Operation bust the stash is on

 

My stash is sufficient yet I keep buying more yarn. I mean when I see the yarn, fall in love and purchase; the goal is always to take it home and cast on. Ha! That never happens!

I still have yarn in my stash that I purchased during my first visit to a yarn shop 😳 Hell, the yarn in the featured picture I have had for 2 years 😱, yea I’m a YarnHo, to my core. You see that yarn, I promise you Laura from Rainbow Twist Shop gets me every time.

Feeding my stash when I’m unemployed is just not smart, so to keep the Etsy shop going I have been diving into what I already own.

That beautiful skein from Nicole Frost Yarn turn into this beauty! I grabbed some large needles, a US50 I think and knit this up in no time. 

Then I found some Nikki (discontinued) by Cascade Yarns and made up shawls. Shawls that I couldn’t knit fast enough, they sold as fast as I made them 😊 I used the easier shawl ever pattern. 


Of course I got the “what yarn is that?” question and I felt bad to advise they were discontinued ☹️

Me and Cascade yarns go together because I also had Casablanca in my collection; another one that is discontinued. The colors in this one blew my mind. I had to post it for sale before I decided to keep this one.


When I tell you this has been a Cascade Yarns time for me, because I also used Ecological Wool. I held it with Aztec Boucle to make what I call Still Winter Cowl. You can find the pattern for that here. 


Am I alone? Do I have any stash busters here?

Knit on my fiber friends….knit on

  1. I have been doing the same thing. I reorganized my yarn into smaller-sized clear plastic bins. Now, I can see what I have.

    The best part of stash busting is you get to fall in love with your yarn all over again.
