I’m mad about yarn! Their textures and colors are a pleasure for the senses. Sometimes I bought a skein of yarn just because I felt in love with it, without knowing what I was going to do with it.
Which is the problem? That these skeins are going to the closet’s end and they get forgotten… Sad, don’t you think?
Finally I found a solution! Low cost, easy to use and a beauty to your eyes. It is a DVD shelf! (this one from IKEA).
This shelf is above my working table, inside Tremendu’s room. Do you want to see how it looks like full of yarns? Here it is!! What do you think?
Everytime I see this colorful rainbow yarn, thousands of amigurumi characters dance into my head. Great, just what I want!
I’m thinking about getting another shelf in the front wall, this way I’ll be yarn surrounded and no more skeins are going to be forgotten at the closet’s end. 🙂
What about you? What is your yarn storage solution?
I like your solution for you. For me it is not usable, because I have cats and a dog with a lot of hair flying around. Your new way looks great.

Thanks Irene!
It sounds like you need a shelf with doors… or maybe you can hang curtains on it.
Yes the doors sound like a good idea. Thanks
this is simply genius! I’m planning on changing some forniture in my work/bedroom and now I’m sure I’ll leave some extra space for DVD/yarn shelves! they’re just perfect for this, great choice, and thank you for the tip!
I’m glad you like it!
I would love to see a post on your blog with some photos of your new yarn shelf 🙂
Thanks for your comment.
*drooling*.. love the colours..
I know! for me is a dream come true 😀
I think your solution is great! Yarn is so colorful and cheery! I feel I’ve become addicted to it, snatching up new colors every time I get to town. I stack mine in the window next to where I crochet, not only does it block the view of the snow (since I’m tired of seeing it!) but also it doubles as insulation!! Bonus! 🙂

You have beautiful views Laura! 😉
I can’t imagine a best solution for you! For sure your window warms your crochet room.
Thanks for sharing!!
