I make all my yarn into cakes and organize them by color /simularities on my rolling craft cart! I have a 4 tier cart. Ive also seen the wall organizers that have pegs so you can hang the cakes on there! I love that idea too but I didnt have wall space :slight_smile:

I usually put them in cubbies and sort by material and color.

Some are caked and some aren’t based on yarn type
I just bought over $100 worth of yarn (got it on sale for $62 though!!) and I have nowhere to put it lol so I gotta figure that out

It is a big project in itself. :heart: I just worked on one small skein this morning. Do a “LIVE” and we can join you while doing ours. Hahaha Really though, maybe if you just do a little at a time. Divide and conquer.

Is that how it works? Youtube? I haven’t checked into it myself. Just kinda being silly. Good luck with your mess. Maybe if you post a before, during, and after picture it would be fun.

Id recommend caking and stacking in an area! I don’t have a cake making thingy, so i do it by hand. It helps organize them by color since you can fit more:)

You can organize by

Brand
Color
Fiber Type
Weight of yarn
If many skeins/group all that together.

When I have 10-15 balls/skeins/cake, I put them in a hammock on the wall.
I used a pegboard for those yarns I have a small amount up to 2 skeins. These were caked and I used cut up dowels to stick into the holes of the pegboard. Significant less expensive than those pegboard prongs!
See through buckets for large amount of yarn sorted by Brand.
And cubed bookcases.
Maybe, if I remember I can share the pictures.

I like to organize yarn by texture/type, and then color code them warm/cool tones :stuck_out_tongue:
