What Your Yarn Stash Says About You – The Secret Language of the Stash Box

17/04/2025


Some people have wine cellars, others tool sheds – and we knitters? We have our yarn stash. And trust me: it's more than just balls of wool. It's a mirror of your crafting soul. 

🧠 What is a "stash"?

Simply put: your yarn treasure. Your hidden collection. The place where dreams live in skeins. Some call it "my little collection" – others, "controlled chaos". And they're all right! 


🤓 Which Stash-Type Are You?

1. The Minimalist
Just a few high-quality skeins, neatly organized and labeled. Projects are finished before new ones begin. You're disciplined. Probably meditate too. Hats off!

2. The Collector
"Just in case..." is your motto. Enough yarn for ten winters – and ideas for twenty. But hey, every skein has a story!

3. The Chaos Queen/King
Your stash is alive! It spreads from room to room, constantly evolving. You never find what you're looking for – but always find something better.

4. The Color Lover
Your stash is a rainbow. You're weak for any new color – whether you need it or not. Your projects are bold, bright, and bring joy!
