Working My Yarn Stash Down In 2024

For years, I have collected yarn based upon, for the most part, what my children prefer in colors.

I have lots of pinks, lots of frog green, lots of yellows.

I have a lot of yarn bought for various projects, made and not made.

I have remnants and random balls for a varied amount of projects.

I have a stash of yarn the likes of which the Gods would quake at the sight of.

And for the most part, the yarn in my stash is not yarn I like. It is not my color, not my texture, not my whatever.

Do not get me wrong. Thanks to Hobbii and Joann and other Black Friday/end of the year clearance sales, I do have a stash of yarn in my colors (or rather shades: blacks and greys, a little blue, a little green). There is plenty in my stash to keep me in sweaters and shorts and skirts for a while moving forward.

But what about all the other yarns and colors and stacks and bins?

That is what my focus is going to be on this year. Destashing. I will take one bin, one tote, one section of stored yarn at a time. Once I pull the yarn out and look at it, I will decide what to do with it. Will it be throw blankets, bed blankets, shawls, hats, slippers, socks, fodder for our youngest to practice his handwork? It will all depend on what’s in the box.

I have no deadline on this project. I figure it may take a while, on top of all of my other crocheting that I have planned.

Do you have a yarn stash?

What plans do you have for your stash? If any?
