 If you know anyone who does any type of fiber craft, you know what their hobby really is, YARN HOARDING.    When we lived in the farm house, I had my own craft room full of goodies.  Sewing, stained glass, beads, paint, and so much more.   I could have filled the camper with the amount of crafting materials I owned.   It all went to a local church, except one thing.  The yarn.   I couldn't part with it.    Yep, I'm all about that fiber.   I like to pet it.  I like to squish it.  Not to mention if it has some type of flashiness to it.  The color combinations are endless and the fiber content varies.  What the yarn is made from will greatly impact how you care for your finished item, but that's a whole other conversation.  For now, we are talking about hoarding or yarn stashes.   More importantly, where do you keep yarn in an RV?   The answer is everywhere.   ...
