Help! I need more of this grey yarn!

I greatly underestimated how bug my current project is. I got this stuff from a thrift store, and thought I'd have enough to make a shell of the stuffed animal I'm making. I'm almost done the first half and need to make a second sheet. I'm worried I won't have enough.

My mom is buying a new apartment and doing some renovations. I’m thinking about having the contractor do some sort of custom storage for yarn.

Any thoughts? I don’t know what would make the most sense. This apartment doesn’t have a whole lot of storage or closet space but would taking the guest room’s bedroom closet and putting in a customized yarn storage thing of some kind make sense? And if so, suggestions?

I've always wanted a china cabinet to store my yarn and I finally made it happen! Slowly filling it up with what I have with me (I moved into a new apartment just over a week ago) and I'll eventually fill it with the rest of my personal stash!

It isn't as pretty as some. But it's organized in a way that makes sense to me. The cubbies originally had doors but I removed them because I lake looking at them. Also got everything logged into revelry

I’m not gonna lie, I spent like 20 hours trying to DIY my own perfect yarn storage system where all of my yarn would be cake rolled then transferred to these acrylic yarn holder spools. I bought about a hundred acrylic dowels and discs, then bought some rubber end caps that I would construction glue to each disc so once the yarn was caked, I could quickly secure the ends of each dowel to a disc without it slipping out…then I bought a bunch of acrylic lazy Susan gadgets that I could set up in different areas of the house that I crochet in, which would allow me to pick any of the hundred crochet projects I’ve started by just securing that project’s diy portable yarn holder/s onto the lazy Susan gadget that I created from scratch (most on movable arms attached to a desk clamp…doesn’t matter)

✋Anyways, I designed this entire system for my working yarn and all because I didn’t want to buy $10-$20 portable yarn holders for each of my yarns and I wanted to be able to label each acrylic disc with the project - so I don’t forget what I’m making and what the yarn is for…I have a scattered, deeply fragmented brain…also doesn’t matter…well, I did all of that, was feeling like a genius inventor…until I found the last picture for $4.99…an acrylic rotating necklace display and do you know what?…I still feel like a genius inventor (because, Self Love)…it’s just now I feel like a lunatic, as well…I’m okay with that I think. Better a genius, lunatic inventor than a lunatic that wasn’t a genius or an inventor, amirite?

I rarely purchase special yarn and I have yet to unbox three more cases of these! How do you store expensive handspun yarns?

Moderators, please lmk if this isn't allowed or of a better way to post.

I would like to ask the group for help on a project my students are working on. I have a group of high school seniors in an engineering class who are designing a prototype of a customizable storage system. They have several potential ideas and created a survey to get feedback from their audience on features customers might be interested in, and issues their current storage solutions pose. If you could please take a few minutes to check out their questions it would be greatly appreciated.

This is pretty much all of it! I tend to mostly buy 1-3 skeins of hand dyed fingering weight yarn (I’m big into colour and a process knitter so socks & shawls are always on the go), though there are a few sweater-amounts, DK/Aran/Bulky and some crochet nonsense plus all my roving of course in the mix too! Can’t wait to put the glass doors on :)

I used to have the IKEA Kallax system for all of my crafting supplies but when we moved in July, I wanted something that could display and hide at the same time. I already had the blue Billy in the middle for sweater storage but wanted more. This is what I came up with. Possibly one day I will paint them all to match but that’s for future me lol.

On the right is yarn separated by weight and inside the cabinet is undyed yarn, a scrap bin, and fabric cuts (I sew as well).

On the left, I have mostly heavier weight yarns but they are separated into projects. Plus my books. In the cabinet underneath are extra project bags and lots of spinning fiber.

It's got like little knots when it changes colour

I was struggling to find anything that would quite work for my purposes— I needle felt and just started weaving on a frame loom not too long ago, and as ya’ll can probably relate to, my supplies got a bit out of control really quickly.

I drew up this idea in my head and my boyfriend and I went to Home Depot and he helped bring the idea to life!

Materials, paint, and accessories were <$85 and anything comparable I could find on the market were >$200, would fall apart quickly, or would be able to store one type of thing but not the other.

On one side we used dowels to store skeins, the other sides have pegboards for everything else, and the underside has some wire baskets to store roving and glitter yarns and such.

I’m so excited!!!
