I love me some one or two skeins of a pretty yarn. Have you been over to Pat's knitting and Quilting blog in the last day or two? She made an awesome pair of convertible glove/mitts from two skeins of Kureyon. Gorgeous and very doable for gifts. :) I feel your pain. I love me some one or two skeins of a pretty yarn.

Obviously, your skeins have been, um... to put it delicately, self-propegating. Recommended strategies for this problem vary depending on whom you ask, but consider a) putting 6 inches between each skein to limit comingling or b) deliberately encourage yarn develoment and put complimentary skeins together in a paper bag and leave undisturbed for 3-4 months. This should be enough time for them to, uh, get their groove on. Also, if all else fails, remember that I have more wool than you. I'm sure of it. Probably you and Em combined, maybe with T's stash thrown in, too. ;) Congratulations on facing the stash! Obviously, your skeins have been, um… to put it delicately, self-propegating.
