Let's see... Knitting and crocheting over 50 years... Married nearly 37 years, in the same house... Definitely Maximalist! Totes in the basement and under beds in all three bedrooms. Boxes in three closets. Bags and bins waiting to be inventoried into my Ravelry stash. I love the stash feature on Ravelry, because I can sort by color, weight, yardage, fiber. So even though I have over 25 places to look, I can find a particular yarn very quickly!

As a minimalist that lives in a very small space i need to keep things very organized. I recently donated an entire bag of yarn. When i was new to crochet i would buy yarn just because i thought it was pretty, regardless of quality. I tend to try and use as much as i can before buying. For example, i'm currently making some little fish keychains for a friend who's daughter's birthday party is an ocean theme and i have a glut of pink so pink fish it is! I tend to buy less but higher quality yarns which, for me, bring me more joy 🙂

I'm a planner, but I do purchase yarns on a whim at times. When I find a pattern that I know I want to make in the near future, I will purchase the yarn and anything else I might need (zippers, buttons, embellishments), print off the pattern and store it all together in a clear plastic bin. I also have a file on my computer where I keep track of all the patterns I plan on making, along with the yarn type and color I would like to use, and any notes. I make sure to have the picture of the completed project as well - to jog the memory! Might seem over the top but it works for me. It also gives me a record of what I have made, how it turned out, and a photo of the completed project. I also note if it was a gift. If it was, I add who I gave it to so that I don't repeat a gift!!

I am a planner who could possibly pass for a hoarder. 😊 I bought lots of yarn from sheer excitement to start new projects and then filled my time with gift projects to do now. That was most of last year (all gifts). Now I’m fitting in making some things for myself. There are always gifts to be made! The hoarding part is from stocking up on Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Cotton Yarn colors that are now discontinued (the most vibrant ones!). No regrets as they make me happy every time I see them and I will happily use them all. I store mostly in tote bins to keep them safe from bugs and dust. The cottons go in a blanket bag for lack of display space. I want a better system to see them but for now it works, and no more bags of yarn strewn around the floor of the living room! It’s fun to read how people keep their yarn, and thank you for the eye candy!

I’m pretty much a planner, and although I don’t need a organization system, I decided to watch this anyways 😂 And I organize my yarn by weight and color coordination. But when it comes to planning for future projects, I like to write down a list of projects I love to make over and over (since I sell my finished pieces) and the amount of yarn it needs, and I keep that list where I can see it all the time or in a place I 100% know where it is. And when I go out and buy yarn, I like to look at different types of yarn and let my imagination soar and I like to think of other projects I could make- but I have one rule while yarn shopping. Don’t buy any yarn you didn’t write down on your list! Unless you absolutely positively know you’re going to use it 🤣 Happy crocheting and knitting, y’all! 🧶❤️

There’s so much variation in yarn weights, brands, fibres etc. that it’s much MUCH harder to organize! Im trying though! 😂

@witchywoman4139 10 ай бұрын

Very much in the same boat! I'm a "Jill of all trades, master of none" when it comes to crafting, having done a little bit of everything. I definitely have some hoarder tendencies, because I keep mostly all of my craft supplies even if I'm no longer actively using them, "just in case." My most recent passion is embroidery, and like you, I have a ton of those supplies. My craft room is cluttered with all sorts of various crafting materials, so I'm keeping my embroidery supplies in my bedroom for now, in a sort of controlled-chaos fashion. Organizing my crafting supplies is high on my to-do list, and now after watching so many crochet vids by Elise and other passionate folks, I've rekindled my love affair with crochet. Because I have so much in the way of embroidery flosses and fabrics (and I have a tub of 20-30 year-old yarn that I've saved from my crochet days that is filled to the brim), I'm trying VERY hard to not buy much in the way of new yarn, seeing as how it's so much more bulky than embroidery floss, and I have absolutely no place to put it. My plan is to use up as much of my old yarn as possible before buying any new, but I've already gone ahead and bought a few balls that were just too appealing to resist, cramming them into the packed-full tub and securing the stressed lid as best I could. Best laid plans and all that!

My soul wants to be a Maximalist, but practicality has made me a planner. I live in a tiny remote town in the Canadian Arctic where I have zero opportunity to shop in person for yarn. Since I need to actually FEEL a yarn, I end up planning my projects, and then when I get south to civilization, I go to town filling my wish list. Ina few years, we will be retiring and are planning on full-time RV’ing until it’s no offer feasible. Once again, I will HAVE to be a planner completely because of space constraints. I know it’s not the end of the world by any stretch, but I SO envy your crazy room! It’s something I have always wanted to have, but northern homes are built with almost monastic practicality. 🤣

I was so glad I did; it makes picking yarn for a project much easier. Ideally I would inventory it all on ravelry but after doing a few I just gave up.

Knitting and crocheting for over 40 years. I'd say I have a maximalist personality. Yarn in totes, bins, plastic drawers, under the bed, and in a pantry type cupboard. Projects are also everywhere. My bedroom doubles as my craft room. I have organized by brand, some types (Cotton, Buffalo wool and Phentex), and weights. I created Excel spreadsheets for my stash inventory and included leftovers by weighing amount and calculating yardage. I attempted to do inventory into Ravelry but don't have the patience to photograph each category in my stash. I used to buy yarn at thrift stores and yard sales in order to add to yarns already in my stash. This year I am determined not to buy unless I have to use for specific project. I joined a knitting group hoping to be inspired enough to use my stash. I am still working on UFOs issues.

Planner here! I literally have an excel spreadsheet where I type all the details of the projects, one per page, all in an index in the first page which links to each project. Organized in priority and season. I might be making some winter garment for me but if someone's birthday or special day is coming, it would have more priority and leave other projects on pause. I save money on advance for the big sales throughout the year to buy a bunch of yarn and buy it with its projects on mind. They're organized by project in transparent plastic bags because of dust and moths. I currently have 4 projects: a poncho for my boyfriend that looks like one I made a couple years ago but in grey shades. A butterfly shawl for me in white, pastel pink, lilac and baby blue. A throw blanket for the living room and a set of place mats. That's their order of priority too. A whole lot of other projects are in queue depending on when I finish the mentioned ones

When I first started crocheting about five years ago, I bought way too much yarn of all types out of enthusiasm and ignorance. I loved seeing it displayed on shelves in my office. As my skills grew and my interest honed, I realized I only wanted to do amigurumi crochet. Currently, I'm only using Paintbox DK so that's easy to sort by color. I moved the yarn from shelves to plastic bins to keep it from getting dusty and, after labeling the bins, stacked them around my work area. That way I can easily see which colors I need to order. The system is working well for the time being, at least until I go off on a tangent and only crochet coasters.

I've found making yarn categories that work for me helps with organization. it goes something like: Specialty Yarns (angora, baby alpaca, thin hand dyed something or other), Cottons, Old Standards (red heart, I love this yarn), Chunky, Velvet/Chenille yarns, and WIP yarns.

Thanks for the breakdown of yarn stash types. I'm not sure which one I am, but I know I love seeing my yarn. I sort by color, type, and weight. But, I also have lots of variegated yarns that I'm not sure where they fit. I love your shelving system. I've got to figure out how to display some of my finished work better. Right now it's all in a see through bin. You gave me some great inspiration. Thanks again.

My sister had to downsize her stash when she moved in with her partner, so she passed quite a lot of yarn to me (added to my already quite good stash lol!). There are different weights and styles, some in whole balls, some part-used. There's not really enough of each yarn for a reasonable-sized project, so I've decided to organise by colour. I've found some blanket patterns to work in the round, and I'm going to use the more interesting yarns for a centre block, then use up others of the same weight and colour palette for a wider band around it, and THEN I'll add a nice edging to finish it off and bring it all together. Just about finished my first centre panel, so I'm going to hunt through it all tomorrow to find the complimentary colours ;)

I'm probably a Minimalist/Planner mutt, but I'm also a baby crocheter (started less then 6 months ago) and live in a 1-room Appartment. I keep my tools like hooks, stitch markers, darning needle and so on in a washbag. It was way cheaper then the bags advertised for knitting/chrocheting, is very sturdy because it's made from nylon, has enough compartments for my needs and enough space to pack smaller projects like coasters or granny squares plus the yarn I'd need when I travel. The rest of my yarn I keep in cardboard boxes organized by project. Since I don't have space for more then 3 or 4 projects it keeps it neat and it was a cheap option (but I know I'd have a lot more, if I had the space). For now I keep the "next in line projects" I don't have space for yet organized in an App. It allows me to note the yarn I picked either online or in the store, the pattern, hooksize and everything else, so when I finish something and can start a new project I know what yarn I picked and where to get it. This system allowed me to start crocheting for around 35€ (yarn not included) so it's very beginner friendly.

Great video Elise, and great timing as well. My hubby and I are about to hit the road permanently travelling and I still plan on crochet and knitting as we travel, so you have got me thinking about how I will organised my small stash🤔. Luckily I am a planner so I normally buy as I need but as I am now into toy projects I have realised that I will need to keep some colours on hand. I think for me it will be working out what my favourite yarn will be for toys and sticking to that. So I will always have room and colours I need.

I'm both minimalist and planner, but: - I don't plan for the whole year, but for a month. - I do buy yarn I'm not going to immediately use if there's a sale. On rare occasions I buy a skein of yarn I fancy to treat myself. But usually I only buy what I need for my current or next project. I don't have a lot of yarn for these reasons. I do like seeing other knitters' and crocheters' stash, but I find as much joy in finishing the yarn I currently have as in buying new yarn. Also I keep a written inventory where I keeo track of everything.

I'm a planner/eclectic, I go to the store with a project and buy several different yarns/colors with the idea of doing more than one of the same project. I stopped crocheting for the last 6 years and one day I decided to organized my craft bins in the attic, so when I put all the yarns together I had 4 bins. First thing I did was decided to pick my needle back up again and to use up all the yarn before I purchased more but I didn't stick with the plan. I wanted to make a white shawl so I had to buy more yarn, I wanted a wool blend blanket so I bought more yarn. I really have no organization only bins, I put baby yarn in one bin, hat/scarf yarn in another, yarns for blankets in another, i pulled aside all my scrap/yarn that i wasn't going to use for a project and made baskets, cotton I made dish cloths, so I am using the yarn up just adding a few to it.

I started loom knitting when my best friend moved and gave me all of her looms and yarn. I quickly ran out of projects for my family and made baby blankets for everyone I knew was having a baby (including my doctor). Then I started making hats for the homeless in my area, churches, shelters, and other less fortunate people in my area. Then came my obsession, beanies. I made several beanies per day, and my wonderful husband goes to yard sales and estate sales. He bought their whole stash of yarn twice and brought home 10 jumbo trash bags of yarn. I now have a 10 X 10 room for yarn. I have an 18-hole cubbie on my wall that holds some; I have 10 huge storage bags and 5 totes, and I am starting on the huge vacuum bags for storage. I think it's now called an obsession.

I currently separate my yarn by fiber type: wool and wool blends (also alpaca) are together and cotton, linen, and silk are together. After that they are broken into yarn weight: bulky, worsted, sport, fingering, and lace. I think you are right about the personality types though, because I simply don't understand the people who think organize simply by color is a good idea unless you have a small stash or only use a single type of yarn. I rarely buy yarn without a pattern I want to use it for. My problem is that I am not a fast knitter (as a raw beginner) or crocheter, so I forget what I bought it for by the time I get to it. So my next step is to put my written yarn inventory into a digital format where I can also leave notes on what I plan to make with that yarn. It will also make it easy for me to sort my yarn supply many, many different ways.

Hi Elise, love your videos and always find some tidbit that’s useful. I am an eclectic, I think. (There’s a clue right there!) I also change my organization often-like sort by color, by weight, by fiber, etc. I think the “sort by weight” works best for me, especially since I buy yarn then come up with a project, which sends me hunting through my stash to see what I already have that will work together. Also like clear plastic 30-31 gal. Tubs to store it. All I have to do is pick up a tub and turn it around to see what’s in it. Nothing hides. These tubs fit perfectly in my 4 x 4 cubicle wall unit where I can close the doors-otherwise it’s too distracting. LOL! I could start a small yarn store. More will go in a yarn sale this year as I have learned what I really like and the rest can go. (Sorry, this got kind of long!)

I am a planner/collector. I collect yarn and my 4 Billy bookcases hold all my hand dyed which take up a good healthy 90% of my stash. The acrylics are all in totes. I am such a yarn lover I am building a Yarnatopia Studio just for my channel and crafting oasis. My secret is EVERYthing gets logged into Ravelry with photos, everything is weighted and my queue is used for my to make projects and the yarn I plan to use for those projects is linked. All my patterns books, mags etc are logged into my Ravelry for easy searching and my book cases are sorted by weight, color and if they are tied to a project. I am an organizing freak and to be honest when I see something out of place it stresses me. I also track all my projects on Ravelry and its fun to see what one yarn I may have added into my scrappy projects when I have leftovers. I will say I WAS an eclectic but all the acrylic I know I would never use I donated and it was 4 trash bags full that held 33 gallons!! It was so nice letting it go and now the only acrylics I have are ones I know I will use and that are a nice quality.
