Free Yarn Caddy

[DebraKay]

I just saw a cute idea for yarn strage/caddy. Just the thing when you don't feel like having your yarn roll around the floor or pulling from the center becomes too much of a challenge. They use an empty baby wipes container. Put the yarn in and bring the end of the yarn up through the little slit in the top. Perfect!

Looks like it would work pretty well!

Interesting idea, but my skeins would never fit in a baby wipes box.

That's what I'd run in to too. Right now I'm working with Pounds of Love skeins which would never fit in a Baby Wipe box. But the smaller 50 gram sizes would work well. I do occasionally use them for a hat, scarf, or fingerless gloves.

Using the same concept of the readymade hole in the top, maybe one of the jumbo size Lysol/Clorox wipes containers would work for the larger skeins

Do you think a pounder would fit in a big oatmeal container?
