I had been planning for the last 2 years to turn his bedroom into my knitting studio,, thereby getting my ever increasing stash out from under beds and closet shelves into a room all their own. I used some of his old bedroom furniture (a huge book case - computer table combination) to store all my books and overflowing wealth of knitting mags. My wool is now in wonderful baskets, a huge metal wine cooler holds the store of colourful "odd balls". I went to Target and bought storage bookshelfs and shoe holders that go together and can be added to - plus they were on sale, and look just like my lys. My husband made two coat racks to hang on the wall and display my hanks of very expensive hand-dyed yarns - even he felt it looked like a wonderful piece of modern art. I have my tv, my dvd player, and tivo to keep me warm while I still and knit on my new love seat surrounded by my world of knit. I retired from my school district this past summer and having this wonderful room all to myself is absolute heaven.

Not only could you use your extra sock yarn, but you could make an ornament with the leftover yarn from a gift and keep it as a reminder! Thanks! Charity - I LOVE that idea!

I'm with Sharon & the glass jars with lids, though. I don't really have yarn displayed, except what I'm currently working on, so that bugs & dust don't get into it. Thanks for all the great ideas!

For some reason, I'm the only one in my family who thinks this is a brilliant idea and will be so beautiful, but it's my tree, so I'm doing it anyway! :0) I’m planning on using all the mini balls of sock yarn I have left over as Christmas tree ornaments.

I love all of these ideas - and your displays are fab! - but with my yarn snipping/stealing/eating cats I think glass jars (with tight lids!) are the only display idea that would work for me. I have some of my yarn in a rather large hanging wall cabinet from Ikea that has glass fronts (from the kitchen department). I get to see the yarn and it is protected from my pilfering and plundering herd of felines! Zoe looks like she is thinking about snipping some yarn…

I have two of them under the sofa table. I have those baskets in spaces on the bookcase in my studio holding yarn. I use one to hold straights. And of course, there is the baby cradle full of yarn.

I got a 5-basket one at my Costco Home store this summer. An idea just cropped up too related to displaying yarn in glass things. I have one of those bowls from Illuminations (candle store) where you can put floating candles in the bowl but it has a hollow inside that I usually stuff silk flowers in. Yarn could go in there too.
