetvision You must use high quality vacuum bags. Mine always looses the seal after about 2 weeks, but by then, I don't care, because I have them stacked in a small space and they can only expand so much...
@@tashainjena no im saying the yarn doesn’t bounce back from being compressed. It loses some of its integrity and strength and fluffiness. I used to vacuum seal blankets and I had some of them get completely destroyed and they wouldn’t bounce back from the vacuum even after washing.
I don’t think you failed that hard. You still had the labels you put in the drawer and that’s so much space. I would love to see how much you use in a day, or a week. And then maybe go up to two weeks. Maybe a month later. Gradual steps.- Love, Aliyah
thank you so much for all your videos. Make my day i am so proud DE stash your yarn now you more for new yarn. you have amazing videos on TH-cam. i am so glad start doing a TH-cam channel It has been so much to watch your videos. can wait till your next videos get post. you still did really. yes you got really far what through what you did. i really hope you did it again. it was so fun. we need winder yarn now you have space
OMG, #passionknit Kelsie and Crystal at #bagoday crochet are my two favorite contecreators I watch the most on #TH-cam. They've inspired me to #crochet so many #crochettutorials from their #vlogs .✨️ ♥️ ✨️ ♡ ✨️ 🥰 ✨️ ♡ ✨️ ♥️ ✨️
I am in desperate need of yarn so I would gladly take some off your hands if you wanted to get rid of some. I was recently scammed out of $550 so I won’t be able to buy yarn for along time. Be careful of scammers on social media and email. Have a great weekend!! I am subscribed to your videos, yay!!

Oh I love that idea!!!!
Yeah take a cubby and make as many stuffies with it or hats
Also you can make pot holders or skillet sleeve out of cotton yarn

I'm fixing to start working thru my stash making stuff for my Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. Have to make a koala first... for VBS.
as a micheals employee and a fiber artist, i applaud you for the amount of blanket yarn you have and how creative you are
as a fiber artist, thank you for being a michael's employee
Last year I used 423, 100g balls of yarn I make Cat blankets, hats Snoods,ear warmers & Fingerless gloves for various charities in my area of South Yorkshire UK
That’s incredible! Keep up the good work!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that takes over the living room with yarn. My husband is so patient. 😂
😂😂😂 Mine is too. Thank the lord. Because if he wasn’t I’d have to crochet myself a new husband.
I have yarn in my living room and also in my crochet room I’m starting to work on. And I am still waiting on more to come.lol but they are all for projects planned ahead of time.

Thank you so much! That means so much💕
I don’t think you failed, you did really well!
Thank you!
I had a huge stash and over the past year, I've been making it a point to work it down. It is finally just about manageable. It takes being focused on the goal and not buying anymore yarn unless you absolutely need it for a current project you are doing.
Yeah the not buying more yarn. That … that’s the problem 😂😂
The b's are always great stash busters: beanies, bags, blankets etc..
You never fail to come up with the most interesting video ideas. The ending was just as good the second time 😂 I'm glad you forgot to stop recording so we could see all the space you have now!
You’re too sweet. Oh you know. Just my brain. Doing its brain thing 😂😂😂
Honestly this video makes me so happy. I am moving and have a huge yarn/fiber stash. It’s almost embarrassing but seeing your video normalizes my stash.
Yes! Normalize the stash
100% appreciate you showing this. I get this way with my yarn waaaaay too often and iIm working really hard to not let it get out of hand.
Oh yeah well. I let it get worse 😂😂
Those jelly fish!!! Sooooo great! You do such creative work, I always love seeing what you come up with. 💕
Awww thank you so much!! 💕💕💕
This was fun to watch,thank you, for sharing your time❤
Thank you!
This is so cool to watch you. I wish I had the patterns for some of your critters you make. Where do you find your cool patterns? 😊
I design most of them and sell them on my website!
I write down "goals" for the year and I track what I buy and what I have in FOs for the year. It is super satisfying over all. I haven't tried to just plow through for a single month.
I can’t imagine imagine trying to track all of that for a full year. I get way too distracted in just a month. I commend you
When you ball up yarn, fold the wrapper and stuff in the middle of the cake or ball. You'll have the wrapper when you finish.
Honestly, it was not a fail! You still went through a lot of yarn. But you just struggled keeping track of the yarn you didn’t have labels for. So you just need to find a better system to mindlessly or simply keep track of those skeins without labels… maybe a small clipping from the end of each skein?
I can TOTALLY relate!! My husband and kids are buried in yarn in my livingroom. I keep bringing it downstairs from my yarn room and now it's just everywhere 😅
Everywhere. Always 😂😂
Im so happy at the progress and all the yarn being used up. Now you gotta make sure everything you made sells out lol
That's the actual hard part lol
I love this video somehow it encourages me to crochet a lot more than I would. I’m only quite young so I have to much school but I’m trying to crochet a lot for a market I have in November but I can’t crochet currently because Im on holidays and I couldn’t fit my yarn in my luggage😭 but anyways I have maybe watched this video like 5 times (LOVE YOU, YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR DOG).
Awww thank you 💕
Do you know what pattern you used for the crabs at 13:48 in the video? Loved the video!!!
How do you decide what plushies to make for markets? I am hopefully doing some this summer but I’m overwhelmed by the amount of cute patterns I’ve found. 😅
I write most of my own patterns and use those
I think you did great! Definitely try it again! ❤
Thank you so much. June. I will try again in June 😂😂
I'd love another Video of this series!
But I'm also VERY interested in the choosing-a-cubby idea that was mentioned before🤗
It is in the works for the month of June. I haven’t tried the cubby yet. But I think I’m going to try
I save all my band in a year and in 2023 I used 292 balls cakes ranging from 100 meters to a 1000 meters each ball and cake
Wow!! I had trouble just in a month. I don’t think I’d be able to handle a year. That’s impressive
I wind a lot of yarn too and figured out a way to save my labels. I buy 1” tags from Amazon. I use the label and write on the tag and use a marker that closes to attach them to the ball I wound. It works So perfect!
Oh that’s a great idea!!
As a knitter who regularly works with lace weight, i’m so impressed by your speed 😂
Thank you!! As someone who only works with big yarn I commend you for working with lace. My eyes aren’t good enough to do that. I wish I could
@@crochetvision i get that! Idk if my eyes are even good enough anymore 😂
Thank you for showing your living room, because mine looks the same and it made me feel better that I'm not the only one.
I’m glad I could help. It’s a never ending struggle.
Ong those frogs are so cute
I am impressed.
Your not the only one girlfriend I have yarn in my bedroom living room and I have a craft room oh and let’s not forget the yarn in the garage and my storage unit 😂😅😮😢
Yeah I didn’t bring up the garage. Shhhh if it’s not in the house we don’t have to talk about it. That’s the secret
I love that u made room in your yarn stash and ur videos make my day ❤❤❤
... yeah ... made room... Not for long...

Thank you so much! Most of the time the yarn I cake is discontinued so I don’t normally care about the label. It just would have been useful here.
Yes, please try again another month!
I definitely will!
I dream of having that much yarn! lol ...There are so many blankets i want to make still. I will never have this problem because I crochet so much.
Hola guapisima !!!
que locura , como te organizas , me encanta lo que haces . ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!

I do crochet full time so I do need to have yarn on hand. I just may have gone a little overboard with the yarn on hand.
Great job!!
From what you kept track of i think the rest is probably accurate with 54. Good job
Thank you so much!
Blew my mind that you had some sold right away i love this what sells the best at your markets?
Every market is a different best seller. It depends on the area.
You're off to a great start ❤ love your stuffed ❤ keep going and no more buying yarn 😅 lol 😆
……: oops wait for an upcoming video… I did some… damage
hi.... that'a nice challenge you made, congrats... you say you want to clean up and re organize... that would be nice to watch...
Soon. It will happen soooooon
Enjoying your videos!
I’m so glad you like them! 💕

I’m so glad I’m not the only one with a large yarn “Resource Center.” I want to know how you crochet with the Bernat Blanket yarn? It drags on my hook SOOOO bad!!

Crocheting helps my anxiety/depression

Thank you!
Thumbs up, new subscriber :) Your creations are adorable!!!
Thank you so much!!

thank you so much for all your videos. Make my day i am so proud DE stash your yarn now you more for new yarn. you have amazing videos on TH-cam. i am so glad start doing a TH-cam channel It has been so much to watch your videos. can wait till your next videos get post. you still did really. yes you got really far what through what you did. i really hope you did it again. it was so fun. we need winder yarn now you have space
I will certainly try to do it again. No promises on keeping up though XD
My fabric stash looks like your yarn stash
They definitely go hand in hand for crafts and stashes
Well done! But am I the only one wondering how much stuffing you used 😂
😂😂😂😂 I should add that to the next one that’s too funny
Do a NO BYING FOR 1 MONTH
Yes but what would that video look like …
My office space doubles as my office and yarn room so I completely understand yarn taking over the house lol
Yes it is. The yarn should come with a warning on the label as highly addictive.
@@crochetvision For Sure!!! I know that and it still doesn't defer me lol
Hej, New subscriber. Like the koncept. More of that. Best regards, Susan, Denmark 🇩🇰❤
Thank you! I will try again in June!
My husband would lose his mind if I was like this, if I leave the skein I’m working on just laying out he threatens to throw it away 😭
I’m very lucky Ben is so understanding as long as I respect his couch. He knows I’m trying run a business even if it starts to take over.

Amazing! Love them! 💕💕
YOU DIDN'T FAIL!!!! What about just collecting the labels when finished and counting at the end of the month? Do a recap by week instead of daily?
I use up so much yarn I didn’t want people to think I was cheating.
@crochetvision you're a crochet vendor!! Of course you'll use more than most of us!!!😂🥰😂
I think if you do a vid organize your stash that would be great
I will be trying to change it up soon
Personally I think it's a win! Come on!!! you have 27 or 52 less skein of yarn.
Thank you so much💕💕
I am in desperate need of yarn so I would gladly take some off your hands if you wanted to get rid of some. I was recently scammed out of $550 so I won’t be able to buy yarn for along time. Be careful of scammers on social media and email. Have a great weekend!! I am subscribed to your videos, yay!!
I’m so sorry you got scammed. That’s so terrible
Honestly I keep buying but don't use it at the same rate
your house is a mess how do you work like this, all the stuff on the floor? doesn't it get dirty? do you sell stuff that touches the floor?
Thank you for your comment
@@crochetvision do you tho?
I'm so down for a stash reorganization video!
It needs to happen soon lol
I get it and love your vid
Thank you!
I can only imagine how many plushies you could make with your stash just as it is. 😅
Just wait until you see what I ordered... OOPS
I thought I had tons of yarn!!! Holy moly!
😬😬😬
The piles of doom! My roommate has ADHD and the piles are real. By the way what’s the yarn brand for the octopus @9:08 I’m mesmerized by the color

I have crippling ADHD so I feel this on so many levels. My husband can not do clutter.....its a stuggle....
Luckily my husband also has adhd so he is very understanding
Have a garage sale and only use what you need for each project
I will eventually use all the yarn. This is my full time job.
I enjoyed your video. I don’t think you failed but I know what you mean.
Thank you💕
How can you be so messy with the wool, wool on the floor and then dogs and dust, I would never buy from her for my children

This is the reality of running a small business if you think your retail stores are cleaner than my house you are vastly mistaken 😂😂
