I went to Target and bought two new Rubbermaid bins (the kind that you can stick under the bed) and collected all the yarn from Knitting in the Heartland, a road trip to the Yarn Barn, and various UFO nights at MisKnits. I put mostly sweater yarn and odd balls in the new bins, and tossed all the sock yarn — JUST THE SOCK YARN — into one big bin that I already had.
This is that bin.

This is why I dont reorganize.
Been there.... just keep knitting socks! You sock yarn stash will diminish, if you don't keep loading the bin.
Hahaha. You fail. :)
PS I have just as much reason to be appalled in my own home. :)
Sock yarn is good. If you don't have sock yarn, you can't knit socks. I have a trunk filled with yarn that is mostly for socks, and I'll bet you the dimensions of said trunk are slightly more than that of your Rubbermaid tub. Whenever I find yarn that I don't remember having, I think "wow, I'm so happy and surprised to have that, what good taste I've got!" And continue on with life.
I had one of my new friends over this weekend and she wanted to see the yarn, so I pulled out the two under the bed storage units that hold the sock yarn and then pulled the two full-size rubermaid containers that hold the sweater yarn, then we looked where I hard yarn stashed in the book case and then when we were sitting on my couch drinking diet coke, she noticed the yarn I had stashed in the egg basket in front of my fireplace... I can't decide whether to be appalled or proud of my yarn collection...
Spring cleaning can be dangerous! I have to do some soon too. My mother is coming to visit in less than a month and I have to find a place to hide all of the yarn stash since she will be staying in the room it now currently occupies.
Sigh. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones so I have no comment. :-)
If all my sockyarn were in a tub, I'd totally have to dump it out and roll all around in it. Just because I could. I don't know if I could handle seeing all the sockyarn out at once like that. Wow.
Your tub is lovely. Be proud of it.
