Great storage for yarn & more....

[diamond]

Check out this cool storage unit. It would be great for storing yarns especially those smaller skeins/balls. It has 6 storage compartments.

OMG! My daughter has the white one of those in her room for her stuffed animals. I never even thought of stuffing yarn in one, but you're absolutely right - it would work great!

 

As long as we're on the subject, Ikea also has this one which would work well, too. You could even put pattern books and hooks, etc. in this one. The color of this one is blue, but my friend's son has one that is transparent.

 

What a great idea, diamond!

I totally love that, thanks for the link! Those may be just what I'm looking for.

Those are cute. I have those lightweight shoe holders in plastic that I hung in my craft room closet and put the smaller skeins of yarn in it. To be honest, to me, shoes would be too heavy and would rip the plastic but the skeins fit nicely. I bought them at the dollar store, use the 12 pair one in the craft room and in my bedroom closet, used the 8 pair one for stockings and panty hose.

What a great idea!!! Woohoo! I'm moving back to a city that has an Ikea too!

For those of you who, like me, don't have an Ikea nearby (Ikea doesn't ship this item, it is in store only), Lillian Vernon sells these, too. And at a lower price!

WOW, thanx Donna. I was wondering how I was going to get some of these since there's no IKEA no where even close to me.

You're welcome Diamond! I stumbled upon those totally by chance. I've got spring cleaning fever. The whole house is torn apart and I'm trying to better organize my stuff. I was looking for various storage solutions and there were the mesh organizers!

[kariholtz]

OH MY! Thank you! I can see this for far more than just yarn! I'm thinking hunting/camping stuff (since it's not used all the time) and all David's civil war re-enacting gear.

Aren't most of those made from "mesh", couldnt they be very easily made, with like thread or something?

Go ahead, Tween! Let's see what you can do!

I have an awful lot of unused closet space (huge walk-in) and an awfully yarn cluttered everywhere else. My bf could never get mad that the yarn is everywhere, the kittens couldn't get into it, DS couldn't use it to do whatever unholy thing it is he does to my yarn. Hmmmm....I think I better get me some!

Joann's has mesh bins on sale thru Saturday. They're square and they fold up. Regular $4.98- on sale for $2.49. I bought 4 of them, hoping that they will be the answer to all my 'stash' problems!!! LOL

I'll be traveling through Atlanta later this summer; I could probably make a pit stop at IKEA if anyone really wants the hanging thing. That's really cool!

[battlemaiden]

Oooh, yay! There's an IKEA opening in my town "hopefully" by Christmas.

[firemanshunny]

I have 2 if anyone wants one. Just send me an email and I will send them out to you. If I get more than 2 emails than I will see if I can get more!! Ikea is like 5 minutes from my house!!

I just sent off my reqest for some to friends in NYC... I'm moving soon and it would be great to get rid of my "tower of yarn"... It takes up so much space! Thanks for posting it!
