Yes! having yarn out on shelves is a powerful trigger for creativity! It gives us a chance to see the relationships between colors and textures. That is so inspiring! I have a bunch of the 'boy-yoy-yoing' laundry hampers too. They work well for fabric storage, as well as yarn. I'm glad that bags that I made for you are part of your studio, as are ones I have from you! :o) It's lovely to have symbols of friendship around us...... Hi Terri

(McCalls ect) in my twentys I worked for a fabric store for six years and they sold this type of box. now (just a few years later HaHa) I cant find them at any fabric store, or oline at these stores. Would I be able to access your fabric store by internet and purchas these boxes?? they look like just what I have been looking for Thanks for your great postings Noreen, I spied the black and white boxes. are they cardboard? would they hold sewing patterns?

Well - I would need a lot more shelves to put it all out..... So I use the collapsible zip bags that are for laundry. Great idea (the collapsible part) except that they are always full!! LOL!! I use canvas bags for current projects that are portable and always have a few of those around. Then I also am very lucky to have some of Noreen's wonderful bags - all full!
