Nothing like a "day off" to organize the stock yarn. Eventually I'd like to replace all the cardboard boxes with the blue totes, like the 2 on the left with YF Stock in white paper. The cardboards just been the way they fell I guess, from the beginning. They are safe and lighter for me to toss around. They each have a thick XL plastic bag which gets twisted and pushed down so nothing can enter. Inside are kilo's of individually bagged yarn that are filed into it. The system works well so long as nothing is piled atop the front or back row.
What's in the totes?

Along with fabric and some stock but most of it's hand spun or manufactured yarn. As I use it up, been making a lot of blankets, the totes are freed up. I had a large stack of empties which went into replacing the cardboard that was full of undyed roving. Many of the totes are full of roving for hand spinning.
More then you needed to know, just SO nice to be able to do something that physical while this sick I guess. Great feeling of freedom and accomplishment. Course I did this 2 years ago and it got cluttered up again so I know another organizing day will come round. But, today, right now, I'm very pleased with the effort. When it comes time to do it again, I'll be ready.
