Reading about this great idea soon afterI starting a baby blanket the required two strands of yarn to be knit at one time. Didn't think much of this technique (am new to the joys of knitting) until I did a few rows and what a tangle to undo!!! Like every other row... This yogurt yarntainer is very innovative and ecofriendly (and I have a large how grommet tool). Very cool. My cats don't play with my yarn. Is there something wrong here?!!? I guess I should be grateful that the yarn is safe but I worry about my 'kids' missing out on some serious feline stimulation... What marvelous timing!

The lid screws on - all I have to do is figure out how to get the hole made in the top without breaking it (hard plastic lid). Maybe a hand drill? Great idea - wish I had thought of it myself!

I'm going to have to make me one of these as my cats won't leave wool alone! This'll be brilliant for keeping the wool clean when I'm crocheting blankets! Thanks for the inspiration! Amazing idea!

This is great! I have 4 little 10-week-old kittens that have a ball when the yarn comes out! However, my productivity diminishes significantly... lol They're too cute to be mad at, though. :) They're still going to try to play with it, but probably not as much, once I find a good container... I buy everything in little containers because it's just me. OMG! This is great! I have 4 little 10-week-old kittens that have a ball when the yarn comes out!

I made mine with a plastic container i got full of wanton soup. For the hole in the middle i burned a candle until it was big enough and w a pencil i smooth the edges . Also a good container would be those big tubs of butter. :) That’s a great idea. I made mine with a plastic container i got full of wanton soup.
