Found Items as Notions: Swatch Jar


After chasing little precocious balls of yarn through my stash, my annoyance was placated when I discovered that I could throw all of those little balls in a vase that was just lurking around taking up space. They are visible and available for quick stitch swatches or to work into "odd ball" projects. Any large jar, vase, or box will do. A colored vase or jar would have some artistic appeal. By setting the jar out in the open, I find I am actually using the little balls up and feel I am making better use of my stash. The occasional glance also gives me that "oooh, look at all the pretty colors" effect. You can beat that! Cheaper than browsing the LYS!
