The Fabric Organization Answers

[hrj]

New post, so I can answer everyone at once.

It's good to see that the plurality currently agrees with my decision: organize by color. (The problem with organizing by amount is that I'd need to keep shifting things around until I was down to the cabbage.) Organizing by fiber type goes without saying -- I have separate sets of bins for wool, silk, linen, fur, and other.

And that last clicky button? The answer is "No."

I totally fell for it!

I always organize by content, then color, then size, then projects planned or imagined.

I never would have guessed..... yeah, right!

Aw, darn!

That's more-or-less how we organize ours: wool by color families (blue; red; grey; black; earth tones); linen by colored vs. white/undyed; silk qua silk (only one bin's worth); Velvets and Brocades of Dubious Origins :-)

I didn't think you would, but given that I currently have less fabric than I thought I had, it was worth a click. Oh well, I'm optimistic that when the shipping company sees my e-mail someone will say "Oh, is that where that bag was supposed to go?" and they will send it straight here.
