Yarn Planning - A Year Later

Last year I wrote a post about choosing yarn to take on a trip where luggage space 

was limited. Here we are a year later getting ready for another trip and the changes

 I am going to make based on last year's travels. I am still in the position of wanting

 to use stash and not having to buy yarn, although souvenir yarn is a possibility. 

My notions bag is the same as last year except this time I remembered to add a small

 amount of scrap yarn and I added a small sticky pad and pen. 

Last year I took a set of interchangeable needles and a set of crochet hooks. I have 

decided I do not need to cover for all eventualities and if I do need a different 

needle size I would probably be buying yarn anyway. To limit the needles I would 

need, I will only take 4-ply weight yarn and probably only knit socks. Although my

 preference is DPNs I will take long circulars as there is less chance of dropping them. 

The yarn I am taking is the yarn I wound last year but didn't take plus a couple of 

skeins that I purchased on our travels. In last year's post I commented that wound 

yarn took up room but I really do not want to wind thin yarn by hand. I'm sure I am 

taking too much yarn but that is something I do not want to run out of. 

I am also going to take a couple of crochet hooks in case I decide a crochet project 

will be a change.
