Yarn Organizers

I know quite a few ways of organizing the yarn stach, but very few that works. Last week I got a brilliant idea. I did some cleaning in my stash of work paper (don't ask me why I have them at home). And seriously, how many versions of submitted manuscripts and funding application do I need? Probably only the creative and the last version that hopefully actually is the good one. That left me with empty paper pile organizers. Want to know something? I found they are great for mercenized cotton skeins and other compact yarns. I loaded all the empty boxes, closed the lid and put them in the bookshelf. I will mark the backs with its content eventuelly (then they wont say "SRH, cytokines and age"), when I get tired enough of opening box after box to find the yarn I am looking for. That is the more hands-on part of organizing the yarn.

To keep track of the volume and content of the entire yarn stash, I have listed myself for an invitation from Ravelry. Started a word-document with gauge and needle size before, but it wasn't quite as much fun...
