Easily turn this Jumbo Yarn Bowl Set like a wheel by your side as every ball of yarn and all your tools are now quickly accessible and super organized while elevating your yarn works into a work of art!
The main function of a Yarn Bowl is to hold your yarn ball so it doesn't roll all over the room while you're working. Our Medium, Large, and XL Yarn Bowls serve that purpose very well! However, when we started getting numerous requests for bigger bowls, Bob started creating XXL, XXXL and occasionally  "Jumbo" Yarn Bowls. As I started testing their functionality, I fell in love with the organization and smooth work flow. Easily turn this Jumbo Yarn Bowl Set like a wheel at your side as every ball of yarn and all your tools are now quickly accessible and super organized and a pretty site to behold!
Our XXL - Jumbo yarn project bowls make big yarn projects more portable and stash-busting easy to manage. Some yarners may find the groove more decorative than functional in a bowl of this size, but when the bowl is unpacked for a work session, two large balls of yarn will roll nicely through the groove at the same time.

Jumbo Cherry Yarn Bowl/Cup Hub Set. Bob doesn't make many wood tool cup/hubs because they are small, they're very hard to finish!
I prefer to top pull my yarn(s) when using our XL-Jumbo Yarn Bowls. Others prefer to utilize the yarn groove. However, while two balls of yarn will pull smoothly, three or more balls will have a tendency to tangle even though there may be plenty of space in the bowl for them to roll freely.
TIP: Add a small cup or jelly jar in the middle of the bowl creating a "hub". The cup will hold your tools and scraps and allow multiple balls of yarn to pull freely from the top without tangling!
When working a big stash buster project with multiple smaller balls of  yarn; I pile  it all into my Jumbo Yarn Bowl and pop the working color into a (single ball sized) large yarn bowl for a smooth and portable workflow. These mammoth yarn bowls provide tons of space for everything when your #wip is set aside to be admired by all. A splurge for most, our collectors consider our XXL - Jumbo yarn bowls fiber work decor at it's best!

Tool Cup/Hub UPDATE!

While these glass versions aren't as artful as Bob's wooden hubs, these little freebies increase the functionality of our larger bowls and gives me the chance to include a fun little extra. I stock up on glass votive holders in a variety of sizes from the dollar store. As each piece is finished, I choose the perfectly proportioned cup/hub (elevated votive holder!?) to fit/complement that yarn bowl

Eyeing a particular XXL - Jumbo* Yarn Bowl that doesn't include a glass cup hub in the description? Just write: "please include a free glass cup hub" in the checkout notes and it’s yours!

*Glass cup hubs are free with our (larger) XXL, XXXL & Jumbo Yarn bowls only.
