They HAD to go ... cones with just a few sad yards left, cones that I "inherited" 20 years ago, ugly 80's brown yarn, wool that was barely holding on with a thread ... yikes!!!

Even after a brutal purging in my new studio, I still have yarn that won't be fun to use .. even as scrap yarn ... why am I keeping this stuff????

Let’s be real: there’s no prize for hoarding the most cones.

I'm keeping what makes me happy. Fun colors, interesting textures AND I'm determined to actually USE it!

Why did I ship this? ??

Maybe it's time for some spring cleaning at your house. I challenge you to donate, toss or USE some of that forgotten stash yarn. Let's make room for the yarn that truly sparks joy!

    I try. My thin wool yarn became wristwarmers for christmas. Now i plan socks for stashbusting. Bought 10 kilo to experiment, when started machineknitting. I still have a lot of it. New yarn buying just for special planned projects. But throwing away cones?I can't. 2 useless cones in the last years, everything else stays.

    This is going to be my stash-busting winter. My destashing will include making as many charity hats, scarves etc...as possible. The scraps too small for a project are either wound for waste yarn or used for stuffing in 'poufs', along with fabric scraps. I've bought suitable dye for colours I don't like. Nervous about that plan as I don't want to dye anyone's hair if they get caught in the rain! But I'm going to get that stash under control!

    I kinda did that last year I got my nine year old granddaughter interested in Mk and she used up a lot of my craft yarn making blankets that we donated to a animal shelter

    I probably have loads that I won't use.. But I might end up using them for scrap yarn lol... Or maybe run 2 or 3 together to see if it works... Who knows... Lol ??
