Do you ever buy yarn for a project and then forget what project you bought it for? Or perhaps see a pattern you love at the yarn store but don’t remember what you have at home so you end up buying more yarn?! Yeah, me too!!
So I thought I would share this handy Yarn Inventory and Project Planner Printable I created to help keep my stash organized (… at least on paper!).
Yarn Inventory and Project Planner Printable
So now whether I buy yarn with a specific project in mind or am just buying it because I love it, I make sure to log it here so I can quickly and easily see what I have or whether I have enough for when a new pattern calls to me.
What about you? Do you have any tips for keeping your stash organized?
This is an excellent way to help keep yarn and yarn stash organized. Thank you for this really excellent print our. I will add where I purchased the yarn
I will be able to order more if needed.
So glad you found it helpful!
I would also add —hook size and ply of yarn also date started and date finished —the dates would be for how long a project took. So when you need a project done–you have an idea on how long it will take. So for instance you got a request to make something that they wanted with in a week for a birthday, you can look how long each project took and get a list of things that can be done within that time frame. let them select what they would like. I also have started to take pictures of items and have a binder with pictures so they can see my work
Fabulous idea! I’m old school: I love paper lists, so this is perfect for me! I can keep it in my pattern binder and always know what’s going on. 😀
Me too … nothing like paper and pen to keep me organized 🙂
Love free printables! Thanks!!
So glad you like them 🙂
Thanks for the idea! I keep my planned project yarn in small bins. If the pattern came from the internet, I place the pattern in the bin with the yarn. If it came from a magazine, I write the name, date, and page number on a paper that goes in the bin. Odds and ends that will be scarves, hats, motifs, etc. go in a bigger bin.
Those are great ideas too! Thanks for sharing 🙂
This is a good idea but I would lose that paper after a day.
Lol! Yes, I guess that wouldn’t be much of a help then 🙁
Love this idea!!!! I would also add a column for the color name of the yarn and/or a place to tape a tiny sample of the yarn.
Yes, good idea!
Printing–now hopefully it helps me get a little bit more organized!!!!
Hope it helps, Nancy!
I agree that it would be good to put on paper so I would print this off and stick it in my purse. Because I dont carry electronics when I go shopping. Still love pen and paper.
What a great idea!! I have a TON of yarn and this would be a great way for me to see what I already have stashed away!
What awonderful idea! I’m with Kate, their are tons of digital ways to do this same thing, but good old paper is whati love. I mean NOBODY thinks to just-use-paper instead of downloading something from the internet anymore! 🙁
Great way to stay organized!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you for sharing your idea 🙂 I know there are lots of digital ways to keep track of what yarn you have, but I’m much more comfortable with paper and pen.
Thanks for this idea!
I think this is a pretty nice idea. Thank you for sharing it with us. 🙂
I find Ravelry’s stash tools to be extremely useful, and with my smartphone I can check what I have and dont have at a moment’s notice. I would definitely lose a piece of paper!
