Being an organization and productivity junkie, I began to pair the planning of this post with being able to cross something off my to-do list. I have been meaning to wind my stash into nice, stackable cakes for a while now in order to make more room on my bookcase.
So, I thought I would show off my stash (plus three skeins of my handspun) in my favorite curve:
Now my arm aches from winding, but the next time I'm itching to start working on a new project, I'll be ready to go!
Also, my stash looks wonderful neatly ordered on my bookcase shelf now:

Beautiful! Look at all the colors.
ReplyDeleteI love the spiral and the stacks - two beautiful pics! Oh I wish I was organized and neat enough to tackle winding my yarn into cakes.
ReplyDeleteI like how your stash is so visible on a bookshelf. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I am a big fan of the lavender purple stash you have!
ReplyDeleteIt is Knit Picks Gloss Lace, I've never worked with lace before so I bought it to give it a try, but I have yet to find the perfect pattern.
DeleteI love yarn cakes ... and yours are super pretty. Now whenever you see a pattern you want to knit, all your cakes will be ready and waiting!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! And yarn winding is so addictive - thankfully there are swifts and winders! I've handwound fingering weight and lace weight skeins by hand - the fingering weight almost 600 yards and the lace weight approx 1700 yards. OMG, my arm was ready to fall off.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that sounds horribly painful! But it must have been great when you were finished.
DeleteYour yarn looks beautiful and so enticing! My fingers are itching to reach out and touch it. And maybe slip a few in my purse .... :o)
Deletepretty yarn, they look so lovely wound up like that
ReplyDeleteYour photos are great - the color photography is really nice. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYarn vortex! And a very tidy one too. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your take on today's challenge - very unique and your stash looks scrumptious, all organised and wound
ReplyDeleteThe curve is cool. I wound most of my hanks recently too. It really does hurt after awhile
ReplyDeleteSo simple yet very creative. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the spiral, too.
ReplyDeleteLove all the colors! Great photo. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, which ones are hand spun?
ReplyDeleteNice way to combine 2 jobs in one...I like it. Great colors.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! You have such a colorful (and now organized) stash!
ReplyDeleteAnd now you're ready to cast on whenever you feel like it! I hate wanting to cast on, only to realize that means I need to wind the yarn ...
ReplyDeleteI love the swirl. I wish I had more room on my bookcases - I really like seeing yarn on display. :)
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! I love the yarn cake swirl. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I hate winding yarn, I leave it till I HAVE to!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your photos! Great composition. And those cakes add a nice touch to any room. They are perfect decor. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteI've just nominated your swirl cake pic for the Photography Challenge at http://www.eskimimimakes.com/. Good luck!
ReplyDeletevery awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo the question is, which cake is going to be knit up first? They all look so inviting.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always so crisp and beautiful, and today is no exception! Love, love, love!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful yarn! I love the azure blue ones in the spiral shot, but that pink is glorious!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! It makes me want to go to my own stash and rewind everything into beautiful cakes like yours!
