My stash!
Darcy challenged me to take my personal stash out of all the bags and boxes and expose it to the world. I take it this is about whole hanks/ balls of yarn which supposed to knit into an item and not about leftover/ scrap yarn (although it will be fun to wind that into little balls and show it as well... something for later).
I took it out and here it is
I've a lot of Patons Sahara Cotton I found in our local charity shop. 10 balls of salmon, 4 balls white... not an idea what to knit with it yet. A bunch of dish clothes? Also pretty much hemp yarn, 10 balls in different colours and still no ideas what to do with it.
The organic O-Wool (merino) (on the left) was never meant to be in my personal stash though, but there is so much of a meadow in it, I dare not to sell that to my customers.
Edit: in the meantime I received an email from O-Wool about this merino. Let's make it clear this problem with the yarn no longer exists and I hope this post won't keep anyone away from the lovely Organic Merino of O-Wool. Please have also a look at this post for a detailed explanation of the veggie matter in the wool.
Any ideas what to do with 8 hanks grassy merino? 100 grams each...
And of course, as should be, there is some yarn here that I'll never knit into anything.
A ball of rare sock yarn. I don't like the split threads. Of the Wensleydale's there's 2 balls, I don't like the wool itself. The Opal frog was in real not the colour I'd expected (on the website I bought it from, it showed up purple), but now I've seen some pictures of this colourway knitted up, I must say I don't like it. And then there is the organic merino. I fear it will also sit in the box for ages.
Any takers?
So, who is next to expose her stash?

Ik vind je hoop nog meevallen, niet dat ik meer persoonlijke stash heb, maar ik had van jou precies meer verwacht :P
Wel leuk om dat alles op een rijtje te zien liggen he :D
Ik volg pas als we verhuisd zijn ;-)
Momenteel zit alles dat niet voor de winkel is (buiten een paar bolletjes natuurlijk, ik moet nog IETS hebben ook he) al in dozen, dus ik zal wel eens foto's trekken als alles netjes in het nieuwe huis ligt!
Op 1 april is het internationaal flash your stash day. Ik heb daar eens bijna aan meegedaan:

Maar inmiddels ziet mijn stash er wel weer anders uit.
Ik zal vrijdag eens fotograferen, voor de grap. Ik heb ook wel teen en tander dat weg mag...
manlief zocht vandaag een pamperdoos, euh blijkt dat àlle pamperdozen ondertussen gevuld zijn met... jaja, wol in alle soorten en kleuren, en tot zijn grote spijt blijf ik kopen...
Ik zal toch een alles op een rijtje moeten zetten en hem eens helemaal inladen op ravely
Ik denk dat die van mij 10x meer is en dat is denk ik dan nog aan de zuinige kant............
Ik ga m niet fotograferen tenzij in de dozen waar het nu inzit want ik krijg het nooit meer terug erin!!
En geloof me ook ik kan het nog steeds niet laten om wol te kopen want net die ene .... ja die heb je niet he.....haha
misschien ga ik ook eens fotograveren, wel een klusje!
