Learn the Best Yarn Methods!

What's your favorite yarn method?

I have a confession to make: I'm a multi-crafter when it comes to fiber arts.

I don't just have a stash for knitting and crochet, I also have a stash for weaving.

In fact, I have bags of wool, buffalo, and llama fiber sitting in my living room and waiting to be spun.

You might not have a spinning wheel and loom sitting in your living room with the crochet hooks, knitting needles, and projects in progress, but if you've discovered this website, I know something about you.

I'm guessing you have a stash of yarn and you're wondering...

What to do with it all?
