Then around 2004 I remember my love of crocheting and of course my yarn stash starting to accumulate. In 2007 I finally learned how to knit and then my yarn stash really exploded. But all this crocheting and knitting lead to wonder about the construction of yarn so I learned to spin in 2008 resulting in the hording of fibre for spinning and pretty tools to spin with.
I have occasionally purged. First it was the odd ball of arcylic yarn or the weird fabric some handed down to me. But my last move was embarrassing - there had to have been a least dozen bags of fabric and close to equal amounts of yarn (I can't disclose the exact amount as my shame will not allow me). So I purged a 'tonne' of fabric that was once planned to turn into clothes or pillow covers. I attempted to purged some of the arcylic yarn (it still sits in black garbage bags) but realized it could be turned into beautiful public art a some point in time.
My purging goal was to fit all of my crafting stuff into my 'new' crafting room in the basement of my first home. I was not successful - there is some yarn stashed in my living room and storage room. I still managed to stuff a lot in my craft room though!
For my next post I plan to explore just what is in my stash and who or which companies I can thank for my stash.
