We have a set of school type lockers that I have in my craft room. I keep all of my scrap yarns rolled into a ball. I keep a couple of lockers full of my “yarn balls”.
on a wire shelf rack normally, thx! Dar
You can use old coffee cans. Keep the lid. Put the yarn in a storage bag and the bag in the can. Fold the bag ends to the outside of the can. Cut an “X” in the lid. Pull the loose of the yarn though the whole in the lid and snap the lid in place. The yarn will pull neatly though the lid for everyday use. This storage method helps keep lint (or pet hair) out of your yarn and also helps keep the yarn from knotting up while you are working. You can put a label on the can with the yarn color and lot number. The cans stack neatly in cabinets for easy storage. The storage bag helps cut down on any left over coffee smells, but be sure to wash the cans before you use them. Great recycling tip as well.
Whether I have small scraps of yarn or need bobbins of yarn for a project, I wind the yarn around the center post of foam hair rollers (after removing the foam). If the center post of the rollers doesn’t spin, place a piece of a plastic drinking straw over the post before winding on the yarn. The clip keeps the yarn in place when stored, and the straw allows the yarn to unwind easily as needed. You can get a package of 48 (in four assorted sizes) for under $10.00. The rollers of yarn can be stored in a plastic zippered bag till needed.
I have so much yarn and trying to organize my collection.
i use a 2 liter bottle
I store all my tiny scraps in a big clear plastic bear.I love to look at it LOL all my balls are in baskets under my favorite chair. Skeins are in an ottoman with a lid. That is just in the living room of course *wink*
