What I've learned is that I really have equal love for all colors.... but I might want to knit up some of the orange island so the other colors don't start getting jealous. Also, I think I only have one pair of socks with orange in it.
In the interest of full disclosure, this is not all of my sock yarn. After I took the first picture, I found a few more skeins squirreled away here and there. But it really is the majority of it.
I hid this bin of sin inside my yarn trunk. I was wondering where the Regia had gone off to.
What was the real purpose of going through my sock yarn? Well, while the motivation should be to make sure I am moth free (I am!), or to destash some skeins that aren't "me" anymore (I did), what I really was trying to do was figure out what I might want to weave next. I had to commandeer Connor's yarn basket so that I could have a new weaving basket. Look at all that possibility! I'm excited.
Clearly all this yarn was just waiting for me to learn a new skill so I could make them look even more attractive in finished projects
If anyone else has gone through/ goes through their stash, I'd love to see pictures. Does anyone else have a sock skein addiction like me? Do you find that your stash leans a certain way color-wise or do you have equal love for all colors?

This is impressive :) How about the rest of your stash? Have a great end of the week!
I have tons of sock yarn. Like you I love color and one skein of yarn is a great way to collect lovely yarn but now I want sweaters and am having trouble with the one skein wonders. I need to think of how I can make a sweater either several different colors of yarn.
I think your stash is quite droolworthy...
As I am currently in between jobs, I don't have a big stash.. But I can relate to the sockyarn kryptonite. I love how I can get all the wild colours without having to bother whether it looks good on me ( as opposed to sweater yarn, I would never go neon there, for instance, on socks though... )
Oh I also have such a major sock yarn addiction.. I keep in in one particular (rather big) drawer that lately has been more and more difficult to close. So it would probably be a good idea to make a little inventory as well :D Really love how your stash represents all the colours of the rainbow!
What a glorious stash! As you have had the opportunity to become personally acquainted with my stash, I will not show it on the blog. But oh yes, those lovely, single skeins of exquisitely coloured beauty... happy sigh.
