More Yarn Bag Photos

More photos of my Yarn Bags-

Small Yarn Bag- Holds peaches & creme or sugar & creme cotton yarn.

X-Large Yarn Bag- holds large baby yarn and one pounders.

Large Yarn Bag- Holds Red Heart yarn and similar yarn size.

Medium Yarn Bag- holds sock yarn and Bernat Chunkys.

 

My newest creations- Yarn Bags

I was looking at my plastic bag holders and had a thought-  I could make the bottom with a little plastic ring and put my skein of yarn into the bag and pull the yarn out through the plastic ring and that way my yarn wouldn't go everywhere and wouldn't knot up, etc.

Here are some pics of it.

Now I can hang my yarn holder beside me while I am crocheting or I can lay it beside me while I am crocheting.

I made and sent several as Christmas gifts.

The pattern will be coming soon.
