Knitting and crocheting is easier and more enjoyable when your supplies are accessible

and organized. Try keeping a notebook of information on the yarn in your stash, including

brand, color name or number, weight, care instructions, and amount that you have left.

Update the list regularly so you always know what you have on hand. Also, keep your

needles and hooks organized by size so they are easy to access for each project.
