1. Clean Up Your Stash 

Now is the time to clean up your stash! Some ideas:

  • Go through your yarn stash and coordinate by weight and/or color
  • Check out patterns that use a multitude of colors, such as shawls and lightweight blankets
  • Use clear plastic containers if you don't have any other place to store your yarn
  • Fillory Yarn is a drop off point for Project Linus, so if you need to get your stash out of your house, you can drop it off here for a great cause!

 2. Spruce up your Knitting Tool Kit

Clean out your tool kit! Start by dumping everything out, and sorting through the items to see what to keep and what to trash. If you need a new pair of scissors or measuring tape, we have great options available! Check out our notions for cool ideas!
