It’s time to face the truth… I’m a yarn hoarder! In this video, I take on the ultimate challenge: cleaning out my yarn stash and decluttering my entire craft room. Watch as I sort through mountains of yarn, rediscover hidden treasures, and make tough decisions about what to keep and what to let go. This extreme before-and-after transformation is not just about organizing-it’s about making space for more creativity (and maybe a little less chaos).
If you're a fellow yarn addict, you might relate to the struggle!

If any body wants to get rid off yarn . Please make some blankets for the Boggy Creek Camp. It is a camp for ill children with their families. There is a group of You Tubers who collect blankets, they call themselves as the Boggy Blanket Brigade for example Juam the yarn addict, Nina ´s Knots Crochets, She ´s got yarn 2, The Crafty Floridian…..

I also just had a thought - my local HS has a crochet club too - so, for anyone looking to donate, that might be an option too.. call around and see if any schools or places like YMCA have knitting or crochet clubs 😊

My craft is a mess, such a mess that I'm overwhelmed when I even think about organizing it. Yarn is not just in the craft room. There's a basket full in my bedroom, the living room, the den, and several in the garage. And then there's the junk journal supplies, the sewing supplies, the painting supplies, the cricut supplies, the jewelry making...I need help!

I completely understand that level of anxiety. I decided to stop looking for sales on yarn and to shop in my own stash. I don't go to yarn stores anymore, unless I need an additional skein for a project. There will always be another great sale out there, and I have enough yarn to last me the rest of my life!

@tipstricks7594 2 дня назад

This is most likely my favorite video. I think so many of us can relate. As crafters and creative people we see potential in so many things. I gave away 8 full trash bags of fabric and 5 of yarn in our last move, it’s been a year now snd my heart still hurts a bit for the fabric mainly. I know truly though I will not have the time in many many years to use it all. Still somehow there was a a physical response to letting go of precious potential. 😊 I wish I could say it was rewarding and refreshing but truly it was just necessary.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

I can relate. It's so hard to let go. I think if I had just donated these supplies to any charity it would have left me a little sad. But the organization I donated to is absolutely wonderful and they are doing great work so I think that's why it felt so good (after it was all done)! 😅

@tipstricks7594 День назад

@@EliseRoseCrochet very true! Only about 2 bags of mine made it to a local charity. The rest of it ended up at Goodwill. Lady I was coordinating with and ended up having surgery and we had to move within the next day or two so I had to let go of it before I was able to get the rest to her.

I feel you, girl! My ADHD doesn't make it any better...

And also a garden house, 2 garages full of stuff, etc Oh and good luck keeping it clean😂😘 Greetings from germany ❤

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

Oooh! I love that! That's a very good way to look at it! 🧶❤️📦

@sidepai 2 дня назад

I do something like that, but with 2 Amazon gift bags. I don't buy more yarn than what fits in the 1st bag for a project or two (they're pretty big sacks, lol). After I'm done with my current project, the extra yarn gets tossed into the second Amazon bag. Once the 2nd bag is filled with extra yarn from projects after they're done, I'll do a stash busting project to empty that bag before buying yarn for the first bag. It keeps my yarn hauls small/easily transportable around my house in the sack so I can crochet in almost any room without taking up a lot of space. Hope that makes sense 😅

@Robin-qc4gn 2 дня назад

❤❤❤I'm not a crocheter (I was, as a kid/teen) but I'm a quilter/sewist/fabric hoarder. (I watch your videos because they bring me joy!) This video spoke to me in so many ways. Two years ago, I did the exact same purge of fabric that I had fallen out of love with. Much of it was expensive Civil War reproduction fabrics that were as I may have said, EXPENSIVE. I also had tons of WIPs, mostly quilt tops and blocks I'd made to make more tops. I wound up donating much of it, especially the quilt tops, blocks and repro fabric to Quilts of Valor and even more of it to local animal shelters, who have volunteers who sew cage pads, crate covers and blankies for the animals (animals are my biggest passion, especially CATS!! HI, MR. PICKLES!!) I felt good about myself, similar to how you felt, I think. And I do swear that although a lot of it had been hidden in closets, etc, this house DEFINITELY feels lighter!!❤❤❤

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

That is so wonderful!!! I'm so glad you love the kitty cats too! Both of mine are rescues and I hope to spread the love of cats through my channel. So many people don't like them and I just think if people realized how silly and wonderful they are they would adopt the kitties in shelters. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have a very hard time throwing stuff out. I work hard for my money and struggled all my life. So to just let it go is against my nature. Every time I do get rid of stuff, within a month I need it. Not even kidding. Got rid of my small clothes, immediately lost 20 pounds. Got rid of the baby clothes, oldest daughter announced her pregnancy. I have bins of yarn that I picked up at garage sales and bought, so no organization. I tend to go buy new stuff when I need it. Super wasteful. So these last few years my challenge is to use up the yarn. I've done pretty good making small things for christmas presents. Scarves, ornaments, etc. Now I'm making tote bags with cross stitch patterns on them. This gets rid of a LOT of the yarn scraps and it makes me happy. Not my wrists but my brain is. :)

Impressive journey to clean out your yarn room! Wonderful that you donated everything to a good cause!!! Surely you will be an inspiration to many who find themselves in the same situation!!!!

Just signed up for Creative Crochet - thank you! Keeping the craft room organized and tidy is a big struggle! And I absolutely love Mr. Pickles

And I feel the same way as you😂 I just went through my crafting/crochet area and had to get rid of some stuff and yarn. And I constantly am saying “but what if one day I need this?” Or even semi sentimental things, I always think “one day I’m gonna be really happy I kept this” I am 15 years old, and am already nostalgic about things that I did last year. Sigh😅

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

The struggle is real and starts early!! 🤣🧶❤️📦

Can't blame you (or anyone) for hoarding. Yarn piles up so fast! I've started crocheting three months ago and I'm already neck-deep in crochet stuff! 🙋

My shed got flooded last November in floods. So now my plastic tubs full of wool are in my office and lounge room. In January I gave a work colleague 1 1/2 garbage bags of yarn. Didn't even make a dent Having a clean out is cleansing for the brain

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

I understand this on so many levels! 💦🧶❤️😩

@NicoleAllen-y1d 2 дня назад

Oh boy this was Soooooo satisfying! I’m needing to go through my craft room too (I also share it with the laundry room) looking forward to catching up on all of your videos! It’s been so busy on the farm but my favorite season is upon us and I’m excited for all the fun things to make while I binge watch! 🧶 ❤

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

I'm soooo glad!!! You're a busy lady and I hope you get some crafty/rest time soon! 🧶🧶🤣

This video was so motivating. I started cleaning out my craft/exercise room. After days of going through stuff I lost my motivation. This video gave me the push I needed. Thank you so much.

You'll feel soooooo good when it's done!! You got this!! 🙌❤️🧶📦

You have a very accepting Husband. O belong to a Knitting and Crochet group and one of my problems is saying NO to some the the great yarn that is donated. I already have one an two skeins that will become Winter hats for the homeless. I also have a great wife that keeps me in line with my hoarding tendencies . So glad for this video. Now I don't feel so bad. :)

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

Haha!! My husband is completely the opposite from me in that regard! He loves when I'm ready to get rid of things! 🤣 It's sooooo hard for me to let go but now it feels so good! My craft room only has supplies and projects I love!!! 🧶❤️📦😊

@debraewing9703 2 дня назад

Thank you so much for sharing this clean up video with us, Elise! It is just what I needed right now. So motivational! Congratulations on your new, clean craft room! 🎉 🧶

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

Thank you!! So glad that you found it motivating! It feels so good to have a clean and tidy craft room (now I just have to keep it this way, lol) 🤣

@StarShine-xb5gg 2 дня назад

It's hard getting rid of the things you feel you need. I'm like that with office supplies but that's life. And hey, if whatever you can't donate (state of it and anything in between) I'll take it and even pay for the shipping LOL.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

Watching this while I work through my little stash of odd skeins, they're all being made into beanies and scarves to go to a local charity. I felt like I had lost my crojo lately, so working on quick and easy projects is keeping my spirits up 😊

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

That's wonderful!!! Sounds like you have a good plan! 🧶🧶🧶

@PetraRobinson-gm8nh 2 дня назад

What a difference. I come from a family where rooms were cluttered, not like hoarders or anything like that, but just cluttered. So I throw things out regularly and my motto is, if I have not thought about something in 6 months it can go. I need a tidy and roomy space when I crochet, knit or sew otherwise my brain goes crazy. I am very proud of you.

I've decluttered at least 40 boxes of stuff ... not all craft stuff. I haven't missed 1 item! I have an opportunity to teach a crochet class series and faciliate a seniors craft time in the near future. Guess where my extras are going? Feels great when everything gets used.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

That's wonderful!!! I'm not missing anything either!! ❤️🧶📦😊

@LisaBrook-rx2qj 2 дня назад

Dollar tree does well plastic basket labels that can hang on your baskets .They are great. Good declutter every so often. Hard to avoid buying more yarn though. I just bought some unused balls at my local thrift store the other day. Brand names and it was seniors day so I got 30% off.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

Oooh! Sounds like you got a great deal!! ❤️🧶😊

@trishgoud17 2 дня назад

Love this! For anyone looking to donate, if you're having trouble finding a group in your area that will help your yarn go to good use, try your local schools! Many art teachers (well, teachers in general) have to purchase things for their students from their own pockets and would gladly take donations of gently used yarn and other craft supplies!

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

This is wonderful information! Thank you for sharing!! 🧶❤️😊

I would love to have some of it I MAKE all kinds of baby blankets for the ladies in our church and I make afghans for people and I don’t church any thing I’m 78 years old so I can’t afford to buy a lot of three but I crochet every dad

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

Awwww! Wish I could have sent some to you!! ❤️🧶📦😊

@mamasmountains 2 дня назад

I've been doing declutter with Cas but have not done my craft room yet. When I saw your video I knew it was a sign! I'm still sitting on the floor overwhelmed lol. I have yarn and craft stuff in several areas and it's time to organize and let go. Thank you for the motivation! I hope to find someone who can use a great donation.❤

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

I love the Clutter Bug!!!! She's amazing and a huge inspiration for me! You got this and you'll feel so good when it's done! 🧶❤️📦😊

@nanno8483 2 дня назад

Elise, I think you are a yarn hoarder. Looking at the craft room behind you, it is possible that you may be a project hoarder as well. Can't think of a single thing wrong with either!!

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

I really think I am an emotional hoarder and it's something I have to work really hard on. I'm learning to let go... but everything inside me screams NOOOOOOOOOO! 🤣🤣🤣

@heathermacmaster5666 2 дня назад

So the zombie apocalypse is real or so says my husband. I was a dragon in a former life cause my hoard is my happiness and I recently made a skirt that I wear all the time with fabric I bought 35 years ago in high school so never say never!!! 😂

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

Lol!!! Are we twins?????? 🤣🤣🤣

@kristalburns3490 2 дня назад

Hoarder? Hardly. It is when you rent a house and just fill the rooms full of yarn is when you get to hoarder status. If anyone else needs to do this and needs ideas for where to look to donate, do check with your local library. Some have maker spaces and the crochet/knitting portion of those spaces are probably pretty sad.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

Great idea!!! Thanks for sharing! ❤️🧶😊

@Macha-the-boba-tea-2 2 дня назад

I’m back!!!!! Sorting yarn is hard in my opinion lol because I have lots of yarn I don’t use and I can’t put them anywhere else other than a big bag beside my piano

Great job Elise! 🙌 my family also never threw away anything… I feel you on this one. I totally need to go through my room and do a big purge just like this. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the good work! ☺️💖🙌

Thank you!! It's so hard to fight those tendencies we inherited from our families! 🧶🤣📦❤️

@cends2008 2 дня назад

Just wondering 🤔 you picked up Premier puzzle yarn at Walmart and fell in love with the throw on the cover. Did you decide to make it yet? I found the yarn at my local store and wanted to make it too 😂.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

I kept that yarn but haven't started the project yet! Someday!! 🧶🧶🧶

@kerriestuckey610 2 дня назад

So glad you found a charity to donate to. I knit for charity groups in Australia and we love getting unused or unwanted yarn. Save the group money and the environment. Plus we get to make so many wonderful items 👍

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 дня назад

Yes!!! 🙌 I was so excited to donate to this organization!! They couldn't believe it was all my personal stash, lol! 😝
