It's wonderful to have a supportive husband.... you are doing a great job. I have a yarn room myself and in other rooms too. I get overwhelmed when organizing. I have to walk away.. thank you for sharing...😊
She has been yarn shopping how many times since she went to this building. I feel bad for her husband. Not having money. Did you see the look on his face when he looked at this. I think he thought too this is way too much. Help your family and start getting rid of this. Pattern testing is not going to get rid of this. Challenge yourself to see how much yarn you can use up and see how many things you can sell or donate
this is awesome! I’d love a part two when it’s finished and a walk through showing ur full stash where you tell us your favorites and plans for what you have :)
You said, It’s clear I need more storage! My first thought was, It’s clear you need less yarn! I’ll finish this thought when I get back from the yarn store. I have some catching up to do😂
I love how you do all the long video view of each wall of yarn because I can see all kinds of yarn I have and love and yarn I may want to get when I see on your shelves. Beautiful yarn! Makes me happy to see it.
I freakin loved this video! Your passion for yarn and powering through it is adorable and admirable. My yarn is all tucked away in over 100 totes and if I ever have to move it organize it, it’s gonna be chaos!
Gf, you make me tired! I admire your organization and energy to get on it! I’m so lazy and my yarn addiction has gotten overwhelming to the point that I’m just ready for it to go to other loving homes! Ha ha! Big, squishy hugs 🥰!
Hi Granny Dee!!! 😄 Can you tell I’m a bit overwhelmed too? 🤣😳🤣 And on top of this, Mama Kitty is destashing and has already filled my car once. There’s more to come! 🥴😳🤯🤣🤣🤣 Omg!! Big Squishy hugging you right back!! 🥰🥰🥰
I reorganized my craft room back in January. I was ruthless with myself, meaning I asked myself am I going to use this yarn? I got rid of bag like those you are using, of some really thick and really thin yarn that I haven’t used in YEARS! I started selling my crochet items at 2 farmers markets and I really needed to get organized. It felt good to do this. Then I realized last week that I was lacking browns and the like for making cows(they seem to be a hot seller😂). So what did I do? Went to JoAnn’s and got some great sales and clearance yarn. So glad I organized because I had baskets and shelf space for all of it❤. I am loving watching you settling up your new space!
Your blessed to have a very supportive husband.. if I had so many yarns that you have. I would be in depression.. and every day every minute, I would get a lecture from my mum and brother. I have only one closet with yarns.cant afford to buy more than that. Best of luck
I am overwhelmed for you. Wish I was closer cause I’m big on organizing and would certainly help. Praying you keep that positive attitude you show us and “get ur done”!
I would gladly take some hobbit yarn as a prize. Honestly I would have fun helping with this too! Watching this definitely makes me feel like I have like barely any yarn 🤣
I know it's hard not to get overwhelmed when you're looking at it all in one giant mass! Do what you have to do to get through it by the section. I had to go through mine by the storage bag, because the few times I dumped them out for Flash your Stash, I got that way and then I had to put them all back away. So not doing Flash your Stash again. I'm going to live vicariously through others on that. I love seeing other people's stashes and how they have organized them.
Thank you for this video as I need to organize my office as I just retired from my dance business now I’m ready to get my yard organized and my sewing machine.
Love all the colors and styles of yarn or thread🥰! Just like another sub said, ‘Yarn heaven’❤! I was seeing 👀yarns that were perfect for a blanket, some for fluffy scarves 🧣! I totally understand having to see it all to figure out where it goes😊! My room is always a work in progress with a lot to do😁! Love watching how much progress you and your husband have made😊! Great work Ginger 👍🏻💕!
Ginger you are doing something amazing. I have been trying to organize my yarn stash for a while and I do not know where to start. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Looking awesome, I'm going to switch my rooms around also, what is now my bed room is going to be my craft/yarn room and I'm making the smaller room my bedroom, I'm so excited about it
My husband supports my yarn stashing at this point, but living in a motorhome with very little space for me is becoming an anxiety issue 😂 love all the yarn 🧶
Wow a huge stash! Funny ..the yarn I am looking for and cant find to finish a blanket is right there in your photo...bernat forever fleece finer white cloud...let me know if you decide to sell 2 of them . I am in😊
Yikes, a candle makes me nervous in there. What about plugins or a wax melter? Or just put up a sign on the door to check everything before you leave. Hopefully you don't have early 'senior moments' like I do lol. Love your videos!
I use dollies with wheels to pile tubs in front of other tubs. The wheels mean you can just move them from one place to another and have access to everything.
Hi my love!!! Don't worry. Just keep telling yourself that you got this. It is looking great. Like the title says, it's a marathon, so you have to pace yourself. Go Ginger!!! Yay!!! 😘🤗❤️
I love yarn and have been on a yarn diet for almost a year it’s hard you take your time I found when my yarn was making me unhappy and totally stressed It was easier to control my buying You might consider selling some of it I also listen to a utuber called Clutterbug it has helped me so much Take care of yourself stay healthy and strong
Hi Veronica! 😄 It is getting there! I actually have a lot more done, but I’m behind on getting videos out - because I have so many pattern tests going. 🤪 I seriously need to work on balance. 😂
So much beautiful yarn. I hope you have insurance for contents of your "office" space. I'm not an insurance person, I just think people should have insurance for expensive collections, contents, things that are worth a lot and irreplaceable. That amount is yarn is definitely worth a lot. I'm always sad when I see something like this get lost and was uninsured in a disaster of any kind. Usually doesn't cost much for insurance. Just a thought. I just look at all of that and think how much time and effort and love and expense went into it. I lost some very loved irreplaceable antique books in a water heater failure and Im still so sad at losing them. Insurance did cover them, which made the loss a little less painful. Some collections are not covered with standard insurance, you need to have your agent get just the right kind to cover it. People at home with large collections should also consider it. Individual skeins aren't worth a lot, but if you start adding up this amount of yarn it's a huge expense. Adding coverage on to your home owners or renters insurance should be cheap and well worth it. Be sure to get REPLACEMENT cost insurance, not "value, " because they will value it much much lower. You will need to have pictures or receipts to prove the value after loss, but as Ginger has here, videos of it all show what yarns it is so is a document thing the insurance will accept. Just be sure your picture proof or video proof of your collection is stored in more than one place. Like if it's all on your phone and your phone is lost, no proof. Store on the cloud or other digital safe place. I don't know if you would need to insure for moth damage but it might be an issue as well. Insurance can be very veery specific what is and isn't covered in a policy. My dad was a lawyer so I learned a ton about the insurance cases he worked on. Being very specific in coverage was very helpful in a couple insurance claims we have had to do over the decades.
omg i just know that much yarn would overwhelm me but you seem to be great at handling the chaos. lmk if you wanna write me in your will... it would be much appreciated lol.
I was thinking the very same thing. I even thought about showing my husband and say now I need to get more yarn because I’m not anywhere close to that hoard! Actually I couldn’t have that much because it would drive me crazy. That’s a bit too much for me.
God bless you and give you the strength every day ☺️ I love yarn. The first video you made when packing I was sweating cold sweat😂 it's all beautiful yarn tho. Have you considered selling or donating some of it?
Just a suggestion, might want to rethink having a burning candle in there with all that fiber. My sister-in-law forgot a burning candle which then found something to catch and burned her house down just before Christmas one year. Their two cats perished in the fire too. 😢 So Im pretty nervous of candles. Im a worrier but with reasons and experience behind it. 😢 There are some great scented things that are safer and also better for your lungs than candles. I worry about lungs because I am losing my lungs to autoimmune disease and am on high oxygen all the time, and burning candles make it hard for me to breathe. (Also huge fire hazard with oxygen) Most people wouldn't notice the difference just from a candle, but it really affects me so it definitely can bother the lungs, just isn't noticed in healthy lungs. Being on oxygen all the time makes it pretty funny sometimes getting my yarn tangled in my tubing. And mixing up the tubing with the long cables on my circular knitting needles. Lol. This is fascinating watching you go through this whole process. You are doing a fantastic job. Your logic on all of it is what I would do. You have beautiful wonderful yarn and I can see how you would love love love it! Very inspiring for creativity.
I am absolutely shocked at how much yarn you have😮!!! Hubby is right: it’s “yarn gate!!!” I would definitely say you are a yarn hoarder.
I love seeing such a supportable husband. You have a real gem Ginger.
Watching this makes me feel overwhelmed. Wow. You did a great job. Make sure to secure them to the wall.
Finally someone doing a stash organization who has more yarn than I do!

At the end I thought you would be laying in that pile of yarn. Lol. You're doing an amazing job organizing it all!! It looks fantastic! Go Ginger!
I would love to buy a mystery bag of yarn!!! I am loving your organization but I like the rainbow that use to have.
I wish my hoard looked like that. Lol. As I work on cleaning out my hoard... I bought a lot on clearance, and now I have certain brands I like now.
Love all the colors and styles of yarn or thread🥰! Just like another sub said, ‘Yarn heaven’❤! I was seeing 👀yarns that were perfect for a blanket, some for fluffy scarves 🧣!

I love your yarn hoard and watching you set it all up. I just want to come help sort lol. Thanks for sharing this process 😊
OMG that multi-colored blanket with the black kitties on it please can you show that!

Thanks for sharing your yarny fun and insanity with us. You got this! ❤
My husband supports my yarn stashing at this point, but living in a motorhome with very little space for me is becoming an anxiety issue 😂 love all the yarn 🧶
I know what you mean. No matter how big the space, it’s never big enough! 🤣😭🤣😭
Thank God for Casey and his truck...😁
I adore you so much, I hope one day to have the confidence to have an open flame in a room of yarn 🤣
How beautiful ❣ Your yarn studio is looking very nice 💜 laying in a pile of yarn , that would be wonderful 😍
Wow a huge stash! Funny ..the yarn I am looking for and cant find to finish a blanket is right there in your photo...bernat forever fleece finer white cloud...let me know if you decide to sell 2 of them . I am in😊

Yay!! I have truly found my people with this channel. Yay for Yarnies!! 😄🎉🥳
I love your room
I think having that much yarn would be overwhelming.
I will have to be born again maybe three times to be able to use part of your beautiful stash.
Good luck!!
Bags full of babies. 😂 love it!
Thank you!!! This was fun!! You can do it!!!
Hi Ginger, you and Mr Yarn Geek are doing a great job getting your studio together. 🧶🫂
Beautiful❤
i love yout yarn which i had a place like that
Yikes, a candle makes me nervous in there. What about plugins or a wax melter? Or just put up a sign on the door to check everything before you leave. Hopefully you don't have early 'senior moments' like I do lol. Love your videos!
I use dollies with wheels to pile tubs in front of other tubs. The wheels mean you can just move them from one place to another and have access to everything.
That’s a great idea, Kathy!! 😃 I love it that you have lots of yarn!! 😄
I would love a time lapse video with a voice over ❤ just looking at all that yarn in bags and no sorting being done was giving me anxiety 😬 😂
Where did you get all your nice yarn. it so colorful and beautiful?
It's yarn heaven :)
Hi my love!!! Don't worry. Just keep telling yourself that you got this. It is looking great. Like the title says, it's a marathon, so you have to pace yourself. Go Ginger!!! Yay!!! 😘🤗❤️
Hi Theresa! 😄 Thank you so much!! It is getting there slowly, but it’s getting there! 🥰🌸🥰🌸🥰
Another thought maybe you can destash buy putting kits together and selling them as 1 of a kind
Take care ❤
Wow 😮that is a lot of yarn 🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶
I love yarn and have been on a yarn diet for almost a year it’s hard you take your time
I found when my yarn was making me unhappy and totally stressed
It was easier to control my buying
You might consider selling some of it I also listen to a utuber called
Clutterbug it has helped me so much
Take care of yourself stay healthy and strong
Yes Ginger I love my yarn
Don't be mad at me, I say this in love and giggles... you young lady and your yarn would make a very interesting segment on the TV SHOW HORDERS. ❤
It’s getting there, one day at a time😊

What about a second row of shelves with wheels on them in front of the attached shelves?
That’s a great idea! 🤔 I do have a few of those project cart from Michael’s that might work! Thanks Gabrielle! 😄
@@theYarnGeek like in an old library😀

Thank you so much you gave me hope for dealing with my own horde of yarn. I believe I can do it!
Yes!! That makes me so happy!! If I can do it, you can do it too! 😄🌸
I think those shelves are Wonkey ...lol😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 No they aren’t! They are perfect!! 🥰🥰🥰
Do you sell your creations?

You need some help
