[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

[Mikki Compton]

I have several tubs that my yarn is Separ into. I have two tubs of acrylic
yarn one with warm colors like red orange and yellow and one with cool
colors like blue greens grays. I have two tubs with bulk yarn separated
again by warm colors and cool colors. The last two tubs I have separated
into variegated yarn, and, other specialty type yarn like wool, cotton or
natural fibers. I then have two tubs with beating materials. One is for
plastic beads, and they are separated by color and size. The other is for
regular type beads and they are separated some by using the little plastic
trays with  With the plastic square, and they have novelty beads, would be,
natural beads, pearl, beads, and findings. I then have a cabinet with
shoeboxes, and I have several shoeboxes for different things like yarn,
tools, painting, supplies, supplies, pipe, cleaners, pom-poms, will you get
the picture. I have been working on this project all last year and still am
fine-tuning my organization.
