stashcraft

/ˈstæʃˌkrɑːft/nounVerified New

The acquisition of hobby materials as a practice that substitutes for the hobby itself.

The yarn inventory outgrows the output by an order of magnitude; buying is the relaxing part and making is the homework. Stashcraft is most visible in fiber arts, baking supplies, and stationery, wherever materials are beautiful in bulk. Its practitioners are not procrastinating — they have reassigned the hobby.

Etym. — stash + craft — the collection is the craft; the two words fuse without a seam.

Rel. — craftcreep
