Close ups of the inside:

AND THE GRAND FINALE MY MALABRIGO 'cubby'
Missing is 5 skeins of Rios that I balled up to start a blanket. :)
Also I ordered a bunch of cascade 220 superwash for gifts and maybe JUST MAYBE some more Mal Rios snuck into my cart.

OMG Lady! Your stash is fantabulous! I wish I had the time to color code mine. I tired to separate mine by type, sock/lace, worsted, cotton, felting, large quantities, etc. Didn't quite work as well as I would like. The stash is currently hanging in my craft room. Which is mostly fabric right now. It's just not able to give the yarn justice.
Awww thanks. I only have beads (which are small) and yarn... WELL I have some art supplies but they're still in storage at my moms. I have to go get them.
I also got lucky in being able to rent the boyfriend's parents old house. They moved to Utah and couldn't sell it so I have room. Before it was all smooshed in a shelf in my closet and in a tub. Then there wasn't room for my shoes. That was sad.
omg your stash is huge. you win. Mine isn't even close, lol.

I love your stash. Mine doesn't even come close to that. And I love how colorful it is.
Way to go on that stash! Love the colors in your Wollmeise and Sundara basket. I have ONE skein of Sundara that is still marinating - waiting for the perfect project. What do you like to do with it?
I've made 1 pair if sundara socks. I'm about to start a sundara shawlette in one of my oranges. Mostly I pet it and just love how very pretty it is.
