Last Fall at her studio, I noticed that Martina used large lettuce/salad containers to hold her strips and I immediately thought this might be the solution I've been needing (my cloth bins were flopping all over the place and the resulting Pisas were quite precarious - and had tumbled more than once!). I figured I would start eating more salad....and hoped that before long I'd have enough. It wasn't quite that easy. I needed a lot of bins.
Fortuitously, the big snow storm just before Christmas brought me to $@##-*@^% (yes, that big box store I try to avoid at all costs...sorry world!) and while I was there I looked for some alternative storage bins. I quickly found - and decided to buy - a bunch of the shoe bins. Why? They are light weight, but with sturdy sides - and lids! I can easily stack them without worrying about the emptier ones getting smooshed. They were only $1.19 each (or thereabouts). I can see what colour is inside, so I can quickly find the bin I'm looking for without having to look inside 12 others first. And, they hold a reasonable amount of wool. So far, the only complaint I have is that I wish I'd bought more!
