Yarn Holders found many now to decide which one.

Got a question.  

My yarn holder broke and I need to purchase a new one.  Problem is, mine is so old, that they do not make it anymore.  I have looked around and found these two.  Now, I basically use it for my PNC cotton cones.  Here are the ones I am thinking of buying, just need to know which one.

Before I clicked on your links, I had in mind you were looking for something similar to the item in your second link.  The Kinekule one is only 4.7" across the base and mentions 'sewing, embroidering, and quilting' which sounds like it may be for smaller cones.  I don't have a full kitchen cotton cone handy only a partially used one which is 4" across which leads me to suspect that base might not be big enough for a new cone - but I'm guessing.  If you have a fresh cone on hand you may want to measure to see if it will fit.

The cone is 5 1/2 by 6 1/2 inches.  So I will keep looking.  I will have to get a picture of my old one.  I had 2.  Thanks for the info.

I have no experience with them. I guess I thought it was normal to crochet a bit, unspool yarn, crochet a bit, unspool yarn, get up to retrieve said yarn because it rolled across the floor and repeat. Post a photo of your old one if you get a chance.  I am curious as to what it looks like.

This is what I am using now.  The top has a tendency to come off.  DH wants to glue it, but if you glue it, you can not get a cone on it.  The top must swivel.  I had two, but one broke.

I got mine from amazon in 2014. It is a Herrschners product but is not available on amazon now and I couldn't find to on Herrschners either. They called it a hardwood cone holder. 10 x 1.5 x 8.5 inches; 1.65 Pounds

I didn't find one similar on etsy or ebay.

What is the purpose of the top on your yarn dispenser. Could you just use it without the top piece?

[Tampa Doll]

The top, keeps it from getting tangled.  I guess I could, but it holds my yarn steady and helps with the tension.

Yeah, I bought it from Amazon.  I have looked all over.  I guess I will have to make sure this one stays ok.  

Thanks for your help.

I purchased this one for cones. Works good.

What about something like this? This was my first thought when looking into the yarn holders. My daughter went ahead and ordered the yarn holder which I really do like. The paper towel holder is a bit less expensive.

Thanks Tat.  I have added to my wish list on Amazon.  Still trying to decide which one I need.  My biggest problem with the old cones the top is closed.  I either let it swing on the holder, or I try and cut a hole in the top.  Thank you for all you help.  I will probably go with the yarn holder.

Just another thought! 😁

I have one similar to your second one, and I wasn't very happy with it. I seldom use it! I have yet to try any others. I use a wooden yarn bowl from time to time.
