Time To LEVEL UP My Yarn Stash! 

Hi Shannon, I have colors of all kinds. I like working with a color that suits my mood at the time. I do think it's important to use colors you like. I make items mostly for others so that is why I have a variety of colors. I also get bored using the same colors all the time. We each have our own taste so we work with all the colors we like.😊 You got some good buys.

I am loving the more earthy tones more. I always loved pastels and thought that would be my favorite colorway to work with. Who knew..

Hi, I’m Kay from Australia. I’m plus size, in my early sixties, returned to crochet recently after a long break from it. It’s so good to find someone who understands the cost of buying larger amounts of yarn for larger sizing and the idea of a limited colour palette for the stash. I’m a bit of a ‘hydrangea’ colour fan with navy as my base. I’m looking forward to learning and sharing hear.

So fun to see what you chose from the infinite possibilities among those 3 stores! Loved spending time with you today!

I am making an afghan for myself with the Southernland stripe Red Heart because it’s beautiful . I just fell in love with the colors and I always spend my time making 100’s of scarves for others. It will be ready for fall and my recliner!

The rust color in big twist is gorgeous ❤

Those colors are lovely. I hope the projects you start turn out well.😊❤

I love how all your yarn colors go together it's so aesthetic! My yarn stash is a little chaotic at the moment but it does make for a rainbow-y background haha.

The bonanza bundles are pretty

Hi Shannon 🤗 awesome yarns! I looovvve all the “Shannon colours” 🥰🧶🤩

Great as always. Here’s a thought for you-a couple of years ago I went to Home Depot and bought plastic milk creates when they had them on sale. There are stackable, much better than shelves for keeping yarn under control. I put them against a section of a wall, and then I can see all my stash. You might give it some thought rather than keeping your yarn in the closet. It really helps to see what you have on hand!

I got the irish rain soft and sleek for my first sweater! Those balls last forever! I was looking for a yarn for my first sweater and saw it in store, but didn't buy right away. After going home i was still thinking about how pretty the color was, and had to go back and get it! One thing to be aware, the balls are so big and loosely balled the outer layers start coming unwound. I would recommend a yarn container and not doing center pull, it would collapse into a mess. I'm loving how soft and drapey it's working up!

I love, love, love your color palette! Must be a 70's thing.😅

I'm glad to see someone modeling restraint. It seems to be a bad word in the yarn community. I price 4 weight acrylic yarn by the yard. 1cent per yard is a very nice sale. I use a lot of Redheart because I need easy care items. I have found the burgundy color to feel a lot like sandpaper. I'm not sure why different colors have different textures. Redheart has proven to be a sturdy yarn. Things my mother made for my children are still holding up nicely into their adult years. It was fun to see what you purchased.

It's funny. I love (sans the mustard 😟) all the colors you've collected, but like you with something more colorful, I don't see my self in them. Most of what I own revolves around the blues. Mostly in a medium to deep hue.

Looks like you had a fun shopping trip :) I love that Soft and Sleek from Hobby Lobby too. I had a sweater I made from a hand dyed yarn that I ran out before I could make the button band, so I was trying to find something to match it and that color was one of the closest things I could find locally. Very pretty tonals in that and I think the color itself is very sophisticated. Im happy to see what you make with it :)

As far as my stash. I want to create wearables from historical patterns or combine it with my sewing or quilting. So I am rebuilding and going to purchase natural fibers now. But will make amigurumi with my acrylic.

I have the Big Stripe Latte and I made my son a Hexi-Cardi with it.

I love colors but I don't wear bright colors. I still buy them for household or donations. I want to work with all the colors😂. I really appreciate your videos and they help me. Thank you.

The green would be a pine green in my opinion.

Joanne’s great value splits on me sadly . But it’s a soft yarn

Beautiful yarn! I love all the colors you picked out! ♥️😃

How did you like the Drops Circus hook? What other hooks would you think it’s comparable to?
