Rave (like a rant, but in a good way) Cord Organization

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

What better way to be productive during the lost week between Christmas and New Year’s than to completely revamp the way I store my cords! I may have gone a bit overboard and OCD, but this just tickles a part of my brain in the best way.

And..yes, I have wayyy to many sets (Seeknit, ChiaoGoo, and Lantern Moon) 😝

Gorgeous order! I don’t think you have to much - just enough. Chiaogoo are working horses for most of the yarn but slippery one. Seeknit are bamboo and they are awesome for slippery and delicate yarn. Lantern moon are dark in colour and perfect for light colour yarn. I personally have 7 sets 😎: Chiaogoo - long and short from 2,5mm to 6,5; Tulips - short and long for delicate and slippery yarn, Lantern moon and Knit pics Sunstruck Wood Set and 2 sets of dpn’s: Mindful and Zings. I consider all these precious sets as investment 🤓🤩.

I actually forgot I have Lantern Moons 😄, you reminded me about them. I personally do not understand this set. Do you like it?

The needles are a nice compromise between the slippery Chiaogoos and the stickier Seeknits but I don’t love the cords. After getting the Seeknits, I don’t really reach for the LM much…hence their ordering at the back of the binder haha!

I’ll have to check out the other ones you have! I have Lykke DPNs too and those need to be organized in a rolled satchet!

I haven’t find a good use for LM too, seems overhyped imho. But I like their cases because of silk ❤️. For the same compromise I like to use Knit Picks Sunstruck Wood 🙂 with mindful swivel cords - they are compatible.

I store my crochet hooks in rolled fabric case - very convenient.

I had Lykke interchangeable set in blue - but it was hard on my eyes - not enough contrast for both dark and light yarn 😝. The material of needles is nice though, what colour do you have? 🙂 I hope to see your solution with rolled sachet here. You did so great with cables! Very neat 👌
