organizing my yarn and getting my life together 

Hi Emma, I'm not usually someone to comment something like this - but you are a person I greatly admire and respect in this community and I love this video - you talked in your sponsored section about how therapy has really helped you with your queer identity and thats super amazing. Unfortunately, Better Help has a history of really hurting its queer users by matching them with unsupportive people who attempt to convert them or say harmful things, along with issues of them allowing unlicensed therapists onto the website and other similar issues. In a time where many queer people are struggling with their mental health I understand you had the best of intentions with this, however I think a lot of your audience, myself included, would appreciate you looking a bit more into their company before accepting a sponsorship. Much love, and absolutely no hate intended like I say I adore your content and don't allow a silly person on the internet to sway your views, I just figured you should know about this and reconsider taking a sponsorship with them next time.

This whole video got me side-eyeing the closet where I've unceremoniously shoved my yarn stash.

:/ given all the controversies and lawsuits against Better Help, kind of surprised to see it as a sponsor here :/

my scary swatch bag has been invaluable to me. Whenever something I made gets a hole, the old swatch is right there for me to bring back matching yarn to repair it

Lovingly and respectfully: get some cedar planks and lavender sachets for that closet to keep your stash safe!

Watching this and crocheting. Giggling at the idea of a Christmas present being spoiled by seeing the ball of yarn you’re gonna use to make it. I get it haha ( 1:40 )

I have found that only keeping yarn around that I know what I'm going to do with helps a lot with my organization. I don't do a lot of scrap work, so I end up taking any extra yarn after a project and just dropping it off somewhere usually. But I also tend to plan several projects ahead, so buying for exact purposes works for me. I like seeing how other people organize their stuff and go through the process of getting it ready for use.

It's always satisfying to go through and see what you've got and take stock of what you want to keep/do things with and the like. I remember when I first put my (admittedly ridiculously large hoarded) Felici stash into bins and then later reorganized into something approximating alphabetical order. I even labeled what colorways were in which bin. Of course, now I've used some and some are still pulled out . . . it never ends lol.

There is something very satisfying about cleaning up a closet, isn’t there? And with all your yarn there’s also SO much to look forward to! Have fun 😊

I love seeing yarn organizing and destashing videos! I am currently trying to go through all of my stashed yarn and work on projects with the yarn I have instead of buying anything for now

i appreciate the amount of jaida content we get in emmas videos

Wow that pink & orange yarn 🤩 definitely adding to cart

Hi, I'm knitting an anything raglan while watching this! It's in a dark green yarn with regular stockinette, except I'm adding a row of purls every 6 rows. Watching this while making it was very fun and ill be sure to @ you if I post abt it!! Thank you ‼️❤️❤️

I over bought yarn while working from home during the pandemic. As soon as I had to be back in the building my crochet time was cut by 90%. I ended up gathering bags and organizing my yarn by project (yarn and printed patterns together) and then into bins based on project size. So I have a bin for blankets, sweaters, small projects, and TBD. Also, shout out to Make+Mend. They are great!

thank you for this video, it's such a chill vlog and v relaxing!

The perfect video to listen to while packing up my fabric stash to move!

I want to take all of my swatches and make a blanket with it some day

please reconsider Better Help. theyre extremely unethical and i’m shocked given how much research you usually put behind your content that you’re letting them sponsor you :(

woah I did gasp with the reveal of the back bows!!!!! so good!!!!! love this a million times over!!!

I absolutely love all your plants! at thirteen I personally own and take care of over seventy and love them so much

i was just looking for videos about this yesterday!!

I’m glad you are getting therapy. Sometimes we just need that person to talk to. You’re a wonderful spirit with a joyous soul. 😊

I think it looks a lot more organized. The pink and orange yarn looks yummy.

Looking at your yarn stash makes me look at my like 5 totes worth of yarn in envy. I wish i had the time/energy to organize

OMG I love make & mend!!!! I just visited them a couple weeks ago and bought a tonnnn of yarn plus some needles. They have everything you could possibly think of there and then some, it's amazing

I'm dying to see that pink and orange yarn in a project, its gorgeous

Ugh my closet of yarn shares the space with clothes and the yarn is winning. I will be 61 on Monday and I can’t possibly knit and crochet fast enough to use up all this yarn before I die, but yet............ 🤪 Emma, it saddens me that you even have to struggle with your identity. In this day and age you shouldn’t have to. Sending lots of love from Arkansas! 🧶🧶🧶

That hot pink and orange yarn is so pretty!

Hi Emma! Thanks for the video! I was wondering, how do you prevent any moth damage to your yarns?

Hi Emma, I have a suggestion/mini challenge for you that will use up some of the things in your scary bag of swatches, random flowers, tapestry, and random loose granny squares. Take the ones that match the best and you like the look of together, and combine them using your scrap yarn to make a peice that appears to be free hand. I'd recommend watching Jenna Phipps's "i tried free hand crochet for the first time.." video to understand what I'm trying to get at. It will use up a bunch of your random bits and bobs and it will come out looking really nice depending on which peices you knit/crochet together. Best of luck!

Am I hallucinating or was this posted earlier ? I was just looking for this video for dinner bc I could have sworn I saw a notification while I was at work

You have such a collection of cool colours!!🥺 am i a weirdo for being so scared of textile pests that i keep all my yarn and craft fabrics in airtight containers...? loose yarn in a closet like this is such a wild concept to me!

love your videos! but better help is not a great company… lots of excellent videos on yt explaining why

the "made in the moment" banner would be a cool prop to have in the background for your videos!

I thought I was the only one who keeps the ends ;) . Happy to see another person.

Hey Emma, what is the color code for the noro yarn green and grey and blue. They look gorgerous! I want to make a beanie with that color..thanks!

goddamn I love the arcane fibreworks yarns

Not you pulling out the loops and threads yarn while im knitting a hat with that exact color 😭

I love yarn too and have a looooooot🤣 The blanket on your sofa is gorgeous. Is that your pattern and if yes is it available for purchase?

I'm absolutely obsessed with the blanket on the couch in this video, does anyone know the pattern by chance?

How do you keep your stored yarn from smelling musty in an apartment closet T.T mine keeps getting like that and I haven’t even had most of it that long.

we sneeze exactly the same and it’s a little scary lol

Echoing into the void, BetterHelp is not it. Please reconsider sponsor choice in the future?

Do you double cake/wind your yarn or is one good enough?

Wait! Ann Arbor? You were in Michigan? Sweet! Was it one of the fiber expos?

i get that you have to make a living but the promo is really weird considering betterhelp notoriously referred someone to a "therapist" who told him to stop being gay

Ohhh noooo.. you took down the WnF video, and the others. They are so good, and full of information.

Can someone tell me from what brand the yarn on the right is from? (13:30)

All hail Jaida, Queen of Chaos!

Adding making a crochet channel to my todo list so I can be gifted gorgeous silk mohair’s like you lol !!

I was wondering where this video went 😂

Me hearing Moa's name: I KNOW HER! lol (I am one of her testers lol)

"When I was in Ann Arbor I went to this art fair" Are you telling me I was at the same art fair as The emma inthemoment and didn't even know it

I genuinely can't make the same product more than five times. It breaks all of my brain cells and then I'm artcomatose until I rage quit on the impending doom repeat stupid project and make something new.

You obviously do not collect yarn like I do! Collecting yarn and knitting/crochet/crafting are separate hobbies 😂😂😂

I saw something I sent you 🥰 But can you and jaida come and do this at my place next pls

MAKE A BLANKET OUT OF YOUR SWATCHES JUST KEEP ADDING ON

😂😂😂

Damn, im already tired just seeing everything out 😭

Mystery animal vest? No! Dino vest.

What is this “swatch “ you speak of? I have never heard of this. ( I’m too damn lazy to do swatches most of the time, i will test square designs and thats it for swatching. I need to do better.)

I would work for yarn lol 😂 anyone looking for an assistant 😇 hahaha

I feel targeted lol
