I tried a yarn stash down for a year, here’s what actually happened

At the start of 2025, I committed to a yarn stash down and now it’s time for the final check-in. I weighed all of my yarn to see how much I actually used over the year, and the results surprised me. In this video, I’m sharing the numbers, what worked, what didn’t, and how this experience is shaping my making going forward.

I recognize and respect them as nations in this territory, as well as their historic connection to the lands and waters around us since time immemorial. #knitting #yarntube #yarnstash #crochet
