What Is A Yarn Bowl?
A cat yarn bowl, is a yarn bowl, with a cat being an added decorative feature.
The purpose of a yarn bowl is to stop the ball of yarn from zipping all over the floor when knitting and to ensure that the yarn is tangle free as it is pulled through an opening in the side of the bowl. The image below will make this explanation make sense.

Why Do I Need A Cat Yarn Bowl?
Cats and kittens can’t resist playing with yarn, chewing on it, and tangling it around their bodies and basically dragging it across the floor.
For knitters and crocheters, the cat playing
with the yarn can be a real problem, as precious yarn can quickly become a knotted mess.
A cat yarn bowl is the perfect solution to this problem. A yarn bowl and specifically, a cat yarn bowl, is something that a non knitter would probably not know existed.
Created with cats in mind, these cleverly designed bowls keep yarn safely contained. They make a great gift for any cat lover who also enjoys crafting.
Practical and fun, a cat yarn bowl is the perfect way to keep your yarn safe from feline mischief. Plus, should the unthinkable happen and your cat pees on your yarn, a yarn bowl is an easy way to move the yarn out of the reach of the cat.
How Does The Yarn Bowl Work?
The yarn feeds through a slot, therefore eliminating tangles plus the cat (the real one), cannot create merry havoc by chasing the ball of yarn around the room.
The cat chasing the yarn is a problem and we knitters and crocheters have to go to all sorts of lengths to hide the yarn from the cat.
As a knitter I have several WIPs (Works In Progress) and I know some people, like to have a yarn bowl for each project.
Yarn bowls keeps everything the yarn nice and tidy. As the yarn is pulled from the ball, during the knitting or crocheting process, the yarn glides smoothly through the slot. At the same time, the weight of the yarn bowl keeps the yarn in place.
It is also really handy to just pick up the yarn bowl with whatever project you are working on and take it with you, wherever you may be going.
Tip – If using the yarn bowl on a slippery surface use a disc of non slip liner underneath the yarn bowl.
Ceramic Yarn Bowls
Ceramic or pottery yarn bowls are possibly going to be heavier than other yarn bowls.
This is actually okay, as a ceramic yarn bowl will have stability and won’t move about when the yarn is being used and drawn through the slot.

This yarn bowl measures 5″ x 4.5″ which holds a good sized ball of yarn. The yarn bowl is hand painted. It is a reasonably heavy weight so the yarn bowl won’t jump about, as the yarn is pulled through the hole, while knitting.
This yarn bowl looks super cute sitting in full view and is a talking point. Even when not in active duty it looks good. It looks good amongst the plants on the plant shelf and some people have actually used it as a plant holder.
One perhaps drawback for me with the design of this yarn bowl, is that you need to remember to thread the yarn through the hole before beginning the knitting project. This is pretty obvious but it is easy to forget also.
It’s a happy way to start knitting for the day.

2. Cat Yarn Bowl – by Lorrie Veasey
- Made from lead free non toxic materials
- Made to be used and enjoyed
- Kiln Fired to 1900 degrees
This yarn bowl measures 6.5″ and 3.5″ This yarn bowl is slightly different to the style shown above.
Instead of having a hole to thread the yarn through, this bowl features a hook or slot.
This means that the yarn can be removed from the yarn bowl without having to cut the yarn.
I prefer this style as I have the option of removing the yarn without having to cut the yarn.
Both work well. It is matter of personal preference.
