I am definitely a fan of a yarn bowl. I have picked up a couple of pottery-type large cereal bowls at thrift stores over the years, I've made fabric bowls, and finally got a proper yarn bowl recently, and just love them. My couch sits high off of the floor, so my loose yarn balls would always run for cover deep underneath, so a yarn bowl definitely works for me.
What a lovely yarn bowl. Someone really pays attention to what you would like, or it's a very good gift to yourself. They are a very useful item for a knitter. I just use a big salad bowl, but I like yours way better.
What a gorgeous and thoughtful gift! I use a fabric yarn owl and/or a drawstring bag, depending on whether it's a center or outside pull ball, but a yarn bowl works no matter what. Congratulations on your beautiful new gift :)
Beautiful! I don't actually use a yarn bowl. I have thought of purchasing one, but my funds usually go into purchasing more yarn instead and I make do with what I have for tools hehehe
