My wife loves to love and be loved❤ Our home is full of plants, books, pictures of our wonderful children and memories... and yes 🎉Yarn🎉. I hit the jackpot with this girl❤😂❤❤❤❤❤😂 you got this babe, next year we may have to rent the adjacent office on our journey to "Yarn over the World!!" We love you babe❤❤❤❤❤

I love yarn. I love going to thrift stores and finding good deals on yarn. Crochet is therapy. Watching you organize while I crochet is like sitting with a "crochet therapist ". Consider yourself a "crochet therapist " not a hoarder. You and I could have worse addictions and we aren't hurting anyone. It's all good.

Looking at this much yarn causes me anxiety, it's so overwhelming. When I feel like that with my stash, I go thru and if I don't love it AND have a plan, I donate it to the senior center , the library crochet group or some teen crocheters at church. It's a win win.

Envy overload. You ladies must be rich . Those of us on a budget save to buy just 4 skeins. I don’t want to be jealous but I am soooo jealous.

I love yarn. I used to feel guilty about buying yarn. Not anymore, I buy yarn because I like the way it looks, smells, and feels. If I work hard and this is my one addiction I deserve to spend my money on what I like. I don’t spend beyond my needs and I buy 1-3 skeins,if there’s no room, I make room before I buy more, I also don’t invade someone else’s space. Just a few rules for myself. I’m happy with my system.

Two years ago, I moved from six rooms and two bathrooms to three rooms one bath. I had probably 90% less yarn than you but still moved eight extra large space bags of yarn. I have eliminated all but four bins (one is mainly supplies). I am stumped with what to do with what I have left which is approximately ten balls!😊

I watch all the crochet channels and drool over all the yarn behind y'all.

Well, I really do hope that this project is making you feel better about your yarn. I moved from my three bedroom house into a very small one bedroom apartment, so I really don’t have room for a very big stash. Having said that, I have to admit That while my stash is tiny, compared to yours, it is in dire need of organizing. I just keep putting it off. Because I am legally blind, and no longer drive I get most of my arm. I have doing this that I enjoy getting those boxes from Amazon, and other places filled with beautiful yarn. On the other hand, I can see that the space I have reserved for yarn filling up and an alarming rate. Not only that, but I have more whips and I am comfortable with. I actually bought a small Rey cart just to put the current whips in, so I would see them and hopefully work on them. I am almost 81 years old, and live independently, and mostly charity crocheting. I enjoy crocheting, or knitting, blankets, and for local charities. As my vision gets worse, almost daily, I find that I am working more with lighter color yarn than the darker ones, and it is frustrating sometimes to have trouble doing something that I have done thousands of times , a little harder than it used to be. Fortunately, muscle memory comes to the rescue, and that is a big help. Good luck to you in this huge project. You have set up fun. It won’t be long until your yarn is all organized, and that every it has found a home.❤

Hi Ginger, I, too, am a yarn lover who buys or collects a lot of yarn. I not an organized person. So, I am so overwhelmed by my yarn stash. I try but often fail at not buying yarn. Because I love the possibilities of what it can become. Pray for me, Ginger. I love your organized yarn room.

I started a shawl while watching you organize. Love your thoughts on Yarn collecting and really enjoyed the process.

Ginger your yarn is looking good. You are doing a great job.

I am one of those people who LOVE organizing things. I so wish I could help!

I too am a collector of yarn, and happen to have a few open cubbie holes on my wall if anyone is feeling to overwhelmed..lol I love when Joann's and Hobby Lobby have sales, but Hobby Lobbys clearance sales ??? I did great this yr and only bought 4 skeins of yarn, but in all honesty, it was only because I missed the sale and that was all that was left. My yarn only gets disorganized when I grab an assortment trying to find which yarn I want to use for a certain project, this usually goes on til the basket I discard them in is full only then do I put them away.

Consider one person helped! I will organize and "shop" from my collection. I love how you said 'slow down on the collecting of things and focus on the things I've been collecting.' Thank you for the reminder and helping me bring joy back to my collection❤

I am your one person! I'm also a lover of yarn, and mostly collect fingering weight sock yarn. My favorite things to make are socks and scrappy blankets. I am going to take your advice and work through my stash rather than purchase more. We will see. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together!

Oh my goodness. It looks like yarn heaven. ❤

I get it. It's hard. I have too much yarn as well. I see a video of something I like and get the yarn to make it. I just work a lot and don't have time to make it. It's like I'm buying it for "someday." I also like to organize. I say I shouldn't buy anymore yarn and then I find a good sale or something new comes out. I realize some of my favorite yarn is going to be discontinued so I buy more. I keep it organized, but I don't have room for much else. I'm just not going to Joann's or Hobby Lobby anymore. I can't. I just have to spend my time actually crocheting.

Have you ever thought about barcoding the yarn and your shelves? That is how a library keep track of all those books, and what you have is basically a library of yarn.

Bless you Ginger! I started collecting yarn, but the more I had, I didn’t want to crochet, so now I’m getting my wips done and not buying any more yarns until I finish what I have and yes I only buy the yarn I need to finish my projects. And now I’m finding some yarns I can’t find to finish my projects. It makes me sad, so I tend to make a lot of scrap blankets or little things or scrappy granny squares. I do enjoy crocheting now and not stressing about the yarn. But I do say, I love your yarn collection! You go girl, you make so many beautiful things, enjoy! I’m calling you a collector of fine arts, not a hoarder! Love ya, Ginger! ❤🤗 you will do it, I’m getting there! Just wish I could crochet faster. Take care and enjoy!

I love all the yarn you have. I was drooling the whole time seeing all the yarn you have. Yarn and crocheting is therapy for me.

Wow - you made a lot of progress! Congrats. 😊

That flop you did into the yarn at 9:50 looked so satisfying. And I thought my stash was getting out of hand, holy cow you have a lot of yarn. (I am sooooo jealous)

Love you falling in the yarn Hilarious!

And everyone thought I had a LOT of yarn until I showed them a picture of your room!! Yarn is pretty; it's like you're an artist thinking of pictures you can paint! I love to do adult coloring, therefore I have hundreds of markers!! Same with embroidery. I could embroider around the world!! lol Six months ago I pulled myself up short and said, That's It!! Use what you have...I've given away lots, made lots of things for people (selling them too!). I'd love to see all the things you can do with what you have!! You'd never have to buy another skein of yarn!! You are to be commended on your attitude and progress.

I applaud that you’re working at getting it all neat. While I know you’re a pattern tester. If you were able to channel your projects into items you can sell or donate I think it would give your stash a wonderful multi purpose of giving you joy, helping others and eventually as it gets used it won’t be just piled, stacked and decaying. I think each skein deserves to be something special ❤ thank you for trying

Fantastic progress of your yarn!

Hey Ginger! So much work!!! I have been doing this over the last two years as well. I think I am getting somewhere and really I am not. I feel the same about my stash as you do about yours, LOVE everything I have ever bought and have plans. Now, I must start using what I love. I have been thinking that a lot lately, that I really just want to do these projects I have been planning. The only thing stopping me is ME. Thanks for this video, and all the others, you do help others all the time. Take care and forge on!!

I totally relate to the feelings and motivations behind collecting. I am also a big collector of things (especially yarn). I love making things for my niece and nephew, they are definitely the biggest help in working through my stash. If you have any grandkids who are the right age, I found a project that REALLY helped me was making play food sets! They are good because they use up so many different colours, but also don't feel overwhelming to tackle.

Love the small room. Love the way the FOs are stored. One thing at a time. Great big change from last video.

Thanks for sharing. I still need to organize my yarn better and my clothes as well. 😊

I have a plan also. I have a plan to only buy yarn for a project that I will be making right then. Yarn is expensive and storage is limited. I can't afford to stock yarn for "maybe someday". It has to be a definite project that I will be working on for a specific reason before I buy anything. For you, I think your hoard should be downsized by donation or by allowing your yarn craft friends to go shopping in your stash.

You might want to look into monotropism and the beautiful pros and cons of monotropic interests?

Some of my yarn I have, I bought when pregnant with my youngest child. That was 46 years ago😮 I keep them in clear plastic storage bags on shelves. I have thinned them out some? I will not be able to use it all before I die. None of my 3 daughters sew or do yarn work. So, I better get busy😅

I love your home yarn store 😂😂😂😂I suggest thinking of it as a store rather than a hoard 🤣🤣 I regret every time I start pulling it all out to organize. I get it all out and then I turn around and see the pile and think...omg what have i done 🤣🤣🤣

Gurl I barely have yarn I only have like 20skiens u are literally living me dream 🩷🩷 u are so amazing!!

I think that in all the people who crochet on KZfaq that I saw, your definitely the person who has the most yarn

my hubby can never complain about how much yarn I have after seeing this much yarn wow!!!! I am the type of person that never has WIPS I can't start a new project until I finish what I have on the go first lol Great job on the organization!!

Hi Ginger, you have made a lot of progress. Just getting you and Me Geek moved from one residence to another plus your yarn to the studio is a major accomplishment. I love watching your videos. Not a hoarder, yarn is your business partner. Your Mom’s shelves are so Cool! 🧶🫂

Awww, those kitties are adorable. They look at all those "boxes" shelves like we look at yarn. They look so happy. Of course I think kitties love yarn like we do too.

The kitty's are probably thinking...so many shelves to choose from!!!😂❤😂❤😊

Great job Ginger! I wouldn’t have believed that there were enough places to put the yarn in your office. You are good at organizing.

I feel like I can tell you this.. The first time I came across your channel you were moving. You were moving because if losing everything. And as you continued to shop and look at more yarn I felt so sad for you. I was truely depressed over your situation for two days. You were on my mind for two days. I thought I wouldn't be able to watch your channel again. But, I am here to give it another try and will be hwre as you organize and make progress ❤

the way you have worded the part about collections and comparing them to plants and photo albums has really helped me visualise why i find mine overwhelming! thank you for bringing me back to the present moment with this video, i really needed it. much love!

That is a LOT of yarn!!! And WIPs. I thought I was over the top. There is a lot of pretty stuff in your stash. One thing I do is if I teach someone how to knit, I give them a skein of yarn - their choice with some guidance. (not a fan of Homespun and will steer a newbie away from anything with all those nubbs on it) I understand the intentions, too. I'm trying to finish up some WIPs so I can have more empty needles to start new projects. Those pretty boxes are great for hiding a lot of messy stuff. I use one for my knitting needles. I know where they are (mostly).

You inspire me. I need to dump my trashbags full of yarn to organize, also. But... Ive no place to dump them! I look in your yarn room and see... a cave full of TREASURES!! What a dreamy room! I screamed with laughter when you dived in! 😅😂

Loving the yarn studio Ginger! And how exciting for your Mom to have those built-ins! I love yarn 🧶💜

I can totally picture it Ginger!! Your yarn room is going to be GREAT!!!☺️🧶

Holy Moly, Wow...That is a lot of yarn...LOL I wish I had A room with all that yarn. I only have A small wall behind my chair. From good wills and yard sales and given to me.... Have fun..

Ginger it’s looking great! It’s really fun to see it all come together in organized yarn clutter. 😊 I have a whole room full as well. It makes me happy just looking at it with all the texture and color. And I know how you feel about selling it. But your new place reminds me so much of a cute little boutique with a fresh cup of coffee and an open door. People could come and enjoy your beautiful personality and you could sell your yarn so you can get all the new stuff coming in. it’s such a bright pretty area that I can just see a couple of chairs and some lessons and just visiting. Keep going you’re doing great

I really enjoyed this video. I very much enjoy watching you organize. I’d love to see you set challenges for yourself to use some of your epic yarn stash! You need more elbow room in there! I’d love for you to engage with your community in that way. Make it a community challenge like “how many skeins of yarn can we use in a month?” Set a goal for yourself and also for the community! Can we collectively use 1000 skeins? 10,000? How many WIPs can I finish in a month? I need that as a community challenge. I have too many that now I’m overwhelmed just looking at them!

Your room looks like a yarn store. It's beautiful I wish I had a room like this

What a great job. Love all your yarn.

God bless you. You're doing great with organizing your yarn. I congratulate you for search within you to see why you collect so much of the things you love. It takes courage and self love to look inside and recognize it After hearing that you mom have much more than you, you don't think maybe you're following that example? Is not a bad example because the two of you keep it organized for what i see (your mom new room is my dream room btw😂) Something that I do when something is getting to be too much I getvrid of it. Out of sight, out of mind. The wips. Take one at the time and finish it. Dont matter what else you're doing. Im pretty sure youll be finish with those in no time. Also, don't start another project until you're done with whatever you have on your hook. Maybe two projects at the time, no more than that. You're awesome, dont ever forget that. God bless you❤

I absolutely love your yarn studio! I have a lot of yarn, I actually thrift a lot, but it's no where near what you have. I may have yarn envy.

I love everything yarn, your video was very entertaining.

Why is this so me! I started with fabrics, vinyl and now yarns 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹Your yarn room is my next goal 😁😁😁😁😁😁

You are making progress.

Omg you so need to make a short video of you collapsing in to the yarn & laying there until your arm reaches up lol ... I was listening to you talk about taking photos, collecting plants, etc I have been exactly the same! I have thought it was because I don't have kids & was trying to fill that void as everything I collect requires looking after mostly! But yes, I have felt like I'm drowning in some things as I've not organised it ... And yes, I love organising & I love looking at what I deem are pretty things - yarn! You are really helping me with going through your thought process, etc ❤ Susannah

i love watching your yarn room progress! Would love a big yarn room one day, its a personal private yarn store i love your mom's yarn shelves!!!! cant wait to see her yarn room!!!

Thank you very much for your video. I also struggle with the yarn I have. It's about 1/3 of what you have, but my struggle is will I ever use it. Watching your video makes me feel much better about my stash. I am slowly going from how you have organized and organize them into the next project with pattern, hook, etc. I use any bag that I can get my hands on so that all I have to do is grab and start the pattern.

Seams like i have found a person with same interest and yarnie problems like me, so your wideo help me a bit.

Moms yarn shelves are AMAZING!

Thank You for the inspiration! I have a plant and yarn collection that needs some love and organizing! A wonderful Summer project!

Ugh, I’m switching two rooms upstairs. Moving my yarn/craft room to the larger of the two. It’s taking forever, lol. You inspire me to get my butt in gear. 😊 Your Moms shelves are amazing! Goals! 😍

You're doing great. I really know your struggle. Thx for sharing. It's helping me

I only discovered your channel tonight, and this is the third video I've watched.....I love your mindset!!! Listening to you and those little gems that come out of your mouth has been so therapeutic. Ty Love and hugs 🫂 from Australia xx

I love love yarn. For a moment, I thought I was looking at my yarn rooms. It's a little messy, but we know where everything is. I am looking forward to seeing mom's stash 😊

What makes you happy, continue doing it. You look happy to me organizing your yarn. 😊

You arè doing so well! Keep up the good work, you're almost done! Your mom is mean to get new shelves while you are in the middle of your new move!😉

WOW! I appreciate you sharing your "organizing" journey with us. Mission 1 accomplished! So happy for you!

Your yarn is beautiful! Your openness and honesty are admirable!

Ngl...all of that yarn gave me anxiety. I thought I had a fabric problem, until I saw this video. 😂 I have stopped buying fabric a long time ago, and now sew for (some) people, just to get rid of the fabric. Good luck with all of that yarn. Looks like you have the drive to get it all up on the shelves, and stored, so good for you! I agree with the poster who stated this is a "yarn library", and getting it coded would make your life a lot easier when looking for the "perfect" yarn for the next project. Looks like you're almost there and done organizing!

Great job!!

your craft room looks like a yarn store. I also have problems buying yarns and unfinished projects. it is a yarn heaven.

You are doing a good job! Yes I think you do enjoy the organizing as much as collecting. Keep going!

Are you my twin?!? I love yarn, see potential projects in every skein I have, and totally relate to your yarn stash.

I too like yarn. I ran out of space in the house for it so I am working on saving what I really love and conceivably use. Mostly, I am crocheting bulky and super bulky yarn into blankets for Project Linus. So I cleared out three kitchen garbage bags of worsted for my cousin who just started to crochet. She isn't working so she will appreciate some free yarn.

I am amazed at the progress you made in just this one video! I am very proud of you! I honestly didn’t expect you to get so far! So…job well done, keep up the great videos!

Put all the Anniversary Cakes in the little room and you will have room for the rest of the Caron yarn. Just a suggestion ❤

You are INCREDIBLE! The amount of progress you made was amazing. 🤗 excellent job! Thanks for this awe-inspiring video.

Get a knitting machine? I used up some older stuff that way. You can get ones for socks or hats.

Hi Ginger! You are doing a great job! Your journey really resonates with me! Can’t wait to see where it takes you! Thank you for posting all you do! (Looking forward to Mama Kitty’s yarn remodel too! 🥰🥰

Great job I’m impressed. ❤

I loved this very thoughtful video! I hope the stress of your collections Is slowly becoming enjoyable to you again! You're a wonderful bighearted woman who I enjoy having In my social media life, and I'm happy to see you smiling again! 💙

I’ll be moving hopefully and getting a manufactured home that is going to have a Den of my own!! I can’t wait to have my own crafting place!!

My daughter is my guru. Her best advice: “Just because I like something, it doesn’t mean I want or need it.” You may be trying to fill a hole in your life. I have tons of scrapbooking things hogging up what would be my yarn/crochet room. I acquired all that when my youngest left for college in 2013. It’s 11 years later & now I have more yarn & scrapbook supplies. I wish I was determined like you. It’ll be here until I cram it in a box & give most of it (scrapbook/planner supplies) I’m not motivated. I’m sure if I had an Adderal pill I could get it together. 😮😅🤣

You are doing a great job. Keep going and I can’t wait to see it finished

I LOVE looking at your yarn Ginger!! ❤ I too have many MANY collections of things but they bring me joy as well! I understand why you have so much yarn💛 🧶 you got this!

You’ve done an awesome job in your yarn studio. Looking forward to seeing your mom’s yarn.

That was awesome. Can't wait to see what you do next! Your mom too!

Wow, you've done well!!!! ✔️ 🎉🎉

Thank you for helping me feel normal. I’m such a yarn hoarder with no desire to recover. Yarn and more yarn makes me happy. And creating from my personal hoard is uplifting. Invigorating. Only a fellow yarn hoarder/collector may understand. You are definitely my friend in my head. Please tell me about those huge crochet bags with yarn inside. I’ve made smaller ones but none that size - which is a good idea.

Good God that's a lot of yarn!! Just looking at it gives me so much anxiety! It's called an addiction buying all this yarn etc. etc. Good Luck Ginger you're such a sweet person!!

Great job!!! Wow!! Cute kitty’s.

This is a tremendous amount of wealth.

Jmo & I’m nobody in particular…lol, but I think if you’re asking if you’re a hoarder, that would lend to “no.” You’re attempting to organize it as you can. You know it’s giving you anxious feelings not having it wrangled. You may have gotten overwhelmed with the organizational piece. You’ve raised 7 kids and you WANT to get a handle on it. You’re a queen! From outside the door it may look like a hot mess express. But, attempts are being made. That’s always a good thing. Effort matters. Recognition matters. You’re making decisions. I say kudos. 🎉🎉🎉

I love seeing your yarn coming all together!

I also love organizing. And colors. And yarn. Before I got into crochet, I was obsessed with puzzles and Karen puzzles. She would do these color/gradient puzzles, and sort out all the pieces and I loved doing that too. I was very happy when I discovered crochet because it has many components that I love. Especially the potential to create anything you can think of. I am enjoying your journey with your yarn. And thank you for sharing your mindset along the way. I also find that my hobbies line up with scenarios in my life and it teaches me my next lessons. Everyone, make sure to follow your inner joy and passions! ❤🎉

Daughter like mom! I get it! You enjoy yarn! I love the colors. I can see the projects you are compiling in your mind. Simple truth you are very creative. Organizing is a task. I put small groups of things in organized matter, then it doesn’t seem overwhelming. I would put a curtain on the side of the desk as you come into the second room. Whips? Not sure what they are but you could frame your work. Show off your work in another room? Maybe. Love what you’ve done.

I wish I could come over and help you organize it, it looks fun, the only not fun part is when it seems it will never end 😅
