Okay.. I spent the last three days updating my Ravelry and reorganizing the yarn, which of course means you must take pics. I still have over 40 skeins coming from various co-ops that I have no clue what I'm going to do with unless I knit my fingers off between now and when they get here. I definitely need on a yarn diet asap! I did pass a yarn shop in Pittsburgh over the weekend and didn't stop, so that should count for something right?
Anyway here it is, all together in a large tv armoire.
Top shelf is sock weight, luxury, superwash
Main Part is all the gaia's, bfl, 3 ply, licorice twist, cestari, mountain meadow
Small section is handspun, fiber and mini skeins
First lower shelf is anything that there were 3+ skeins of
Second lower shelf is Dyed by me, undyed and purewool
Drawer is all scraps bagged by yarn type
If you want to see all the details here is my rav.

Now please share yours so I don't feel like the only one who should be on hoarders, or that weird obsession show.

Wow
Mine isn't the easiest to photograph. About half is on show in Expedit and then some is tucked away in more of Expedit and then there's drawers nearby and a shelf and some baskets. Rav. link is http://www.ravelry.com/people/FeltFusion/stash although the boring stuff isn't there and I do keep finding the odd skeins that aren't there either. _________________ Shadow

Oh my BJ! Although, I think my stash is probably that big, but I can't have mine all in one spot like that. Mine has to be hidden all over the place. First, I'd feel guilty looking at it and thinking about how long I've had some of it, but shamelessly keep adding to it, knowing even with my best intentions I'd probably never be able to knit it in my lifetime. Second, if it's in one spot I'd have to listen to my husband rag on me about my (ahem) hobby.
And Carrie, you crack me up.  _________________ Alicia

OMGeeeeeeeee lol
I just showed hubby this pic and he about fainted!!
I've been destashing because I'm on bin #3 (under the bed bins so they aren't too big) but I have no more room for bins .
Off to figure out where I can fit an armoire for my yarn hehe....thanks for the great idea! _________________ Brittany~nursing student and SAHM to Cole 3/1/03 (autism), Jaden 8/31/04, Cameron 4/8/09, and Skyelar 11/8/11
