Wooden Yarn Bowl ~ 9.5” x 5” - Made in hotsell USA - Beautiful Graining

This beautiful yarn bowl allows yarn to flow smoothly while working on your knitting or crochet project. This bowl is the perfect size for a large ball of yarn. I will add holes for knitting needles next to the design if you would like. This bowl is decades old and in very good vintage condition.

This is the kind of bowl I really enjoy working on. When I got it, it was in rough shape. It is quite old. It was turned by a very good wood turner. Unfortunately, it sat on a shelf for many years with no care. I was able to revitalize and repurpose it into this lovely yarn bowl. Because of the lackof care the wood distorted slightly. It is a perfectly, imperfect bowl. There are a few scratches on the inside sides of the bowl, otherwise it is in excellent condition.

I opened my shop last year and am having a great time acquiring and repurposing these bowls. In the coming weeks I will add more wooden yarn bowls as I complete them. In the past I have made yarn bowls out of Teak, Rosewood, Tigerwood, Monkey Pod, Black Walnut, Maple, Oak, Olive Wood, Mango, Cherry, Elm, Cedar Root, Acacia, California Cypress, Paulownia, and Shan Mu Root. I do not turn the bowls myself. I use both new and slightly used bowls I find from a variety of sources and hotsell only bowls measuring a minimum of 7 inches in diameter.

All of my bowl alterations are handmade using no power tools except a drill. I use a jewelers saw to cut the design and then hand sand them until the curves are soft and the wood is smooth. Included with each bowl is a small cake of beeswax to rub around each hole to ensure your yarns flows smoothly and felt dots for the bottom.
