This stunning XL Cherry Yarn bowl is loaded with special features. So, WHY have we discounted it as "perfectly imperfect"? While loaded with features, it's just not as deep as its counterparts. Nature dictated a slightly shorter depth, pushing placement of the star groove lower than our tried and true "Large & XL Workhorse" yarn bowls.

​Giant (full skein, 7oz. #4 worsted balls) don't glide quite as easily through that lower groove to start... For that reason, I recommend top pulling balls over 5oz as noted in pics. This yarner prefers top pulling with all my bowls, so I think it's PERFECT!

Bob's signature star groove has 2 beauty marks in purple and pink sparkle inlay accent on the front view; with  round purple pools on each side view accenting the gentle east/west warp. The uncommon light cherry–buttery wood tones will deepen considerably over time. While lighter wood tones don't look a as shiny in pics as our deeper-toned cherry bowls, IRL the shine on this piece is brilliant (see interior pic). This durable finish will endure over time with virtually no maintenance.

Generously sized and perfectly shaped for a wide variety of yarn projects; the top opening is 9" x  5" depth (od). Circumference is 29" for nice interior space straight down to the flat bottom. For more on how we measure our yarn bowls using diameter vs. circumference and finding the best-sized yarn bowl for you, read "How Big is That Yarn Bowl?" here. 

As noted a full 7oz. "super saver" ball of #4 (worsted) rolls nicely (when top pulled) with room for extras when your work is set aside. 5oz. skeins glide smoothly through the left facing star groove. Perfect for med–larger cakes 7+ +/-; or small knitting/crochet projects using #0 - #3 weight fine/dk/sport yarn, or a large spool of crochet cotton. Designed and tested to ensure that the yarn won't pop out; yarn cakes keep their shape and double as a frogging bowl –leaving frogged yarn easy to put aside. 

Crafted over a five-month period, this piece dried with an oval warp that nature intended. Sixteen plus cycles of hand-buffing/finish bring out the brilliant shine; with a final coat of imported museum wax added to resist fingerprints and stains. Dimensions listed are approximate. One-of-a-kind, signed and numbered by the artist; #698. Perfectly imperfect priced to sell at an incredible value.
