I just had to throw away an enormous ball of tangled yarns. A lot of yarns.
It pissed me off, it felt really wasteful, and I had to force myself to do it.
So here’s my new solution:
With the realization about being a visual organizer, I’m totally re-evaluating how I store and use all of my equipment, projects, and gear. I’m pulling this technique straight from the kitchen, where we store all of our bulk foods in glass jars on a shelf. (Bulk foods are the items we buy in bulk from the Co-op: flour, beans, grains, spices, etc. It’s a great way to save on space and money–you just buy what you need.)
The jars make the ingredients easy to find, easy to replenish, and easy to identify.
I have great faith that this technique will make things like my current project (this super cute hat made in Plymouth sparkly llama ) easy to finish instead of a heartbreaking, tangled mess that will inevitably end up in the trash.
And re-used jars are free. *
*Come back tomorrow and I’ll tell you how to get rid of the pickle smell.

Lovin' this! I just packed up a whole bag of snipped that I cut up from tangled balls! They're great for felting though:)
Yes! I am also a visual organizer. If I can’t see it, it might as well not exist. What a great idea!!!
And, can’t wait for the end of pickle smell ideas.
