A Peek into my Yarn Stash

Hello again! Today we’ll be looking at my yarn stash, as well as a recent purchase with which I’m hoping to improve my skills. 🙂

This photo is a little messy, but you can only make yarn look so tidy. 😉 The yarn on the left is acrylic, the yarn on the right is cotton, and the purple one all alone on the bottom is wool. I haven’t found anything to do with that one skien yet. 😉

I’ve mostly been accumulating this yarn over the last year and a half or so. Ever since I started making Amigurumi animals, really. I’ll link to some of those animals here, here, and here. I’ve decided that I need to start working through some of this yarn, instead of buying new colors. That limits what I can make, but I’m running out of space to store yarn, so I guess that settles it. 🙂

A couple of my nieces and nephews birthdays are coming up, however, so I should be able to use up some of this yarn. I have a few ideas of what I want to make for them. Maybe that’ll be a post in the future? 😉

Oh, and another thing I use to make the Amigurumi animals are these safety eyes. So far, they haven’t come out of any the animals I’ve made. I bought them off of Amazon. I figured that since I was making so many animals, I would need my own store of safety eyes sooner or later. 😉

These are some of the yarns I use for baby blankets. They’re 100% cotton, which I think is important since the finished products will be used for babies. The full skein on top is for a blanket that needs to be made before my newest niece or nephew is born. 🙂 I’m thinking for that blanket that I’ll use more of an intricate design, since it’s a solid colored yarn.

Now for learning more about that skill? I bought this set a couple of days ago. I’m looking forward to learning more about knitting. So far, most of my experience is with crocheting. 🙂

Well, I hope you enjoyed this look into my yarn stash. Do you knit or crochet? Or neither? 😉 ~ Emily
