Last year I finally got a place to store my yarn - a wardrobe! Well, I call it my woolrobe. Since the majority of my knitting and designing is for babies, the cubbie holes are filled with good quality baby acrylics. I do love knitting with natural yarns but find it safer to create garments in acrylic in case babies are allergic to wool, especially in the case of premature babies.
For toys I tend to use cheaper acrylics, which is really cost effective if your toy knit has a lot of colours! I normally do not buy yarn for toys (unless I'm making a gift for someone) - as a designer I get the yarn delivered to me, arranged by the editor of the magazine.
I also keep a selection of my favourite knitting books, some tools and buttons here too. The Scheepies yarn is on display because I just love looking at it! I am collecting ideas for how I'm going to use these mini balls of yarn for when I finally decide to use it.
