A yarn bowl, also known as a Wool Bowl or a Knitting Bowl, is a bowl-shaped object that is used to hold yarn. It is typically made of a material that is smooth and non-abrasive, such as wood, ceramic, or even plastic. Yarn bowls come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they can be decorated in a variety of ways.
It's important to look closely at the dimensions when choosing the best yarn bowl as they come in all sorts of sizes. Generally, your average yarn bowl will measure around 10 to 16 cms in diameter (4 to 7 inches).
A customer review of the FelinFach Yarn Bowls...
"Last week, whilst looking on your website for some Welsh Christmas gifts I came across one of these yarn bowls🤗. Never seen a yarn bowl like this before; it's a handmade ceramic yarn bowl and I fell in love with it straight away 😍. So, I treated myself with an early Christmas present 🤗🤗. It arrived yesterday and it's so lovely. Keeps a ball of wool in place a treat as well as your knitting needles and crochet hook".
Yarn bowls are a great way to keep your yarn organised and tidy. Importantly, they can also help to prevent your yarn from tangling or just falling on to the floor and getting dusty. If you are a knitter or crocheter, a yarn bowl is near to a must-have accessory.
Here are some benefits of using a yarn bowl:
Organisation:
Yarn bowls help to keep your yarn organised and tidy. This can be especially helpful if you have a lot of yarn.
Tangle prevention:
Yarn bowls can help to prevent your yarn from tangling. This is because the bowl keeps the yarn from getting twisted and knotted.
Aesthetics:
Yarn bowls can be a beautiful addition to your knitting or crocheting space. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they can be decorated in a variety of ways.
Portability:
Yarn bowls are portable, so you can take them with you when you travel. This is great if you like to knit or crochet while you are on the go.
Choose the right size yarn bowl:
Make sure to choose a yarn bowl that is the right size for your yarn. If the bowl is too small, your yarn will be cramped, and it will be difficult to work with. If the bowl is too large, your yarn will be loose, and it will be easy for it to tangle.
Here are some factors to consider:
At the end of the day, personal choice and budget will be as big factors in choosing a yarn bowl as much as practicalities. With so many different yarn bowls on the market, you are sure to find the perfect one for your needs.
