Taking inventory

 I still find myself collecting yarn and thinking that I have the perfect other yarn to pair with it for a new knit garment. But then where is it? I spend countless hours opening bins looking for that imagined yarn and not always finding it. Then I decided to drag out all the yarns to pair them up and find matches and re-store them in separate bins. It took most of the day, but was so worth it.
 I found unimagined combinations that work.  Silky Wool
DK
45% Wool, 35% Silk, 20% Nylon
and
Souk
by Cascade Yarns Aran: 55% Silk, 45% Wool
by AraucaniaAran 100% Merino
 and

Gina
by Plymouth Yarn Worsted: 100% Wool
 Rowan Merino DK 9  
and Malabrigo Rastita merino
 Noro Taiyo and Rowan Summer Tweed, Aran 70% Silk, 30% Cotton, a non wool combo. 

  Isabella
Aran
60% Wool, 30% Silk, 10% Rayon
and 
Kudo
by Plymouth. Aran: 55% Cotton, 40% Rayon, 5% Silk
by AraucaniaAran 100% Merino
and 
Brown Sheep Lanaloft 100% wool
 ...and then the unmatched wools from Malabrigo, which I fondled for several minutes.
