A Cat Yarn Bowl Is An Awesome Gift For A Knitter and Cat Lover

What Do You Get A Knitter Who Is A Cat Lover?

A cat yarn bowl is the perfect solution. This is an easy question for me to answer, being both a cat owner and a knitter. It is also something that a non knitter would probably not know existed.

The solution is – A Yarn Bowl! A what?

What Is A Yarn Bowl?

This is a yarn bowl. A cat yarn bowl is a yarn bowl with a cat being an added decorative feature.

As any cat owner knows, cats love yarn. They can’t resist playing with it, chewing on it, and tangling it around their bodies.

For knitters and crocheters, this 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. Created with cats in mind, these cleverly designed bowls keep yarn safely contained while allowing cats to play to their heart’s content. Plus, 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.

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, not naming names, who like to have a bowl for each project. It keeps everything together and nice and tidy.

It is also really handy to just pick up the 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 it means that these bowls will have stability and won’t move about when the yarn is being used and drawn through the slot.

Kitty Cat Yarn Bowl by Award-Winning Artist Judith Stiles 

Kitty Cat Yarn Bowl by Award-Winning Artist Judith Stiles. Each piece is signed by the artist. Judith hand mixes oxides to create the vibrant glazes evident on her pieces of work.

This bowl has a flat bottom that spans 5 inches which gives it stability when pulling the yarn through the slot. Knitters are constantly pulling the yarn whilst knitting, so this is an important design factor. It won’t slide around and is not top heavy.

The design is inspired by Meg The Cat, who pulls yarn onto the floor.

Specifications:

As each piece is handmade the weight will vary. Made in Cape Cod by artisan Judith Stiles. Temperature and humidity will not crack ceramic bowl as may happen with bowls made from wood. This bowl has a flat bottom that spans 5 inches

Cat Yarn Bowl

This yarn bowl measures 5″ x 4.5″ which holds a good sized ball of yarn. The bowl is hand painted. It is a reasonably heavy weight so the bowl won’t jump about, as the yarn is pulled through the hole, while knitting.

It 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 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.

Specifications:

This yarn bowl measures 5″ x 4.5″. It is a high quality ceramic.

 I Love Cats and Yarn, Lennymud by Lorrie Veasey

This yarn bowl measures 6.5″ and 3.5″  This 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 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.

Notes from the artist: “_{I usually start a day from my working space and clay preparation. It takes approximately 3 -6 hours of working on the product, depending on the product itself. Then I gather all raw products to fill the furnace and fire a set of items. The whole process takes about one day. A temperature for firing has to be from 950 to 1200 degrees.”}
