Yarn care for centre-pull yarn cakes.

Yarn Minders help protect your beautiful squishy yarn from common mishaps while knitting from centre-pull yarn cakes. 

Yarn Minders keep your yarn clean and protect it from snags in your project bag. Unlike yarn cozies, they have a bottom, so they can comfortably hold your yarn cake from beginning to end, keeping it tangle-free even when the centre is gone and the cake collapses into a yarny mess.

Have you given up on centre-pull cakes because your yarn gets overtwisted while knitting? To prevent this, it may help to carefully push the inner yarn tail down through the centre of the cake and out the bottom as you take it off the winder. I find this helps reverse any extra twist added by my winder.

Does your yarn cake sometimes fall off your lap and roll across the floor? Does your cat think it's a toy? Slip the drawstring over your wrist or hang it nearby to keep it handy as you knit, or tuck it in your project bag or purse for knitting on the go. Your yarn minder will feed centre-pulled yarn to you efficiently, so you can settle into the peaceful rhythm and flow of your knitting.  

Yarn Minders are generously sized (5.5 x 6") and will stretch to comfortably hold yarn cakes of 100g or more from beginning to end.  

As an added bonus, they can also serve as reusable gift bags for the socks and mittens you knit!
