im a kitter and crocheter and i have piles on piles of yarn does anyone know how to make a yarn organizer for?
my yarn crochet needles and knitting needles so the yarn wont always get tangled up?
if you can help me thank you..
I’m not clear what the problem is. Are you saying you put all your yarn and hooks/needles into one tub or bag and they get tangled together? There are needle cases readily available at about any craft store to organize your needles into. You can store double point needles and crochet hooks in zippered pencil pouches.
You can also check your local craft store for products called “yarn bras” which are sort of expanding sleeves used to keep individual skeins from unwinding on their own. Here’s an example: http://www.stitchesmarket.com/xcart/customer/product.php?productid=1547
Or are you talking about things getting tangled because you are trying to work multiple colors in a single project and they’re twisting as you change colors? For that I suggest you look into techniques for catching floats without having to twist the skeins of yarn.
If you are just talking about how to store your yarn, I get large plastic tubs and sort my yarn by weight, putting all the sock yarn in one tub, all the worsted in another, and so on. The sides of the tubs are semi-translucent so I can see what is in each tub, even if it is at the bottom.

Be careful about storing natural fibers long term in air tight containers such as ziploc bags. The fibers need to be able to expand to their full dimensions and air out for long term storage. Short term storage is fine in ziplocs or for synthetic fibers.
