27/2/2018 0 Comments KonMari-ing: YarnsI've had a huge yarn collection for many years. I love collecting every variation of a colour and coming up with nice colour schemes. I find crochet....somewhat relaxing (counting stitches is a little bit of a drag). But... I don't do crochet nearly enough to justify the size of my collection. Oh, and I don't actually like crocheted garments??!! I only own and like 2 things I've crocheted: A chunky black hood (which I used in my Barriss Offee cosplay) and a black cat-ear beanie. The time has come to cull, ruthlessly. But first, an overview of the many, many yarns I own. Holding each one, evaluating my love for it, revealed something difficult: I didn't love most of them. Either they were too rough, or not a very nice colour, or they simply lacked the je ne sais quoi that I needed to keep it. So, I culled. All in all, it was four garbage bags worth of wool that I have culled. It felt good once they were out of the house. Now I have a big wooden chest sitting empty in my living room. Ooh, what will I use that for now?! And this is the keeper pile. I was surprised how much red I wanted to keep (I used to proudly say red was my favourite colour. These days it feels like a cliche for me, and I don't like it as much). I'm still not sure if I'm going to end up doing much crochet in the future, but if I do, I know at least it will be using wools I actually love.
How have you gone with konmari-ing your craft collections? Any items you were surprised did not spark joy? Until next time, Jess xx
