  I only have one bag. What I'm currently working on goes in it and the
UFO's don't get to travel !! So, not a problem.
 
  I have thought of that, but your right, I don't want to get into my
'emergency' reserves !!!  You just never know when you might need that
special color or colors in a project.  I have been selectivly using some 
of that 'stash' but some of it my wife made me put away, now its out of
site and 'outta mind' !! so don't know what all is in those big boxes!
I have about 3 file cabinet size (3ft high) boxes FULL of yarn !!
I sometimes will get it out and sort it according to color.
I was thinking of doing a 'yarncard' for my 3ring zipper binder.
Then I'd know what colors and how many skeins I have!! Too much fun!!
