If you’re like me, you cake your yarn nearly as soon as you get it. I cake my yarn because it’s how I store it on my yarn wall, but you might cake it simply because it’s easier to work with once caked, you can pull from the inside or the side depending on how much yarn you need, and you can ensure there are no knots or tangles before beginning your project.
Whatever the reason, caking your yarn or rolling it into a ball often means you lose the label. In my Yarn Wall Q&A Youtube I shared a few ideas for how to track what yarn make, color, and size you’re using – one of them is this free yarn label printable. Print the file as many times as you’d like to and append it to your yarn cake, skein, or even ball.

I have to admit that while I love these, I rarely have the need to know the maker, yarn weight, and lot color of my yarn, this is because my brain just simply doesn’t allow me to work on long projects that require a lot of the same yarn – I prefer to work on scrappy projects that use a lot of random colors, or on short projects like crochet scarves, or crochet potholders.
Typically when I decide to work on a large project I will buy all of the yarn I need and keep it separately. Still, there have definitely been occasions where I’ve needed to mark a certain color or lot and these little yarn label printables come in very handy.
