I use big plastic totes for yarn that aren't see thru. To solve the problem of knowing what is inside,I take part of each label and tape it to the lid. Then I can see at a glance just what it contains. I also sort mine by colors and by either plain or fuzzy. and varigated/ombres also have their own bin.Baby or fine yarns are also separate. Yes, I have many, many totes and they are kept in my basement on metal utility shelves.
