Organizing my Yarn Stash

I’ve need a better way to store my yarn for a while. It’s not that the way I was storing it was bad or anything, I had the balls stored in 2 clear plastic tubs. The problem was that I had them in the corner behind my desk where they were hard to get to and they often became a resting spot for other things, making it even harder to pull anything out of them. To add to that, I always kept my unfinished knitting projects in plastic carrier bags that were piled haphazardly around the yarn containers.

I pulled everything out of the corner, and sorted my yarns into A3 griplock bags in some sort of colour theme, as well a bag of my most loved yarns. I then squeezed all the air out of the bags, so they take up nearly half the space (as you can see in the photo). I’m not using the container anymore, since I figured it was more valuable for other things, instead I’ve piled them on the floor of my wardrobe where I have easy access to them. I’ve also taken all my knitting projects out of their plastic carrier bags and put them into the A3 griplock bags so I can see, at a glance, what is in them. They now live on top of the yarn bags.
