Yarn Bowls For The Knitting Or Crochet Lover

YARN STORY Handmade Wooden Walnut Yarn Bowl and Knitting Bag Bundle, 6-Inch-by-3-InchYarn Bowls Help Keep Yarn Tanglefree And Accessible

I remember as a child my grandmother having a huge basket next to her armchair filled with balls of brightly colored yarn.

Some skeins were attached to projects in progress, while others were as purchased in the store with the paper band still on them.

And often at night, she would have me help her re-roll the skeins into balls that were easier to handle as she knit.

I also recall more than once, the errant yarn balls escaping and rolling away from where she sat patiently knitting after dinner while listening to the news on television.

With a heavy sigh, she’d get up to retrieve her yarn….multiple times, it seemed.

If she were here today, I would have gifted her with a yarn bowl. A yarn bowl is exactly that – It’s a bowl that holds one or more balls of yarn.

What makes it unique is that it has a slit in the side that allows the strand of yarn to slide through, allowing control of the yarn ball with no rolling away.

Some even have holes where knitting needles can live when not used.

Yarn bowls are not the yarn baskets of old either. Many are absolute works of art made from pottery or hand-turned wood, most of which are delicately carved, molded, and smoothed to eliminate yarn catching on any rough edges.

With so many choices of colors, materials, and styles, a yarn bowl makes a great gift for the knitter in the family or in your circle of friends.

Yarn bowls are an effective storage piece while remaining sturdy and stable on most surfaces, but are also small and light enough to be portable and can be added to a tote bag for traveling or while waiting for appointments.

A yarn bowl is a uniquely stylish (and highly functional) piece of decor for anyone who loves to knit or crochet.

Wooden Yarn Bowls

I’m struck by how beautiful these polished wooden yarn bowls are. And, they’re so functional also.

Pottery Yarn Bowls

I love the look of these pottery yarn bowls, but, I’m a clutz. Wooden might be better for me.
