At the beginning of last year I made a decision to track the yarn coming into my house against the yarn I used up. I do have quite a large yarn stash and I was curious to know whether I was using more than I was acquiring. I'm not going to say buying as I also receive yarn as gifts, I've been known to win yarn in giveaways and knitalongs too.
So at the end of the year I added together the amount of yarn which had come into the house and found that totalled 2590 grams. Goodness, I'd have never guessed it would amount to that. When I added up what I'd used it came to 1152 grams. That means there's an extra 1438 grams in the house to begin 2026 than there was when 2025 began. Ooops.
Guess what, I don't care, haha. Collecting yarn is a hobby in itself, all that beautiful hand dyed yarn, though I'm rather partial to commercial yarn too, there's plenty of that in my stash. I wasn't trying to use more than I acquired, I was just interested to see what the result would be. I think I'll do it again and see what the figures are this year.
You have some nice brands and colours there, I see loads of shades of green, a colour I love, it was a dangerous study to make, I'm glad you added the 'haha', it's lovely to fancy to knit something and check to find you have the perfect yarn to use. I am trying to use up my odd bits and balls, my next post is a start of a new project.
