Although this might take some time, the time saved overall is enormous. For what seems like forever, I have been keeping all my materials in bins, draws, poly bags, plexi glass containers, and jars. I had no system for knowing exactly where a certain item is stored and I spent a great deal of my precious tying time just looking for that exact item needed. I would do a lot of, "Oh yea, I remember that stuff".
So, start to name and number each and every storage container . Then make a list in category, then name in alphabetical order then by bin and bag.
Something like.......
Golden Pheasant Crest - Draw 1, Jar 2
Natural Pheasant Tail - Bin 10, Poly 14
Peacock Herl - Draw 1, Box 4, Poly 3
Oh, that's where I put that roll of Angora yarn. You get the drill!!!! No need to do this all at one time.
