Something that helped me is making an actual yarn budget! I put a certain amount in my yarn budget account each paycheck! It really makes me think before purchasing and helps me be very selective and intentional when I purchase!

This was a great conclusion to the series! This is what I do, I usually buy without a plan but now I’m having to have one.

Thank you for this series! It’s motivated me to become more intentional with my yarn purchases and organization. Wish I knew my way around a spreadsheet like you do!! ❤🧶

Thank you for making such a great mini series on these topics. They were all so informative and I learned a lot of great tips, particularly with the destash video, which was such a new concept for me. This current video really resonated with me though, particularly your reminder about there being no shortage of beautiful yarn, which is 100% true. Another thing that I’ve been trying to do with my own planning is writing down a couple color idea options with a particular pattern I have my thoughts on making in the future. I try to be as specific as possible with the shades, which I think is really helping me be patient for that special purchase, especially with sweater quantities, and helping me be more intentional with different collection releases.

I loved your yarn stashing series. I would like to add that if you really like how a sweater turned out, make it again! This always gives me confidence that I will enjoy the outcome. If you decide to try a fingering weight sweater, I highly recommend the frothy pullover by Catrina Frost. I have made two and my friend also made one.

I’ve been so intentional about my yarn purchases this year. Seeing all the gorgeous skeins indie dyers post and still having amazing impulse control. Until Addy dropped the Taylor Swift collection and I lost my damn mind, and bought 10 skeins of DK with zero plans lol. I think I’ll make it a temperature blanket or granny square blanket. It’s all pinks and purples and blues, plus two skeins of the white speckle shade. 😂

I only buy fabric and yarn intentionally. A budget helps but some are always influenced by peer pressure to buy more/or buy for the sake of keeping up with someone else. A collector has a focus on what they collect. Specifics to what to purchase. This all depends on why humans collect anything. All stashes are a collection.
