Yarn Stash Challenge

Last year I did a fabric stash challenge. This gear I didn’t do much quilting, but I did a lot of knitting, so a yarn stash challenge.

I set a goal to not buy any yarn in 2023, and I did not. I did, however, get some yarn as a birthday present.

+ 21.16 oz (3 skeins whirligig)
+ 3.5 oz (2 skeins laceweight)

Total yarn in: 51.12 ounces.

Pretty good if I do say so myself. I also made 3 projects using handspun yarn. I didn’t count those because then I’d have to count how much yarn I spun as yarn in and I didn’t want to do that. I may so a separate post detailing how much fiber in, fiber out (spun) and fiber really out (knitted from handspun).
