Courtesy of Elizabeth Sheetz: 2 liter bottles with the bottoms cut off, fold tape over the cut edges so it won't snag the yarn, tape the bottles together and label each one

Courtesy of Elizabeth Sheetz: My bobbin setup, it's rolled up balls of yarn on the tangled edge of disaster haphazardly tossed into a box

Courtesy of Lisa Stagner Groberg: I like my box then I just can put my WIP and pattern in it when I'm finished for the day!:)

Courtesy of Catherine Theriault: This is my "set up" I use bobbins to manage the color change but I cut and tie. It makes it easier for me to store as well. I can pick up my bag and WIP and bring it anywhere's I go. When the bobbins run out that is when I take out the big bag with the rest of the yarn that are in separate big baggies marked from 0 through 7. :)

Courtesy of Deborah Martin: I bought this Craft cart and what an AWESOME investment it was. It works for me and if I get into a piece that calls for extensive colors, I label on each side of the holes of drawers, numbers to correspond with piece.
