If you have a Ravelry Account, did you know that you can do a Search for stash use ideas by entering “ stash” in the ???? box? It’ll even look for patterns matching stash yarn you’ve included in your Ravelry notebook.
Good stash-busting projects include knitting or crocheting mittens/fingerless mitts, hats, socks/slippers, scarves, baskets, baby & dog sweaters, dolls, cowls, bags, afghans, etc.
Some popular stash busters include:

Soldotna knit top by Caitlin Hunter uses a variety of colors; just make sure your yarn is mostly the same weight. Fair Isle and color work, in general, are great stash busters!

Not sure if you have enough stash yarn for a chosen project? Come by the store with your yarn & pattern and we’re happy to help you pick out complementary yarn in similar weight and/or fiber to finish the job! We’ve recently reorganized our yarns by weight, to make the selecting easier!
Don’t forget to show & tell at the store, so we can add this to your Bingo card & your name to the drawing jar!
By the way, I’m working on Ray of Soleil using a combination of stash yarn & recently purchased, complementary plant fiber (mostly cotton) DK- weight,
Rowan Cotton Cashmere!
Best of luck to you,
