Experience is definitely key. The minimalist mindset makes a lot of sense in terms of my concern for stash size. I totally feel that guilt! I don't want to be a hoarder! (Except that I sort of do...)
Silk stashing is something that I want to get into, if I can find well-priced stuff (which is almost impossible where I live). It's so important for costuming, particularly earlier stuff. It's interesting to think about how our economics have changed over time in terms of what sorts of fibres are expensive or affordable, like the widespread prominence of linen in the 18th century in the Western world and its current prices and availability. So different!
