How to organize your Yarn & create a Yarn Inventory spreadsheet
I have quite a large yarn stash and my poor TV room cabinets were bursting at the seams! (along with some laundry room shelves, a few bags in my living room, a few stray skeins in my bedroom.... you get the idea!) So I finally took a day (or three) to consolidate everything into one space, sort through, weigh, log, and finally store! I'm sharing my process in case it can help other yarn addicts out there! Now, just because you take a weekend to do this one time, this organization system will still need some maintenance from time to time, if you are like me and always have a dozen projects going! Here's a video I did to show how I was doing a catch-up re-org after a couple months of many, many projects. It's helpful to have a kitchen or postal scale so that you can weigh partial skeins to get an approximate remaining amount. Not necessary but very helpful.. I'm sharing my Excel file here, Yarn Inventory Template , for you to use when logging your yarn. It's on
