Last month I gathered all my yarns into big (really really big) clear tubs. I won't show you a photo of the multiple tubs of acrylic. I had a long association with acrylic. There is just a huge amount left. Someone explain to me why I can't just let it go to a new home? Why am I hanging on to yarn I will probably never use?
Anyway. Back off the bunny trail. I gathered into one smaller clear tub the good stuff. Alpaca, Mohair, Merino. Just dumped into this tub and unsorted, it was a pretty but tangled mess. I had to organize. I had to prove that I needed to purchase more sock yarn.
I ended up finding enough sock yarn to fill three 2 gallon ziplock bags.
And three shawl kits. And two sets of alpaca sports weight. And so much more. I suppose I won't be shopping for sock yarn any time soon.
I did spend several hours sorting through soft, beautiful squishy yarn. So much better than any chemical high. I finally narrowed my fondling to one skein of cashmere yarn in a deep olive green. It doesn't photo well but this is about to jump onto my dpn's.

Oh, I hate to tell you this, but your stash is imbalanced. You need more sock yarn to counteract all that acrylic. At LEAST enough to fill a tub. I suggest you get over to The Loopy Ewe right away.
The green cashmere is pretty, though.
Thank you for informing me about the imbalance. I will go repair it immediately. Let's see. That is about four large tubs of acrylic I need to balance. Oh this is going to be soooo much fun. (grin)
