My Fiber Stash is Alive – What Are Your Tips to Tame It?

Some organized fiber. I’m not prepared to show you my ‘before’ stash photo yet.

My fiber stash is a beast out of control! I have lots of fiber, most of it dyed braids, but there are batts and natural bumps too, plus a few bags of fleece.

I have an overwhelming need to reorganize my stash. Right now it’s organized by fiber and some of it is grouped by dyer. I have it stored in big zipper bags from Ikea, but I really don’t like it. I reorganize at least once a year, changing up storage containers and what fiber hangs out with what fiber. Usually while I’m organizing, I make a plan to spin down my stash that is so grandiose and complex that I never do it.

I always do this reorganization during the winter, every wnter. I think I get cabin fever and need to immerse myself in color, literally. I really do like touching it all!

This year before I dive into my winter ritual, I want to ask all of you – how do you organize your spinning stash? How do you spin down your stash?

I’ll share your tips here so we can all benefit from the collective spinning smarts!
