I have spent the last two years “shopping” from my stash. It has been interesting to combine yarns to make projects. I have gone from 6 storage bins to one very full one. The only yarn I have bought has been when asked for something in particular which I didn’t have the yarn for or on a few occasions a holiday one skein treat!
Sue, that's what I would like to also do. 1) Remind myself that I bought this yarn with an idea in mind or because I loved it, and 2) come up with new ways of mixing yarn and be surprised by the results.
Oh, I'm so pleased I found this. I absolutely love the idea of a yarn pantry. I have a similar strategy when it comes to yarn storage. I have one big storage box and a smaller box by my bed. Once my stash spills out from these boxes it's time for some strategic culling or stashbusting.

Yes! Happy to see I am not alone in both loving the idea of the pantry and keeping it contained :)
