Different Storage Option

Well, i decided that the cedar chest just is not going to work for me.  But, in the meantime, I have received a dresser which I am now able to use to store my clothing in my bedroom, instead of in the spare room.  Therefore, the yarn can now live in the dresser and I can sort it in some sort of method.  Now, I have to decide on a good method to store it.   Now I can use the cedar cabinet for its proper purpose, to store quilts and blankets.  :)

Not sure about this Yarn Storage Option

Dad called me today to say he had claimed the cedar chest from my grandma's home (it was sold), and he was bringing it to me after work.  I immediately imagined it as a place for my yarn to live-in instead of in various boxes. 

Cedar chest, the room isn't truly that yellow though

Once I got the chest in place, I went to put yarn in it and immediately decided this plan would not work.

It is just one large box, so the yarn would have to live on top of itself to get it all in there.  As a result, it would be impossible to sort it or to dig in and get the exact ball you want.  So I think the filing cabinet may still be the solution.
