my yarn yard stash!!

In preparation for the Clamshell Wrap, a photo of my entire Yarn Yard stash. This is a good two years worth of purchases and Club yarns, which i had to stop last year with much regret :o(
The plan is to knit one of these, using only YY sock yarn, i had wanted to just use Club yarns but i think i will have to open it out to the stash in order to get the best combination of colours. I want it to be colourful, but i also want it to remain quite neutral so that i'm not limited as to when i can wear it ;o)

The following posts will chart my progress over the past two weeks of picking out combinations and knitting up the swatches. I currently have 15 swatches and am now working on picking out at least 5 that will work together - the combinations that i chose while the yarns were still in the skein looked totally different when they were balled up and different again when they were swatched, it's been a fascinating process for me so far.
