Today I'm bringing you the biggest and most inspirational list of yarn storage ideas!!

I searched high and low to bring you some of my favorite ideas when it comes to displaying (or even hiding) your treasured yarn. This list was also good for me personally, because I currently have just about the WORST storage going on for my yarn. It is literally all thrown in a huge tupperware bucket in my spare bedroom closet (and no, it's not nicely tossed in there) I'm convinced its all starting to knot itself together into one big yarn ball. Ah!! haha

I just look at it every time I'm ready to start a new project and think... that is way too big of a project for me to tackle right now. It happens every time. So one of these ideas listed here is gonna have to be implemented in my life soon. I can't decide which one is my favorite though! With our current situation-- renting a duplex, I can't really have any fancy displays, because we don't have much room. So it'd probably have to be something I can tuck away somewhere. But whenever we do own our first house it'd be nice to build (or refurbish) a nice display.

Anyways, enough about my yarn woes. Here's the awesome list! The links to the tutorials or inspiration photos are below the pictures. Just click the word "here".

P.S. Most of these have tutorials and plans on how to make the unit of storage, which is a total plus! And great if you're on a budget!!

Hello and welcome to the very first installment of the "Farmhouse Inspired" series! Today I've got a super cute and dainty washcloth pattern that's got all the pretty farmhouse-vibes. It is most definitely beginner-friendly. As all you need to know are the basics- how to chain and single crochet. That's it!

And doesn't it look so cute propped up on that vintage scale? Which by the way I scored that scale at a flea market for only 5 bucks!! I love flea markets.

This washcloth features the granite (or moss) stitch. Which is basically a pattern of single crochet and chains. It's super simple! And it worked up really quickly for me. Which is obviously a plus.

For this pattern I used the yarn I Love This Cotton! in Ivory. I found this yarn to be a bit thinner than other yarns it's weight. So take that into consideration, as it may affect the size of your washcloth if you use a different yarn. The good thing about this yarn is, I used just about exactly one little skein of it to complete this project!

What you'll need:
I Love This Cotton! in Ivory (or other cotton worsted weight yarn)
Size 5mm H Hook

Dimensions:
Approximately 9.25 x 9 inches

Gauge:
10 sc plus one ch in between each sc by 20 rows equals a four-inch square

Abbreviations:
ch=chain, st(s)=stitch(es), sc=single crochet, sp=space, sk=skip, sl=slip

Notes:
Like I mentioned above, the yarn I used is a bit thinner than other worsted weight yarns. Take that into consideration and check gauge if necessary.

Pattern:
ch 43
1) in 3rd ch from hook (the chains you skip will count as a ch 1 sp) sc, [ch 1, sk one ch, sc] across (21 total sc)
2-41) ch 2 (counts as ch 1 sp), turn [sc in ch 1 sp, ch 1] repeat [] 20 times, then sc in the last ch 1 sp

Edging:
working around the edge of the washcloth, beginning with the left side- [ch 4, sk 2 rows and sl st into edge of the next row] repeat this around the entire perimeter, except when working on the top and bottom of the washcloth you will be working into stitches rather than rows (there will be 14 "ch 4"'s on each side of the washcloth)

After the edging is complete, weave in ends and you're done!
