A wool stash , a fabric stash and an embroidery silk stash plus lots of my art materials - all put in see through boxes and slowly getting labelled and used !

It's so easy to get to excited and buy too much !

I suffer from SBALX - Stash Beyond All Life Expectancy. I don't envy my children.

I have a little room next to the bedroom that used to be a gun room ( before our time ) and I keep it in there. The trouble is there are many different balls but not enough of any one colour to make jumpers unless I do multi coloured ones. I have a great big sealed plastic container in there. I used to leave it unsealed but the rotten moths got to it and also my cats liked to steal it and unravel it.

I have a wool stash and I keep mine in zipped, moth -proof, see-through bags. On shelves in a cupboard upstairs

oh dear, mine has got out of hand sad

l decided this morning to tackle it and im resting now as its too much to sort in one go.
l bought 10 totes to put the wool in colour order, as the totes stack on each other & will fit in a space nk to my wardrobe in my bedroom. Now ll have them for easy access and not all over the place in the spare room.
where do you all keep your wool stash ?
