Who has the biggest stash of yarn?

Dear users, dear authors,
Not everyone can or wants to participate in the yarn diet to become a yarn emperor or empress. So here’s the reverse question: Who has the very largest stash of yarn? Photos as proof are always a good idea. :-)

I’m almost certain it’s me :-) To take a photo as proof, I’d have to tidy up first :-)

How about a few details?
Number of balls? Boxes? Rooms?
:-)

Oh, right :-) I don’t know the exact number of skeins.
I have a separate room—it’s sort of a study—with a clothes drying rack and a table, though the table is currently unusable because it’s covered in yarn. Then there’s a shelf that’s packed to the brim with yarn. And since the shelf is full, there’s also a large box that’s packed to the brim as well. Quite a dilemma, I’d say, because where am I supposed to put the new yarn? In the meantime, there are also a few bags stacked up in that room. Take a guess at what’s inside :-)
The most important thing for me is that the area around the drying rack stays clear—I need that, after all.
Oh, and there’s also a cabinet in the living room. And there’s a cabinet in the entryway, too.

It’s just dawning on me—this is almost like Alcoholics Anonymous.

I’m probably waaaay out in front here...

I definitely still have 500 skeins of Catania cotton, 100–150 skeins of sock yarn (both hand-dyed and store-bought), and easily 500 different other skeins... And believe me, that’s not an exaggeration...
(I should also mention that I sold yarn online for a while...)
I can’t take any photos as proof because a) I still have a lot of stuff stored in moving boxes, b) my studio is still a shell, and c) I wouldn’t even know how to capture all this stuff in a single photo...

*laughs*

I'll count tomorrow.
Unfortunately, I won't get to it today.
