Stashers, be proud. Get out your stash, admire it, and get ready to enjoy every last scrap of it.

This issue of Spin-Off encourages you to cultivate your stash like a gardener cultivates a plot of vegetables: by encouraging it to grow where needed, pruning carefully, and savoring the fruits of your labor. Celebrate your stash!

Is your stash a riot of color, full of mixed painted braids? You can ply it, draft it, or combine it with other colors to make beautiful yarns. Do you have small quantities of goodies? Spin them for a precious afghan or work them up into a sampler afghan. Bursting with sweater quantities? If you’re intimidated, start by sampling a small bit to discover what the fiber wants to be before diving in headfirst.

Projects include:

• Garter and Fan Scarf by Amelia Garripoli
• By The Ounce Afghan by Melanie Smith
• Slouchy Box Hat by John Mullarkey
• Stash Buster Afghan by Marilyn Wright
