    I'm a huge fan of doing this periodically. I actually get anxious if I have too much yarn or too many wips. Giving away yarn to friends brings me so much joy. Last year I posted it on IG and did a fundraiser giving all the proceeds to a charity. I'm going to try and be very thoughtful with my purchases this year and focus on knitting what I have and not being distracted by shinny things :).

      Yeah me too! Idk why but having lots of stuff makes me stressed. I know using it up won't get rid of it, but I've got a million-and-one projects I want to start & finish.

    “I want the sweater yarn!” I love that you are destashing and that makes you happy, I’d have to say that I’m the opposite! Whenever I’m feeling frustrated with what I’m knitting I go into my stash and just pet everything till I get excited again lol

    Such a fun episode! I love your approach to organization. With over 500 skeins myself, I am not just doing a no buy year, but forever until it is gone. I’m picturing my stash as my own personal yarn store. 🙂

    I really like how you stress that you are not telling people to get rid of their stash. It really is a truly personal thing how big someone's stash is. I have a pretty big stash (600+ skeins) but you've inspired me to document what I have and truly get a feel for what I love. I'm already looking at items to pass along.
    I also like how your channel is knitting AND crocheting. So many are exclusively one or the other.

    "I want the sweater yarn" I'm a semi-minimalist and think what your doing is great. Gives you breathing room. I recently did a stash assessment but your method of destashing beats mine. Plan to adopt some of your ideas.

    I could not do it. Nor would it be the thing that brings me joy. I love my large stash. Just looking at all the pretty yarns makes me happy. But good for you for finding what brings you joy.

    I have mostly acrylic and am trying to build my stash of natural fibers (especially superwash). “I want the sweater yarn.”
    This video has inspired me to figure out a way to de-stash the acrylic in 2022. Love your idea of queued projects instead of stashed yarn on Ravelry and can’t wait to see your monthly progress

    Thank you, Natalie! I live your tips. I still have WAY more yarn, but I don’t feel bad about it now. I plan to knit from my stash as much as possible this year and not spend as much money on yarn as I have been the last couple of years.

    I love watching all your yarn organization videos. I like having a little bit of a stash but am trying to be more mindful of what I purchase and let go of the things I’ll probably never use. Your videos are always so inspiring.

    Your plans for your stash are really inspiring and motivating. I really cut back on buying yarn that past few years but have taken to treating my self to small notions. That way my projects maybe with older yarn but the notions are new and make the project exciting.

  • @laulauruns2knit

    “ I want the sweater yarn” please. I’ve been organizing my stash and projects for about a year now. I niw have all of my stash in Ravelry, it makes it so much easier to queue up my projects & plan for the next one. Live what you’re doing. At one time I liked to decorate with my wall of yarn, but not so much anymore. I have evolved to wanting cleaner shelves, less clutter, and selecting what I know I’ll knit with. It’s a learning process!! I enjoy your channel, thank you!!

    I love watching you Natalie! The theme or goal for minimizing and simplifying for 2022 really resonated with me and I love it. I am a retired nurse and current quilter & knitter. I have a huge stash of yarn and fabric. I have moved twice in the past 2 years and downsized each time. I am at the point where getting rid things is very cathartic and feels so much better. So watching this episode was awesome! Thank you. PS. Knitting is winning over quilting these days.

I admire your grace and strength in getting rid of your stash. You will inspire many...maybe not me. I can't part with my stuff as " flippantly" as you. Kidding. I admire you. Thanks for the video. You are always fun to watch.

    Loved the video! It definitely inspired me to look at my knitting “wish list” and I realized I have yarn or partially enough yarn for most of the projects. While I’m not looking to eliminate or purposefully down size my stash, it was good to find projects for the beautiful yarn I already own. ❤️

    I did a stash down in 2019...then 2020 hit and I couldn't get yarn easily and money was tight! In a panic I built it back up to about 30 skeins but that's about as many as I would want at once. It taught me how to appreciate what I have.

    “I want that sweater yarn!” 😊 I have a large stash and last year I started really utilizing my Ravelry queue to allocate yarn to each future project, that way I can keep track of which yarns are already spoken for. I don’t love having random skeins that don’t have a plan. Trying to get more into scrap-busting designs (like the Seaglass Sweater) to help use up the bits and random skeins.

    @chrystlehernandez9502 2 роки тому

    I want the sweater yarn! I don't keep a stash at all because I love the process of shopping for a project just as much as creating it. I usually have 2-3 projects going, one large and one smaller and 2 on deck ready to go, so after one is completed I'm ready to cast on. And I tend to donate leftovers so there's no pressure or guilt to use them up. After 30 years of knit and crochet this is what works for me.

    As a new knitter I want enough of a stash to have 3-5 future projects planned plus a few sock sets etc. Like right now I have 2 main whips going on and I currently have yarn and patterns for 5 projects plus 3 socks. I feel like this is comfortable and not overwhelming. Once I get down to my last 2 projects I will allow myself to buy more yarn.

I’ve been buying yarn for several years so that when I retired I’d have plenty to work with. While I was employed I wasn’t sure what my yarn budget would be. Ha ha. I’m glad I have the stash and a small budget for yarn in case I need a particular color.
