How many skiens do you have?

[laurastar0962]

I read somewhere that someone counted over 300 skiens of yarn in thier collection, so it got me to counting...........I stoppped at 1000:eek Foolish asd I am I had my boyfriend help me count. So now I want to know, is there anyone out there like me? how many skiens of yarn do you have?

[snugsmontreal]

at last count i have 277... and that is with my 4 month no yarn buying whammy from DH

[birdlady1]

I have at least 1,000 as well. But I keep buying! Stop me, please!

[Lesalicious]

Well had to get off and go count now back to say I have 313 wow didn't know until now:) my fabric collect is way bigger I even noticed that never until now

[Charm]

i have about 12 full, 4 partial and a ziploack baggy with scrap balls:lol

[losingmymind2]

I don't think I can count that high. Or find all of them at once. There are the ones in the living room, den closet, attic, garage, back porch, my room, the van, my house in NC, the barn in NC, shed in NC, camper in NC...you get the picture, Not only do I have an addiction, it spans the Mid-Atlantic coastline!

Gosh, I thought I had an ok stash... 15 full skeins and several partial ones and it only took me 2 minutes to count! I wish I could afford a bigger stash... :dreaming

[wowyshmowy]

My stash is over 35 years old.

I am so THANKFUL that I met a neighbor who wanted to learn how to crochet.

Now I am sharing my stash with her.

She learned FAST and is doing FANTASTIC work.

I don't think we can live long enough to use it all up.

[Natasha]

As of today, 70...about 20 of those are sock yarn.

[karin4christ]

I thought we had a smiley face that drooled. But I couldn't find it. 1,000 skeins of yarn!!!! If I have trouble falling to sleep tonight I'm going to think about that. I wish I could come to your houses and look (and of course touch) your yarn. My goal is to use up my yarn stash and I am getting there. When I finally use it all up, I am going to go on a major stash enhancement spree.

[lhasaapsolady]

Way too many probably, you can check out my blog page for just 1 picture of what I have. I would be all day counting.

[Pumpkinmouse]

I think a zillion at last count...... and thats not counting the ones in my mind that I want :rofl

[anjelle]

Well, I'm not at home to count 'em just now. But only one file-size drawer full. Maybe 20-ish? And I'm about to go buy a bunch of yarn to start quilt-inspired afghan.

[Tiga]

Oh.My.Gawd.

 

That is waaaay too much yarn!

 

I have maybe, and this is with the 4 ziploc big bags full that were donated for the kid's 'ghans (some of which has been turned into squares), maybe 100 skeins, if that.

 

1000 skeins? I can't even imagine.

 

Every skein I have has a project attached to it - I know exactly what I'm going to make with it, once I get around to it OR I've made something with it and now its scrap and I'm using it for other stuff (like ami's).

I'm not at home to count but I would guess at about 70 skiens which includes my balls of thread. In this past couple of weeks, I bought about 15 skiens for projects that I am going to work on in the near future (or should I saw, when I get enough free time to work on them).

[Kelle]

I don't know how many skeins there are, but I've got eleven (11) 66-quart totes, a smaller tote, one dresser drawer full, and about 3 huge Joann-sized bags full of yarn...! No wonder my friends call it Kelle's Yarn Store! hehehe...

[Riohnna]

Can I see your stash, wowyshmowy....pretty please??? ( )

[amhmsh]

I probably have close to 100:yarn. Now thread is a different story......... .

[crochetluvknot]

i dont think i even want to try to count what i have gee i know its well over 500 but i dont think i want to know how many are back there

[orangetulipgarden]

I just gave away my old stuff and didn't think I'd be back to crocheting, but here I am, and in the past two weeks I've accumulated 7 pounders and about 35 super saver skeins. I can't seem to find my yarn from a long lost afghan I started years ago and know I didn't throw out. That would add about 10 more.

[riscookie]

Only approxamately 400, plus odds and ends.... And my Mom thought I had too much yarn, hah!

[mva5493]

I have not counted mine, but I would guess somewhere in the 100-200 range. I have been buying yarn myself for around 17 years, but in addition to that have been giving lots over the years.

[wammytammy]

Count my yarn? I will do that as I sort it by color.

Kathy,

 

You have got me thinking.

 

my DH cleared out a chest of drawers for me to put my yarn in over the Christmas holiday and was APPALLED that all my yarn would not fit in the chest of drawers. He even had the nerve to suggest that perhaps I had too much yarn! Of course, we all know there is no such thing.

 

Now that I've read your post, I'm thinking - we have a houseboat, a backyard shed, no wait we have 2 of those, a garage (2 1/2 car garage that all his tools fill up I might mention), an equipment shed with overhead storage, a vehicle we are not using, and some farm storage buildings as well. hhhhmmmm- I see now that I could have a lot MORE yarn if I just spread it around a little bit!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention!!!

[yarndiva]

I am estimating about 600 cones of yarn/thread stuffed in my room. Mostly what I have are cotton thread cones, barely anything thicker than that. But still, that's a lot!! :pig

 

to the ones who have over 1000 skeins!!
