Yarn Bowl
This yarn bowl is not made from yarn, but for yarn, because it prevents your yarnball from rolling away while knitting :)

Magic Knot
I have tried the magic knot and find it brilliant: you can cut the threads extremely short and it doesn’t open :)
That’s why it is perfect for the making of a magic ball.
But it only works if you make the knot the right way!

Skein Holder
When I saw the picture I thought: ‘Wristwarmers for skeins?’ ;-)
No, it is a skein holder to prevent the skein from unraveling and rolling around when you knit it from the center.
By the way, I have presented before how to wind a center pull yarn ball :)

Planned Pooling for Knitting
If you have yarns with colour changes you won’t know how the knitted item will look.
The little programm for the planned pooling for knitting helps you to get an idea, you only have to fill in the number of stitches per row and per colour and if you knit in rows or in rounds.
Great! :))

Self-made Yarn Winder
I’ve already presented the self-made ball winder and the DIY yarn ball winder.
The self-made yarn winder is the same device, but made nearly for free from cardboard, duct tape and other recycling materials.
Great, isn’t it?

Estimate Amount of Yarn
I’ve found an interesting way to estimate the amount of yarn (roughly!) if you have a beautiful yarn lying before you and if you have an idea about what to knit with it.
