Organizing Yarn!!

The Yarn Registry...



I have struggled with organizing my yarn for a long time. 
I like to roll the skeins into "balls" because it unwinds better while I'm crocheting or knitting. 
The problem with this is that I then forget what wrapper goes with which "ball of yarn"...so I've been thinking on the best way to organize the yarn...

Last week I did some major reorganizing of my craft area and bedroom. 
The yarn drawer became a yarn "tub"!! (I LOVE buying yarn on sale!!) 
While in the process of cleaning and going through things I found all the yarn wrappers I'd been saving...it was time to do something with all of them!! 

I decided to create a yarn registry! 

So far, it's been really helpful and fun with all the pen colors! 

I like to write what I made with the yarn and where I purchased it, for future reference...dates are fun too!



 When I buy a skein of yarn, I now registry it before using it. 
This gives me the dye lot, store, washing instructions, needle/crochet hook sizes, what I used it for, etc. 
SO HANDY!!! 




Have you been looking for  a way to organize your yarn wrappers?? 
Do you have another suggestion?
