My ideal stash: would be smaller.

No more cheap acrylic.

No yarn for presents I felt compelled to make but then either didn't finish or even cast on.

I would have less lace weight and no bulky. Both are hard on my wrists.

No striped yarns. Turns out I don't much care for them. (yes, I'm odd.)

No bamboo or silky yarns.

As for what I WOULD have... Paler yarns that could show off stitch patterns. Colors that go together to try out colorwork. Breed specific yarns to get more experiences.

Thanks Jodie. It’s not always comfortable to share your journey. It’s easy to persuade yourself no one will be interested.
