Before the sorting.Be very careful what you wish or ask for. Our friends are cleaning out there big house in preparation to one day sell it. First, Wednesday night we went over to pick up a Passap electronic knitting machine and she then gives me 3 bags of yarn. Second, Thursday morning they called to say that they found another box of parts for the knitting machine and to come over. Well.....that was only the beginning. Three trips to my house later, I had brought home 45 trash bags (mostly the big black ones), only 3 of these bags were filled with craft kits and the rest was all yarn. This is all acrylic yarn and some of it is definitely Vintage since I've not seen these colors before or in a very long time.
I then spent all afternoon and evening sorting the yarn into groups, baby, cotton, variegated, solids, and multiple skeins enough for a sweater. Now today, I have to figure out where to put all of this till I can get busy to knit it up. I am not allowed to buy yarn ever again!!!!! I even sorted out some specifically to make sweaters for myself.
I was thrilled to find some yarn that matched a baby blanket I had been working on and ran out of yarn on. Most of the yarn is Red Heart, but there is Caron, Lion Brand, and about every other brand you can think of. So, if you run out of yarn on your project, it's very possible I may now have it. There are several of the RH Fiesta in colors I haven't seen in ages.
I did manage to get everything sorted and put downstairs. I even segregated it to its own areas by type.
Yes, it is possible to have too much yarn! A huge thank you to Steve and Roseann.
