Hey My Crocheters!
I just did a quick count of my yarn stash and I have over 270 skeins, cakes, donuts, and hanks! I am a crochet designer and that does require that I buy yarn, but wow! I have mostly Hobbii yarn since I love their fiber selection and variety of colorways. I especially love all the alpaca yarn choices they have. Alpaca is my favorite fiber by far. I also have yarn from hand dyers. I love hand dyed yarn. Each hank or skein is unique and I love that.
My biggest gripe about hand dyed yarn is that some of the colorways go away ver quickly or they are on preorder only. That’s not ideal for a pattern designer. If I made finished items that would be great. I still love them all. I have yarn from Bad Sheep Yarn Company, Viking Fiber Company, Sock Obsessions Yarn, Yarntopia, and Six and Fiber. I have been dying (see what I did there?) to try Arcane. They have so many pretty colorways to choose from. I also like that they have a section on their site to work with designers. Yes, please! I sadly will have to work through my current stash before I partner up with a hand dyer. One day though. It would be such fun. Until then I will have plenty of yarn choices!
Let me know in the comments what your stash looks like and how many pieces it has. You can also check out my Facebook group “Yarn Packin Mama Crochet Fashion and Accessories”www.facebook.com/yarnpackinmama
