I began by cutting foam core into 4 x 9 inch cards. I use this to wrap my yarn on. I cut a tab on each end of the foam core. On one end I start the yarn, I tape this in place with some masking tape. I then continue to wrap the skein of yarn onto the foam core. When the skein is gone I put the end of the yarn in the tab on the opposite end of the foam core.

I label the yarn with the color name. These are the labels I use: RED, BLUE, YELLOW, GREEN, PURPLE, ORANGE, BLACK, WHITE, RAINBOW, TEXTURE. I then place the foam core into a plastic dish pan. I label each dish pan with the color of the yarn that will be found in that container.

Each bin contains tints and shades of that color. So in the RED bin you would also find your pinks, BLACK bin you would find your grays, and so forth.
