Yarn Bowls
A yarn bowl can speed up your knitting or crocheting project greatly by simply keeping your wool in one place. By tucking the working end of your yarn through the cut-out slot, the remainder of the ball will simply roll around safely in the bowl. Our beautiful ceramic and wooden yarn bowls not only speed up your knits but also keeps them safe from roaming pets and kids!
What is a yarn bowl?
A yarn bowl is a special bowl with a hole in the side. They are designed to hold yarn while it’s being used. Yarn bowls can be made of almost anything - as long as it they’re solid enough to keep the yarn still and smooth enough to stop the yarn from getting snagged as it is pulled out. Wood and ceramic are popular choices for handmade yarn bowls. We also stock some unique resin yarn bowls from Furls Crochet.
Why use a yarn bowl for your next project?
- It will help speed things up so you can complete knits faster
- A yarn bowl is ideal for keeping your wool out of the way of pets and kids
- Keep your yarn tangle free and clean by storing it in the bowl
- While knitting or crocheting your wool will unwind smoothly so you can get an even tension.
Ceramic knitting bowls
Our handmade ceramic yarn bowls are crafted in the UK, in our lovely home county of Suffolk. They’re available in a range of exquisite colours and designs. As each ceramic yarn bowl is made from hand, no two pieces are the same.
Wooden yarn bowls
If you’re looking for something a little more traditional, our elegant wooden yarn bowls are also hand crafted in the UK. Each one is made from sustainable sycamore wood, which is grown in Northumberland. No two bowls are the same, so each has its own unique character.
Resin yarn bowls
We are pleased to stock Furls yarn bowls. These yarn bowls are made from the same high-quality resin as Furls crochet hooks. The additional of automotive-quality paint gives them a luxurious shimmer. Their smooth, sleek design will allow yarn to slide easily from the bowl for a totally snag-free crafting experience.
Are yarn bowls useful?
Absolutely! While not a necessity for knitting or crochet, yarn bowls are very useful at keeping your yarn organised while you work. The bowl stops the yarn from rolling away and getting tangled. Yarn bowls are also very useful when working with multiple colours. You can feed each colour through a different hole in the yarn bowl. This will stop them from tangling around each other and will help you stay organised.
How do yarn bowls work?
Yarn bowls are intended to stop the ball of yarn from rolling away while you’re working. Place your yarn in the bowl, then thread the working end through a hole or hook it around the curved shape cut into the side of the bowl. As you work, continue to pull the yarn through the hole. Yarn bowls also give you a neat place to put your work when you need a break.
