Pottery Yarn Bowl by NewDayPottery on Etsy[/caption]
Yarn bowls are silly. Pure, unadultered silliness. But like some silly things they still manage to serve a purpose … for knitters and crocheters. Yarn bowls are handmade, thrown clay pots with slits and holes on the sides meant to control the flow of yarn from a wound ball. The live yarn feeds through a hole or slit, which lets the ball itself tumble around inside the bowl without flying all over the floor or being relegated to a ziplock baggie.

Stoneware Yarn Bowl by summerscrafts on Etsy[/caption]
I've always been partial to stoneware and matte finish, and there are plenty to choose from. You can find one in a color your favorite crafter likes, or one with motifs and finishes that contain imagery your knitter or crocheter friend enjoys (like I'm a sucker for cats, elephants, and owls!).
If you prefer shopping local, we carry yarn bowls at Hill Country Weavers! Stop by the shop to check them out (they're super cute!).
