What is the best way to store your yarn

[deann]

Hello,

How do you store your knitting yarn until you need it? Is there a special way/place? Does it depend on the type of yarn (cotton/acrylic, etc). Of course I will eventually use it, but just asking!!

Thank you

I keep mine in plastic bags in plastic totes. Many many totes. And in boxes and more boxes...

LOL....so just like mine, although you probably have much more!! I have mine in plastic inside a box. Thanks so much for the info.

I have a solid and glassed front cabinet that I keep acrylic and cotton in. My wool is in one of those giant Ziplocs. Well, that's most of it... I have a bunch in the LYS bags sitting on my sewing machine in the closet. If you don't look in there it's all nice and neat.

I have mine in about a billion boxes. Most of my stuff is just acrylic, so I don't really bother with storing it too special.

Zippered plastic (acrylic?) project bags.

I don't have that much room, but if you do Dollyce's method is awesome! You can actually see your stash!

Mine's all stored in the basement in plastic bags inside plastic bins. There's also some of those plastic drawer things and a few cardboard boxes.

My wool is in giant ziplocs with the air squeezed out, in labeled cardboard boxes. My acrylic is loose in sealed giant plastic bins. Makes it all a bit hard to fondle, but it works for me...
