Pegboard!
WOOT!
About a week and a half ago, I went to Lowe's with my mom and sister to get materials for a pegboard after picking Jamie up from college for birthday weekend #2 (Everyone in my immediate family's birthdays are within 19 days of each other). I got a 2' x 4' pegboard (brown because they didn't have any white ones), some 1" x 2" x 6' pieces of wood, a pegboard container, wood screws, and drywall anchors and screws.
While at work this past Sunday, my dad put up my pegboard! YAY! Once I saw the pegboard, I put my little container on it and put some supplies in it. I bought some pegs today on Amazon (a 50-pack) and started winding up yarn with my Lacis yarn winder I bought this past summer but never used.
I'm surprised at much less space each skein now takes up compared to its factory-made form. It's really nice and prettier to look at. I imagine it will be easier to work with as well. I can't wait! I don't think all of my yarn will fit on the pegboard, so I will put some in a basket I suppose or buy an additional pegboard. I will probably opt for a basket though because I kind of don't want a second pegboard. There really isn't any room for it. Once I move out of my mom and dad's house, I plan on getting a craft room/office. There will definitely be an 8' x 4' pegboard in there for yarn storage.
I will take a picture of my yarn pegboard once some skeins are up.
