Back in January of 2012, I opened my etsy shop. My shop inventory didn't not include crochet items. Mostly paper goods. But through browsing etsy shops, I began to take noticed that crochet goods did really well on etsy. So I bought a couple skein of yarn at walmart and from then on... my etsy shop blossom. In the beginning, I was just thrilled with having the budget to buy 2-3 skein of yarn. and then my yarn collection began growing. I wasn't exactly sure of how to stash my yarn. and sometimes I didn't. I found myself shopping for yarn more and more. As my shop grew and so did my yarn collection.
I used the over the door shoe organizer. which works for well for a while. and then I used chest drawer you see below, but then it became inadequate, not enough space.
So now, this is how my stash looks
I bought these milk crate at Walmart sometime back. I bought them for $2.50 each. Now they cost over $5. I was using them for miscellaneous stuff around the house. I decided to put them together and form this shelving unit for my yarn collection. I'm very happy with it. I can clearly see, if I need any particular color or style. I group my yarn based on brand, Red Heart, Impeccable, and Bernat. I used a glass cookie jar for left over yarn and I also included my crochet books.
the plastic bins to the left contains some of my completed project and other crochet goods.
and for more protection, I placed this sari on top of the shelving unit to help keep dust and stuff.
