I'm a sucker for stuff like this, "flash your sock yarn stash"-- originated @ knittyboard. You know you wanna play too!! :)
Pic intensive!!
I originally guessed I had about 30 pr. worth of socks in yarn, but its more like... 75 pair. I am embarrassed to show yall this, but we're all friends, right? :)
Apologizes in advance for some not-so-clear photos, my little bumblebee was having too much fun trying to play with the yarn and kept bumping into me as he "rearranged" it over & over. There are better pics of each individual skein somewhere on this blog (they've all been taken before, I'm pretty sure.)
On with it then.
My sock yarn bin. It used to be just my yarn bin, but all non-sock stuff has been moved out. Granted, most of the stash is sock yarn... but 95L of socks is a lot.

Wow! You sock yarn stash is almost as big as my regular stash! ;) I'm jealous! It all looks so lovely.
ReplyDeleteI swear ... I saw the first few lines in this post and my heart actually skipped a beat. And then it skipped a few more as I scrolled along. Can I please come roll around at your house for a while?

ReplyDeleteYou make me feel less weird for having an equally large sock yarn stash...I think I'll flash mine sometime this week, too:)
ReplyDeleteOh the porn is killing me ... and you think I'm going to flash my pitiful lot after looking at yours? You put my stash to shame, you hussy knitter you!

I am way jealous of your stash. I seriously need to go on a stash-building adventure!!
ReplyDeleteWow...definitely sock pr0n
ReplyDeleteOmg, I am SO drooling!! And all such nice quality yarns, too!! Oooooh, so many pretty skeins...
ReplyDeleteI counted mine back in April. I can't remember now what I had but I think it was close to yours. I'm not sure I want to remember. hehe You have a wonderful sock yarn stash! I never tire of looking at people stashes, nope.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite that I have never seen is the Diakeito Fine. Pretty!
OMG!!!! this is serious my dear. I guess I'll have to do a count down to see how mis-informed I am about my sock yarn stash...
ReplyDeleteWait a minute - do you hear that? It's a drip, drip sound, like a dripping tap. That's my drool hitting the chair!
ReplyDeleteThat's one crazy stash! If my hubby ever complains to me about my yarn I'll quickly show him this! You've got some gorgeous yarns there, sister!

ReplyDeleteholy crap girl! That's a lot of incredibly lovely sock yarn in your stash. feeling the envy right now... can I come over and roll around in it a bit, or would that be weird. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow! Can I come over and roll around in it....!
ReplyDeleteLOL What a great stash you have! Now mine looks puny. Can't have that...guess I'll have to go out and buy more.
I have to say it makes me feel a wee bit better that you have more than me. It's kind of like not drinking alone :)
ReplyDeleteI want your stash...
ReplyDeleteThat sounds dirtier than anticipated....
I love all of the colours too!
OMG You are sooo lucky!
ReplyDeleteDoes your other stash even compare to this? WOW!
I think you just inspired me to finally order some of the sock yarn I've heard so much about, but can't get in shops here... That looks absolutely delicious!
ReplyDeleteNice stash!
ReplyDeleteWow, I just want to dive right into that bin! I remember your original stash flash. I still think I could build a whole wishlist from what you've got there. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWow that puts my stash to shame...
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm so jealous of your stash. Soooo jealous. I have a lot of catching up to do. :)
ReplyDeleteHoly Potatohead, Batman! That's some juicy yarn porn. Yum, yum!
ReplyDeleteIf your house is burglarized any time soon, the police can start their investigation with your blog-readers!
Oh my....I might have to go lie down! All that wonderful socky goodness in one place!
ReplyDeleteWow. That is so impressive I'm at a loss for words!
ReplyDeleteI do covet every last yard of it all!
I'm so envious!! You have a great stash!
ReplyDeleteNo, not crazy, just well stocked. I'd pull mine out for a photo shoot but the Husband is around this week and he has no idea. It's the ultimate hide in plain sight with the sock stash bin in the family room.
ReplyDeleteWow, some lovely yarns there! Nice pics too!
ReplyDeleteBTW, thanks for the preview on what to expect my stained glass tiny toes to look like! :)
Tastiness, tastiness.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's not bad. That's good! It's not like you're hoarding crystal meth. It's SOCK YARN. Wonderful, delicious sock yarn.
Holy crap that's a lot of sock yarn! It's all so pretty - it would make a lovely objet d'art - WOW!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I just want to roll around in it!
ReplyDeleteI just hitting the "page down" button & it keeps going and going! I love it!
ReplyDeleteDROOLS! WOW!! Gorgeous colours!! Flash well done!!
ReplyDeleteI had friends over last weekend and we sat in "my room" and out of the blue one asked "is there YARN in ALL those boxes?" I said: "technically no, because some only has washed fleece in it...". Some people just don't understand!
