I got creative!

I found a hack on Pinterest where balls of yarn were put onto empty CD spindles to keep them from rolling around.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work as hoped, so I made a little DIY version.
The spindle is now glued onto a discarded fidget spinner (that hit toy from last year) and a small bowl. Now the spindle rotates along with it, and the yarn unwinds without any problems.

That’s another option, too :-).

I think it’s great. With a little imagination, you can turn all kinds of discarded items into something useful.
And the colors of the ball of yarn match the bowl perfectly.

The color combo is just a coincidence, but you’re right;)

Cool idea :-)

Great idea, Mel, very creative!!

Oh, and… I solved the “problem” by using a small bowl to hold the ball of yarn. ;-)

Mel, that’s a good idea.

I do it like Monika, using a bowl or a box.

Before, I always used a potato-pancake tub or a yogurt tub; this is just something different for a change...

That's true, not everyone has one. Have fun with it.

Mel, most importantly, it looks nicer. :-) 

Thumbs up for your idea, Mel!

Brilliant. You could write a DIY tutorial for this :-)
