If you’re a serious knitter or crocheter, you
probably know about yarn bowls. For those of you unfamiliar with yarn
bowls, they're decorative bowls, usually made of wood or ceramic, specially designed
to hold a ball of yarn and keep it from tangling as you knit or crochet. Yarn
bowls are generally handcrafted works of art that can be quite expensive. You
can check some out here.
You don’t need to spend a fortune for a yarn bowl,
though. You can make one yourself with a bowl and a banker’s clip. It isn’t
beautiful, but it serves the purpose.
No banker’s clips on hand? Use a colander. Or a
produce netting bag. Place your yarn in the colander or bag and thread the yarn
through one of the holes.
A few months ago I shared photos of some of the
teapots I’ve collected over the years.
These are mostly only for display purposes, but there are a few I do brew tea
in. I also use some of them occasionally as yarn bowls.
