5 yarn storage ideas for small spaces by anna on jun 17, 2015 let's face it, many of us are living in micro apartments where every square micro-inch of real estate is meticulously planned and double-booked.. Good idea for yarn, but i don�t have much wall space. right now i have those huge blue ziploc storage bags holding my yarn. i have my fabric in huge blue rubbermaid containers, all labelled according to color, of course.
