Hello! I'd like to share a neat trick I've come up with for looking after my yarn bands. It's simple: when I start a ball or skein I snip off a 10-15cm strand and either sticky tape or staple it to the ball band. That's it!
I then store them together in a tin so if I need to order more of any of the colours I have all the info I need, including the dye lot numbers, which is very useful! (Edit: I've written a blog post all about dye lots, if you'd like to know more about them you can read it here.)
It's also an easy way to begin building up a bank of colour samples for when you need some inspiration for a project.
What do you think? Is this something you do already? Have you got a different way of doing things?
Leave me a comment, I'd love to know your thoughts on this.
Until next time, happy crocheting,
Marta xx
