My stash, the unassigned yarn

This list is to keep me slightly accountable, and to make sure I know what's in my yarn box without tipping it all out and rooting through till I get to the bottom. Sock yarns first:

Virtual yarn stash / wish list yarn

This is the virtual stash of yarn I don't have, most of it I'm unlikely to get, but it's nice to look at and I wanted to keep track of it somewhere. I don't even know what I'd use it for, but at least this way it doesn't take up closet space. The one yarn on the list I'd love to have is Opal Bumblebee. Rowan yarns, while looking gorgeous, are way out of my price range.
