What Makes Our LARGE YARN BOWLS So Special?

​THE SIZE & SHAPE
Our best-selling Large Yarn Bowls are taller and narrower than competing yarn bowls. The tall sides are designed to loosely hug a ball of yarn to prevent it from popping out when the yarn is tugged quickly. Measuring 6"-7” (diameter) x 5-6” deep; a variety of shapes is determined by the characteristics of each wood specimen as the yarn bowls are turned on the lathe. This results in a truly unique, one-of-a-kind yarn bowl that can’t be duplicated!

ALL our LARGE yarn bowls are designed to fit the following criteria:

THEY ALL HOLD  FULL 3.5-5 OZ SKEINS
Standard  3.5 oz – 5 oz. skeins of 4 ply medium weight yarn, rolled in a big ball fit all our large yarn bowls with room to spare. Most large bowls will fit up to 7 oz. (oversized or “super-saver” skeins) see specific dimensions listed on each bowl.

​​THEY MAKE (Collapsing) YARN CAKES PORTABLE!
Average size yarn cakes up to 5 oz. +/-;  like Lion Brand “Mandala”, Bernat “Pop”, “Sweet Rolls” fit perfectly, keeping the cake more intact when you get down towards the end of the cake, making these yarn cakes portable and much easier to set aside.

Pop a cake in the bowl upside down and feed the tail through the groove for smooth pulling. If you like to work with larger yarn cakes, step up to an XL (Extra Large) –you’ll find a larger selection of XL’s as the Large Bowls sell quickly.

THEY MAKE FROGGING A BREEZE!
Need to frog several rows? Frog that yarn into your Large Yarn Bowl and it will pile or stack in a contained manner so you can set your project aside without the risk of it becoming a tangled mess. Redoing those rows will be a breeze –whenever you get to it.

MONTHS IN THE MAKING
EEach yarn bowl is made to strict gallery-grade standards, representing incredible value given the time and effort invested. It takes 2-3 months for the wood to dry before shaping on the lathe. The real work begins with lathe shaping, groove cutting, and at least fifteen cycles of hand sanding, buffing, and finishing – an additional 2 weeks under optimal weather conditions. The finishing process may take longer in the Florida heat and humidity. A final coat of museum wax is applied to resist fingerprints and enhance the brilliant shine.

DEDICATION TO FUNCTIONALITY
We've had a couple requests to “drill some holes in the sides of our yarn bowls for knitting needles…”   While needle holes may add interest to some competiters yarn bowls, holes don’t function properly in our large bowls because they’re so nice and deep.
​
As form meets function in all of our yarn bowls, we hope to shed some light on how important ease of use is combined with the natural beauty Bob brings out in his works. We hope you make the right choice for your needs.

If I could have only one yarn bowl, I’d choose a large “workhorse” bowl. That’s why I say "...it’s the only yarn bowl you’ll ever need!"

Paw Proof!
