Peg Project

 Some of my Sheepjees Stone Wash yarn has  similar colors...since I like to make yarn balls out of every skein I needed some way to keep track of colors...I have 30 of the 36 colors. 


Using clothes pins/pegs works quite well and will also help me with choosing colors to reorder and help with the color decisions for a mosaic crochet project. 

Far Guy is a great yarn winder.  I pile the near his desk and he winds while watching music videos or movies. 

This yarn is a cotton /acrylic blend so it washes well and you lay it flat to dry.  I use it for my small purse projects and presently a mosaic crochet as you go blanket.

    I have seen others that do this with clothes pins and they all say that it makes it easy to choose colors to work with. I go through yarn so quickly that I just use it from the skein. :-)

    A wonderful idea and less confusing than relying on yarn labels.

    Great idea! I hate winding balls of yarns from the skeins as I always end up with a tangled mess. I'm obviously doing something wrong.

    An artists needs to know their palate. My wife is big in following the color charts for her painting. I just don't paint so I don't have to worry about it. You have made some great art works with your yarn.
