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.

What a clever idea! I love it. Best way I have ever seen to keep track of yarn.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really clever idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely great way to visually organize colors & use clothespins! Love this!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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. :-)

That is brilliant!

A wonderful idea and less confusing than relying on yarn labels.
ReplyDeleteYou clever gal, you!!!! You never cease to amaze me, Connie!! :-) ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteClever idea. What beautiful colors, too.
ReplyDeleteI echo the other comments....brilliant!
ReplyDeleteNot only is this a great organizational tool, but it's so pretty besides.
ReplyDeleteAn 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.
ReplyDeleteThat looks very practical and kind of pretty too.
ReplyDeleteLove all the colors.....can't wait to see what you make next! Way to go far guy!
ReplyDeleteVery smart idea! I love the colors, too.
ReplyDeleteYOU are way too organized!
ReplyDeleteVery clever system! And they look so pretty in their array, I’m sure they are inspiring.
