Has anyone tried out this bag?

It is the Joann Craft Essentials Rolling Yarn Tote and it is on sale right now. I am really interested in it, but I haven't seen it in person yet. Just wondering how spacious it is and how sturdy. Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone has the bag that you can order through Harriet Carter. I have been trying to figure out from the picture if it will hold only 3 skeins of yarn to feed up through the holds like the one from Collections or if it will actually hold 6 skeins since there are 6 holes for yarn to come out of. I wasn't sure if there are just two holes per compartment or what. My mother wants a yarn organizer that will keep her skeins separate and tangle free and currently she uses a cardboard box, but it's not very efficient when the skeins get smaller. She really would like one that holds 6 skeins and the other yarn organizer I have found that does just that, there are many bad reviews about it not staying together.

 

If anyone actually has this bag and could give me a better description of it, I would greatly appreciate it!

I have this one and it holds three skeins. I love it, especially when I'm working with multiple colors.

They also have this one, but I don't think you can pull the yarn up through a hole.

This is almost like mine, but it seems to hold 6 skeins. From the picture it looks like there are 6 compartments. On mine, each black "line" is a separater. Although I don't have this one, it seems to be constructed like mine. It's not extra heavy duty, but I am very satified with it for the price.

I hope I've helped.

My mother bought this bag for me from Harriet Carter and it's great! It holds six skeins (3 large pocket) up front with the easy slide grommets (6 of them) and yarn holder tabs on top (large enough double skein pockets can hold large cones or pounders of yarn). A Large clear (great for seeing everything you have) zippered notions section on the top of the bag, One large clear zippered pocket on right side (holds patterns, magazine, etc.), another clear opened pocket on left side with strap velcro closure. the interrior is Huge for multiple projects (I've done 2 at one time so far) Can't beat the price and it is very sturdy.
