Mountains of Yarn
Author: fishieI just moved from a 5 bedroom house with ample storage to a 2 bedroom apartment with … none. Until the move, my stash was easily hidden in a closet (not joking, that’s where I kept it), and my yarn diet was more of a joke than anything.
Now? It’s serious. In order to prove to myself WHY I don’t need to buy more yarn (and also to organize it better so I can actually put it somewhere), I pulled every ball, skein, hank, and sweater to be recycled out and arranged on my bed.
Somebody, PLEASE tell me why I’m still compelled to buy more yarn.

Me in PJs for size reference
That is a double bed. Also, the pile in the back is not propped up by a pillow. That pile is a pure pile of sweaters, Red Heart, and other nameless thrift store atrocities. There are also 11 cones shoved in there.

It’s hard to tell from the pictures, but most of the yarn is piled. I guess if my skeins were epithelial cells, they’d be pseudostratified.
Now, time to start re-organizing it. If doing that doesn’t convince me I don’t. need. more. yarn., nothing will.
