I'm looking for ideas about how to store my stash of fabrics and yarns

Currently I am storing my stash in 6 big plastic bins. They are heavy to stack and un-stack when filled with fabric. Some of my more delicate fabrics are stored on hangers hanging in the closet.

How To Organize Fabric in a File Cabinet
Cut cardboard the size of the bins. Stack your bins on top of each other with the opening facing out. Then wrap your fabric on the cardboard and place in the bins like books. This way you can see what you have and just pull out what you want. And you do not have to pickup the bins. You can do the same idea with yarn.
Or store them in an old dresser using Trudi's carboard idea.
I roll my fabrics around thick pieces of cardboard about 10" wide. I then stack those rolls up in a dresser.
Keep your eye out in thrift stores or a wardrobe. Then you can hang all the fabric. Of some deep bookcases. Entertainment centers for old style TVs are very cheap at thrift stores or a giveaway. The fabric can be rolled and place in the TV cubie.
