Introduction

Hey guys, Kalila here, or call me Callie. Today's video is going to be a little vlog where I take you along on a sudden decision my sisters and I made. We realized we have an abundance of yarn that we haven't been using, so we decided to clear it out and give it away. Join us as we embark on this unexpected yarn adventure!

Starting the Day with a Plan

As I woke up that morning, little did I know that a spontaneous vlog opportunity awaited me. I've always enjoyed watching vlogs, especially those related to my hobbies like knitting. I thought, why not try making a vlog about crocheting? Little did I know, this vlog would be quite different, as we were about to start clearing out our yarn stash.

A Surprise Vlog Opportunity

So, after breakfast and a cup of tea to energize myself, I grabbed my camera and started filming. I introduced my younger sister, who had come up with the idea to organize and sell the yarn. We realized that in addition to giveaways, we could also create bundles to sell the yarn, giving others the opportunity to use it.

Clearing Out the Yarn Stash

Our first task was to gather up all the yarn that we had accumulated over the years. To our surprise, there were so many unopened packages and unused skeins. It was overwhelming to see how much yarn we had collected without even realizing it.

4.1 Unopened Yarn Packages

Among the yarn stash, we found several unopened packages. It was astonishing to think that we had purchased these yarns with the intention of using them, but for some reason, they had been forgotten and left untouched. This was a clear indication that it was time to let go and find new owners for these unopened treasures.

4.2 Scrap Yarn Collection

As we dug deeper into the stash, we discovered boxes and bags filled with scrap yarn. These were remnants from various projects and leftovers from previous creations. While some scrap yarn had potential for future use, we decided to part ways with the majority of it. After all, there is only so much one can do with scraps.

4.3 Yarn Bundles and Giveaways

The idea of creating yarn bundles for giveaways and selling them in our online shop dawned upon us. We knew that there were many crafters out there who would appreciate the opportunity to have a variety of yarn at their disposal. By bundling the yarn into cohesive sets, we could offer a range of options to suit different preferences and projects.

Organizing and Winding Yarn

With the aim of preparing the yarn for giveaways and sale, our next step was to organize and wind the yarn. As one sister organized the untouched yarn, I took charge of winding up the yarn cakes.

5.1 Winding Techniques

Winding yarn into cakes not only makes it easier to manage but also adds a touch of beauty to the yarn itself. Using a yarn winder, I carefully wound up each skein, creating neatly formed cakes ready for their new owners. The process was satisfying and somehow therapeutic, allowing us to experience the yarn in a different light.

5.2 Caking Up Yarn

After hours of winding, we had created numerous yarn cakes. Some were already pre-packaged, while others were freshly wound by me. The sight of all those colorful cakes gave us a sense of accomplishment. It was a testament to the progress we had made and a reminder of the potential these yarns held.

Sorting and Categorizing Yarn

To stay organized and make the yarn more accessible, we sorted and categorized it according to different types and brands. This allowed us to create a streamlined inventory and made it easier for customers to browse and choose the yarn they wanted.

6.1 Merino Wool and Baby Snuggles

One of the yarn categories we tackled was the merino wool collection. We carefully organized and labeled the different weights and colors, ensuring that each bundle would contain a variety of options for knitters and crocheters to enjoy. Additionally, we organized the baby snuggles yarn, as they were perfect for creating soft and cozy items for little ones.

6.2 Bernat Blanket Yarn

Next on our list was the beloved Bernat blanket yarn. Known for its plush texture and versatility, we were surprised to find how much we had collected over time. This prompted us to create bundles specifically for the Bernat blanket yarn enthusiasts. Whether it's for baby blankets or cozy home decor, these bundles would be a delight for any crafter.

6.3 Other Yarn Brands

Alongside the popular brands, we discovered a stash of random no-brand yarn. While we couldn't pinpoint their origins, we organized them based on their types and colors. This gave us the opportunity to offer unique assortments to those who enjoy experimenting with different brands and materials.

6.4 Paint Box Yarn Collection

One of our favorite brands, the Paint Box yarn collection, also found its place in our organization process. With its vast array of colors and high-quality fibers, we knew that these yarns deserved a special spot in our inventory. By carefully arranging them, we created bundles that showcased the beauty and versatility of the Paint Box collection.

Unused Yarns and Rediscovery

As we continued organizing and categorizing the yarn, we realized how much of it had remained untouched for months, even years. Our craft journey had taken us to explore different fibers like cotton, alpaca, and mohair, leaving behind the acrylic yarn that had once been our staple.

7.1 Impeccable Yarn Collection

Among the unused yarns, we found an abundance of Impeccable yarn. It was fascinating to see just how much we had amassed over time. We couldn't help but wonder why we had collected so much and not put it to good use. It became clear that it was time to let go and find new homes for these impeccable yarns.

7.2 Red Heart Yarns

Another brand that dominated our unused yarn collection was Red Heart. These acrylic yarns had served us well in the past, but we had moved on to exploring different textures and fibers. While it was bittersweet to part ways with these familiar yarns, we knew that someone else would appreciate their versatility and affordability.

The Joy of Progress

As the day went on, we found ourselves filled with a sense of accomplishment. The process of clearing out our yarn stash brought newfound clarity and organization to our creative spaces. It was refreshing to reclaim the space and make room for new yarn that aligned with our evolving preferences.

Reclaiming Space and Clearing Out

By the end of the day, we finally cleared out our rooms of the excess yarn. Our rooms, once overflowing with skeins and project remnants, now felt spacious and ready for new creative endeavors. We packed up the remaining yarn that we had organized and prepared to share it with others who would appreciate and use it.

Selling and Sharing the Yarn

With the goal of finding new homes for our unused yarn, we decided to sell it through our online shop. We curated bundles that offered a mix of colors, textures, and brands, catering to various crafting preferences. Bundling the yarn not only made it more accessible but also allowed us to offer greater value to customers.

10.1 Options for Buying Yarn Bundles

If you're interested in buying the yarn, we have different options available. We offer bundles that consist of multiple cakes, allowing you to have a variety of colors and fibers to work with. These bundles are perfect for both experienced crafters and beginners looking to expand their collection.

10.2 Brand New and Unused Yarns

In addition to the cake yarn bundles, we also provide the option of purchasing brand new and unused yarns. These skeins offer the opportunity to get your hands on high-quality yarn that has never been touched. Whether you prefer acrylic, cotton, or specialty fibers, our selection provides something for everyone.

Conclusion

As we wrapped up our yarn clearing adventure, we couldn't help but feel a sense of fulfillment. The process of organizing, winding, and categorizing the yarn allowed us to rediscover our passion for creating. Furthermore, the act of selling and sharing our unused yarn brings joy to us as we see others find value and inspiration in the yarn that once sat neglected.
