What system do you use to organize your yarn?
By the size of the skein.
What furniture/storage systems do you use to organize your yarn?
Metal cube wall and totes.
How do you like to de-stash?
All yarn that I don’t use goes directly to our church. That team makes prayer shawls, blankets, etc. for those in need. By the way - I always complete my projects. It’s my rule.
More often than not, what colors are always in your office/yarn corner?
Every color you can think of. I love color.
Do you like to work in the same space where your yarn is stored? Why or why not?
No, I like to crochet in the living room where I can be with my family.
When you are working on a project, do you have a specific spot you put it when you aren't working on it, or does it follow you around beyond your space?
I have a specific spot.
How important is a well-organized yarn corner/office to your mental wellbeing?
Extremely. It makes me somewhat anxious if it’s not tended to.
Was the majority of your yarn bought with a project idea in mind?
Yes.
Share any tips or advice you have for someone who is trying to reorganize their stash.
It may seem overwhelming. Just set your mind to it and do it. Then, keep it up.
Share any current projects or promotions.
