Say Goodbye to Your Yarn Stash Woes -- Forever

Every knitter knows the innate joy of purchasing yarn, and many also know the stress and shame that comes with an out-of-control stash. No longer! Let bestselling author, designer and educator Marie Greene change your outlook on buying, organizing and using your yarn for good. With this tried-and-true guide, you'll rediscover the joy in your stash--no yarn diets necessary!--as you learn to find inspiration in the yarn you already have, shop for skeins you'll actually use and organize it all for maximum creativity.
