Of course us yarn lovers need places to store our yarn, because you can never have too much, right? So of course a yarn basket is a must. Now you can make your own storage baskets made out of yarn (YAY!) I used Bernat Softee Chunky for my storage basket and this yarn is perfect for this project because it cooperates very well. I have never been disappointed with this yarn when working with a project. This pattern uses simple stitches and works up super quick, so you will be able to organize your yarn quickly and in easy peasy manner!
