I took a great class at Stitches this weekend called "Stashology" The teacher gave us some great ideas on how to use stash yarns and made me really appreciate my many random balls of yarn. Instead of storing them in a book, I thought it might be nice to display them out in the open so I can be thinking of new combos when I look at them.
Do you have ways of displaying your stash you like?
Thanks for any and all ideas!

Re: Ideas on storing/displaying yarn stash
Sun, March 4, 2007 - 2:19 PMyou can use them to decorate just like paint, thinking only about colors and textures:
In a vase or a metal bucket like flowers, in a bowl like fruits
pink orange and red create a rainbow, brown green and blue for a landscape, and creating a color wheel is very inspiring for new project.
you can make a room divider, a curtain out of long scrap yarn hanging, braid several yarn together and hang a plant, or create napkin ring, use it to tie up a gift, or even make jewelry. -

Re: Ideas on storing/displaying yarn stash
Mon, March 5, 2007 - 2:36 PMI can just see it. If I stored small balls of yarn in an open bowl (an idea I adore) my younger cat would be up on the table, picking up a ball and carrying it off! He was doing that with scrap yarn that hadn't gotten put away. It was when he raised up to look in the basket of odd yarn which was sitting too close to the floor.. "Hmmmm what kind of toys are there here?" -

I keep mine rolled into balls in a basket on the hearth. I need to give some of it to my friend who's an art teacher. -
