I have bought some plastic boxes to organize (also good against moths). But I think I have to try the biggest challenge: Stop buying :-))) OMG !<br />Kind regards<br />BirgitBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551909384593624691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960215912402855534.post-87217477348819756272015-05-25T00:06:26.939+02:002015-05-25T00:06:26.939+02:00Your yarn cakes look so colourful and tidy, nice j...Your yarn cakes look so colourful and tidy, nice job! My yarn is in various baskets and boxes which sounds disorganised but there is a system and it works for me. There are some very inspiring pins on that board, I have to say. xGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960215912402855534.post-68513631213708619602015-05-23T14:20:20.164+02:002015-05-23T14:20:20.164+02:00The trick to Ravelry is to enter your yarn details...The trick to Ravelry is to enter your yarn details as it comes into your possession. One of my downfalls is forgetting to update the Ravelry entry when I move the yarn from one storage place to another!

Kathryn Vercillo shared some pictures of my yarn storage on her blog Crochet Concupiscence: http://www.crochetconcupiscence.com/2013/06/jodie-bravely-crochets-through-chronic-fatigue/<br />Everything is tucked away - I like to have it protected from light, dust and insects etc. Thank goodness for Ravelry for keeping track of what I have and where! I have been contemplating a purchase of similar shelves to yours and putting it in the family room as my "crochet corner" - a place to park my books, tools and WIPS. <br />It is always interesting to find out how others organise their stash and to get ideas and try them out. Eventually we find a system that works for us. :-)<br />Good work on your decluttering - now to declutter that cold from your life, heh? ;-) <br />Get well soon.Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960215912402855534.post-48339709448857602002015-05-14T05:33:08.172+02:002015-05-14T05:33:08.172+02:00Now I have stash envy, Anne!

I have yarn squished into a big stack box, in a bag in the loft, and several project bags ready and waiting for me to start in the cupboard under the stairs.

As for yarn storage, I suspect that I have a lot less than you, but I also wind my part balls into yarn cakes, so much easier to keep them as you say and I then have mine in two plastic boxes.
