So fun to see how you make the most of your space. Also, this was soooo therapeutic to watch 😌
omg i love that you watch her videos!! y'all are my favorite crocheters :D
hiii, i love your videos, both of you inspire me so much
Toni!!!!! I love your channel. I started learning how to tunnisian crochet through your videos!! Haven't done much, but I want to get a Tunisian crochet hook soon!! 💛
Didn’t expect to see my two favourite crochet channels combine, but they did and this just made my day 😛😛😛 love you 😍
A queen compliments another queen🤩👑
She was pulling yarn out of so many different places in the beginning 😂😂 I was like woah she wasn’t kidding 😂
These sort of yarn stashes and hauls make me want to have stores like Joanns in Europe so bad
I know right ???
Me too! Why cant europe (I'm in Ireland so we always get things YEARS late) have American and other stuff?
Literally if we had Joannes in poland I'd be there all the hecking time
I kinda wish that too.. but then i realised, i live in asia n the currency rate will dobel the original price.. so i got upset
tbh als je online kijkt bij sites als wolplein en handwerk dan hebben ze ook echt veel keus. De kleinere wolwinkeltjes in steden en dorpen zijn eig veel leuker dan die grote winkels in amerika😂 meer variatie en vaak goeie kwaliteit voor een redelijke prijs🤷🏻♀️
Is this a sign to clean my yarn 😕
Obviously it is but I SAY NO bc I’m lazy and don’t feel like it 🤪✨🕺
I'm the same 🤣😂
mooood
same i have like 2 laundry baskets full of it and it is all over my room lol
This video made me realize just how insane my yarn stash is...
I can't wait to have a whole craft room when I get my own place. Currently my yarn is stored in a laundry basket and one of those folding ottoman things from bed bath and beyond 😭
The dream yarn space is a WHOLE MOOD❤️❤️
Anyone else just pile their yarn in a big box and have to dig to find colours 😂😂
@MACKENZIE KNIGHT oooou i have a bedside table that can do that too its so convenient lol
Yes 🙌🏼
no of course not. mine is in 4 large kitchen trash bags because i'm out of storage and idk what to do 😏
I use beer boxes, for the dividers 🤣
@@aidenr594 wait that’s really smart-
Fab video. You should treat yourself to a yarn winder, it keeps the open balls of yarn tidy and, in my opinion, takes up less room x
It really does I have one and it has saved me
I have one too and it keeps my yarn from tangling and it's easier to store your yarn.
I was just going to comment this
I do this and it’s so much easier to store!
I came here to comment this. - so bulky to store without making yarn cakes. - get a winder and you won’t have as big a problem to deal with. 😅or maybe a bigger one, once I wound my stash I realized I had more space to fill. 🤦🏻♀️
I love it when people organize their yarn im obsessed with watching them im actually a beginner to crochet i have done 3 projects till now and i ran out of yarn and i dont really get alot cuz i have a low budget but hopefully in the future when i start working on more serious projects i will have more :))
You can get yarns from old sweater.
Dollar tree yarn is also pretty good to use for beginners. I started knitting and crocheting last year and the rolls are only a $1 and some change so it's good prices for beginning.
i have on thing of yarn and i have and 3 pairs of leg warmers
omg more organizing yessssss, everyone is organizing
Honestly I applaud you for storing so much yarn in your college housing. I only ever had less than 10 skeins of yarn in my dorm (the rest was at my house lol) and even that was a pain sometimes
a 1/4 of the reason y i watch ur videos is that i love vibing to ur signature background music lol
Who else is literally 80 years old and crochets while watching videos about yarn😉😭
me lol i was literally working on a blanket for my bestie while watching this xD
i'm 29, but yes i'm crocheting while watching crochet/yarn videos
@@icefox94 same but I’m 12
Well im almost 70 and yes i crochet while watching yarn hauls or yarn unboxing
I have 13 tubs full of yarn and 1 tub of WIPS
i really love your videos because they're realistic??? like so many other creators for knitting or crochet use crazy expensive yarn and act like acrylic is the worst thing to ever use, but it isnt?? there is some really good acrylics!
Yay! I love seeing other people’s yarn stash and how they organize it!
I use XL vacuum storage bags. I had 4 huge totes that were too big to fit anywhere. Now I have two vacuum bags that fit under my bed. They are clear so it’s easy to see what’s inside and they are reusable.
This so reminds me of my yarn stash. Tiny room, more yarn than space. Its amazing how we manage to fit it all
Omg when I say I have a lot of yarn gurlll you have so much more! I love your stash and all the colors!!
I lived in a studio apartment for years after moving from home. This is exactly how I stored my yarn, under the bed storage is wonderful. Now I have a two bedroom house so I can have a craft room but it took time and work. You will get there :)
I have a 3x3 block IKEA storage unit in my room and I use it to organize my yearn by color.
The first block is Red-Pink, second is Yellow-Orange, third is green, fourth is blue-purple, and fifth is white-tan, and sixth is black-grey.
It’s not too full rn because I have to restock soon but I keep everything relatively organized
I keep all of my yarn in a 6-foot tall cabinet! I bought a metal one online for $300 (don't ever buy one made from the cheap cork stuff, you can't move without completely breaking it!) and since I run a crochet business I have found it helpful for storing my $1,000 worth of yarn :D (it also takes up much less space than it sounds because its mostly just tall.)
I want to start my own but I am needing to get a bunch of yarn to even start.
I love to buy my yarn at my local thrift store because it’s always $1
I also love getting sweaters from the thrift store to unravel if i like their yarn! {i live in a southern state where it’s 90° F or hotter year round so the sweater section is always overflowing}
For storage I use one of those cube storage shelf’s from target so i can see it all and it surprisingly holds a ton! I have the one with 6 cube spaces and it’s perfect for my space! :)
omg the big bulk balls of yarn are sooooo huge 😱 such a great idea to store them under your bed for extra space!!
Clever storage ideas! I have a wall of cube shelves in our family room, and several totes in the basement. I've been curating my stash ( it's name is Herb) for over 30 years.
Ideas for the leftover plushie yarn you have:
Winnie the Pooh, Kirby and a frog.💜💜
You have done a fantastic job! A few suggestions for you to consider. Purchase a yarn winder to cake the unlabelled yarns and save even more space. Also, if you have access to a digital kitchen scale and calculator, you can calculate how much yarn is left for the unlabelled yarns. I did all this with the help of TH-cam videos and was amazed how much space became available. Hubby bought a winder for me and after he saw how much more space there was he bought me more yarn. Loved watching your video!
It is awesome to see another crocheter in college!!! Thanks for sharing these awesome organization ideas!!!
Im currently working on moving out of my dorm in two weeks so this was perfect timing to tell me to clean out my stuff and finish up partial projects
I haven’t crocheted anything since before my exam season so I’m definitely gonna crochet more this summer
I love red heart yarn too! I love the weight and texture of it!
You should make a big scrap blanket with all of that soft bernat blanket yarn 😍
and I store my yarn in my chaise lounge that doubles as a treasure chest of sorts (I also don’t have tons of space) but it works well!
Loved seeing all of the organization! I recently went through my stash and wound up all of my skeins with a ball winder! It was only, like, $26USD or so on amazon and ohhhh boyyyy it's such a great investment. Cakes/balls help with neat organization so much, I definitely recommend grabbing one for yourself!
I’m so happy you made this! I’ve been trying to figure out how to store my yarn and the videos I’ve been watching are like a room filled with yarn being reorganized and like...that’s my dream but I need something for my small space LOL
I love basic stitch and big twist ohh my gosh
Great vid!!
0:57 bro that squishmallow stash tho-

First of all, love you and your content. Best discovery of 2020. Second, I can’t remember if you have a ball winder (if not you can buy one decently priced on Amazon) they are an amazing investment. It helps shrink your yarn back into a smaller skein and it saves a ton of space! (Plus it keeps your yarn from ending up in a tangled mess later)
I have been waiting for you to post all week yay 🥰
i made some cardigans out of the bernat blanket yarn and it took up probably 3 full skeins and was super quick to work up! basically did 4 large squares for the back, 2 for each front panel and then arms!
i love videos like this so much, yarn hauls, yarn stashes, its just so satisfying to watch omg. but it always makes me wanna go yarn shopping, which is bad for my bank account dkjfskfd.
also those under the bed storage bins are super smart! i love how they zip closed too! if yarn gets dusty and gross, it is so hard to clean it up,,,,,,
i have a cube shelf in my room, with these little fabric bins, and they perfectly hold my usual brand (caron simply soft), like i can put the skeins in vertically, 4 by 4, and then an extra 3 or 4 skeins on the top laying down. so i have 3 bins full of whole or almost whole skeins, and i have one bin with all the skeins that are like, 3/4 left or less, yknow. even that isnt enough space sometimes though kdjfsdk. i just bought lion brand's skein tones, like 1 of almost each color, and those are still in the box on my floor, cause idk where to put them lmao. im also kinda weird about mixing yarn brands, so like, i dont wanna put different yarns in the same bin. so thats a problem i made for myself, but whatever sdfkjsdfj
For the blanket yarn, you could make a crazy blanket, if you wanna use it up and just pick a cool stitch and go with it, change colors whenever it feels right. If you weigh it you can calculate how much you'll use and therefore what size to make (starting chain)
What kind of yarn were those big skeins on the left? The yarn looked to be size 4 or 5 but that skein was huge! It looks so soft too
I think it might be a good idea to get a ball winder to make it easier to keep your yarn storage neater. I have one and I love it! Also love your videos!!! 💜💜💜
So much yarn! Feels like butta is my favorite
mine too!
Loved the longer video!❤️
I also get my yarn at Joanns!! But I love big twist I only love some of the red heart. I stored my yarn in those little cloth bins you can get at target for like $4 but since I moved into my own apartment I’m going to get a shelving unit to have it all out!! I love your videos btw!!! ❤️
If anyone is crocheting on a budget, I would recommend the Main Stays yarn from Walmart! It’s only $2.50 for 397 yds (363 m) of 100% acrylic yarn. I pretty much only ever use 4 weight yarn, so this is perfect. But, my close second favorite yarn is the Red Heart Super saver yarn, which you can also get from Walmart. Finally, if you’re on the hunt for a good quality super fluffy yarn, I absolutely love the Yarnspirations Bernat Velvet Plus yarn. My favorite thing about this yarn is that it hardly sheds at all, which I’ve noticed in many other fluffy yarns. Hopes this helps!!!
Girl, we’re not even gonna talk about what my yarn collection looks like 😂 you’ve definitely inspired me to invest in better storage cause I need it!!
My mom and I are not only crafters we are collectors, so our craft supply collection sometimes grows exponentially lol. I had to start walking around the craft store without my wallet (or my boyfriend who while he supports my creativity also reminds me I don’t have the money to keep expanding my collection). Without a money source in my pocket it requires that I truly consider if I need/want what I am about to buy lol.
getting a yarn winder is also such a life saver with organizing yarn !
Dude your so organized!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS WHILE I WATCH I CROCHET YOU HELP ME AS A YOUNG CROCHETER
I keep most of my yarn on a shelf in dollar tree baskets as well as one large white crate from Walmart 😅 definitely should get some under bed storage since my little rolling cart is over flowing with new yarn as well
Hello Anna ,
Great video....you also can store your wool in a vacuum bag . These bags are used to minimise bulk .
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
if you have money/ the time to do it, buy a yarn winder from Walmart (thats where I got mine!) It makes your yarn it to cakes with a center pull so your yarn does not tangle as easy and it makes everything look so much more neat!Its so satisfying!
This is the earliest I’ve ever been.😩 -Love your videos!
Hi, i feel your pain, though im not in college, im in a one bedroom apartment and my yarn is my "wallpaper" and set up on 6 plastic shelving units. I do have a suggestion that i do with smaller almost used up skeins that are more of a mess. I put them in ziploc bagsj ($1 at dollar tree) so they don't get tangled with other yarns. i have all mine separated by colors and weights... good job utilizing your small space and clear trash bags work well too. I also use round containers from dollar tree to separate my projects to keep them from getting mixed up, i stand the yarn up with the center pull and don't have to remove them to work on my project. good luck on your studies and so glad you are working towards your goals.
I got a yarn winder to organize all my yarn before I moved into my dorm. My mom loved the results lol
A yarn winder is a game changer! You should try it
Hi Anna! Hope you're doing well, girl. ☺ Love that you did this. If you wanna see about optimizing small spaces, see if you can get a ball winder for the used balls of yarn. You can turn them into cakes and it is so satisfying to see all of them lined up however you store them. Total game changer for me bc I don't have the luxury of a lot of space for all my crafts supplies hehe. 🤩 Also, I love your leggings, color is so pretty and looks super comfy 😊
why was this so satisfying too watch?
I got those metal cubes you build yourself on Amazon they can be built in several ways so it is useful in all kinds of spaces so maybe consider that for your room at home? They are only like $30 a box and a box gives u like a lot of cubes. If you build it so it is open in the front and back like the ikea cubes you can get an extra 2 cubes instead of building it the way they says w one opening. Since yarn is not heavy I did this and it has been fine! I built a set of cubes in my closest that store my massive collection of yarn, it’s really bad...I could open a shop honestly but it is my therapy to collect yarn lol I works very stressful job and I work a lot of overtime every week and even if I can’t crochet that day...just looking at and touching pretty yarn helps. I am considering changing the whole thing so the is yarn out on display in my office and not in my office closet but right now I don’t have the time for the make over so maybe this summer! I like your soft under bed storage because I bet it fits more than the firm ones I have for clothes! Good job!
organisation ugh my love
I do store my yarn under my bed as you do, because i too have so many! The only difference is i arrange them vertically so i can see all the colors at once.
it's the paper taped to the wall that says DECORATION for me
thank you i needed this reminder
I just stumbled upon your channel quite recently and LOVE it!!!! :)
I love your videos!
Hey Anna I wanted to tell you about a yarn winder, it’s from knitpicks, and when I got mine IT WAS A LIFE SAVER you can get it on Amazon. It’s really easy to use and very small. 100% recommend!! Btw love your channel 💛
I have been waiting for this video for ever Great job have a great day
I loved this! I'm more of a bracelet maker but I can kinda crochet too!
The big twist yarn that you’re using to make the currents what her vest did you see the very light pink color I made a keyhole scarf for my mother-in-law with the Alpine stitch for Christmas I loved that scarf love the color is beautiful it’s like a blush pink
so cool! love it
I wish had found containers similar to yours! I reused produce boxes and two wicker baskets to contain the stash
Early enough that there’s still many hours left in my day to organize too 🥺
Yayyyy hellooo i love ur personalityy
Crocheting as you organize your collection 🧶🧵
What I want for Christmas
I have that exact yarn bin....lol. Good content keep it up !
I recently reorganized my yarn too! LOL🙂
I have tons of yarn too.. but when I go to Hobby Lobby I really can’t help myself and I buy more 😂 like this one doesn’t feel like that one.. even though it’s the same color 😆 I love your stash!!
Maybe you should look into getting a large ball winder to help with half finished skeins, it might help with organization. Great video :)
yessssss
honestly i love just seeing yarn
personally my favorite brand is paintbox!! i sadly only have acrylic from them buT they sell cotton for the same price as acrylic!!!! i think it is only available on the lovecraft website tho,, i love it
vacuum pack! saves so much space
My yarn organization right now is a plastic tub from target lol. Maybe one day it will be on some nice shelves.
I get my yarn from Micheals. Sometimes Walmart. Use to get some yarn from my local thrift store but its been a while since I've been in.
_ahhhh, you've made the video!!!_
I have yarn under my bed too great idea for what your used to storage your yarn a great share😁🧶🧶🧶
I had a bug infestation problem a few months ago and all my yarn that was out on display got contaminated and some of my projects had holes in them from the insects, so I would advise to put your yarn/projects in airtight bins
What I do when storing yarn is a take a craft drawer, reserve one space for my yarn and crafts then the rest for other miceleanous things!
That was fun watching
I'm getting so jealous. In Denmark, the standard size of a skein is a measly 50 grams. Every big project has a lot of knots 😭
Tysm! I was actually gonna organize my yarn in a couple days & this is perfect timing! Hope mine won't look like a colorful hairball anymore.
I love the basic stitch yarn and Bernat velvet yarn you should definitely try the velvet yarn
We have matching mint bunny squishmellows 😭💕💕💕💕
Wecrochet has some delicious affordable yarn! My fav is brava which is an acrylic and dishie is a cotton yarn
You have a lot of beautiful colors
Anna : i haven't been using this yarn ,i don't know what to do with it
me who my mom will not allow to buy any more yarn until i'm done with the vest i'm working on:GIVE IT TO ME
Hey! I was wondering what the differences between big twist and red heart super saver are - I've never used it before.
My family tells me I have too much yarn and I agreed until now 😆
I would like to see what your blanket looks like. I work at Amherst College but I probably won't be working till September.
