ArtBin 6824AG Mini Yarn Drum, Portable Knitting & Crochet Storage, [1] Poly Canvas Tote Bag, Gray Print

I used to loom knit a lot. Then I taught myself to crochet. I have so much yarn! I also have cats. If I didn't make sure to put my yarn basket away I would have a frustrating mess to clean up in the morning. I've woken up a couple mornings to find some of my yarn run all through the house. lol The Yarn Drum is the answer to my cat/yarn problem and to problems I didn't even know I had yet! It's so convenient! It holds all of my working balls of yarn and allows me to continue using them while storing them in the Yarn Drum. It has a pocket and a pouch perfect for holding extra crochet needles and a small pair of scissors. I've even taken it on road trips to see our families for the holidays. I left it sitting in the floorboard of the back seat and worked on my project while sitting in the front passenger seat. The yarn dispenses easily! The drum and strap allow it to be carried around easily as well. If you crochet you need this product!!!

Bag is big & functional. Yarn slots at top are smooth, not rough or jagged to fray yarn. Good heavy plastic zipper. Color is nice. Plan to order another. Nice outside pocket is great to put a picture of the project. Easily handled 3 Caron Big Cakes, but my small afghan throw (72" x 50") & one cake alternatively would fit. Slight smell of plastic - pretty much disapated after an hour. Note - crochet hooks not in a pouch will fall out of external & only pocket as it is one big pocket, but larger items fit secure. Velcro could be added to fix situation, if needed. I did not get the add-on pouch. Better to invest in another one & get a pencil pouch elsewhere.

The yarn pulls through the holes on top very well. I found that it works better if you have the yarn already wound in a ball if it is a skein. You can have several balls of yarn in the bag at a time. It is designed more for shorter length knitting needles - 14 inch will stick out at the top. I don't really mind that because I use longer knitting needles. Can be used for knitting or crochet. Highly recommend.

First, I will say that I do like this product; however, there are two things to know. First, the color is more red than pink. The picture makes it look like a pretty pink color, it is not. Since it is a functional piece, this is of less concern to me than if it were say a purse that I absolutely wanted to be pink. Second, this bag has no internal structure to hold it upright, it collapses unless it is STUFFED full of yarn. I found a solution to that by using a 12x18" ultra stiff plastic canvas piece turned on its side so the 12" side is standing in the height of the bag - a perfect fit. The 18" side wraps about 75% inside the circumference of the bag, which is enough to give the bag structure to stand open. I got this when it was on sale for about $9, so I am thrilled with it even though I had to make some adjustments to make it work for me. I think even at full price, I would be satisfied.

I am so glad I ordered this! I have a big bulky, plastic, not portable, yarn caddy I've been using for years here at home. It's not made to be portable and it doesn't even hold any of my projects, except maybe pot holders!) and I was using a large tote to take my projects with me. I wanted something that looked and traveled better. This one holds my yarn and small projects (up to a baby blanket) so there's no need for a second bag... I usually don't take large projects with me anyway. I love the optional use strap and the mesh pocket on the front of the bag is the perfect size for my double thick zippered crochet case. There was a slight odor, but it was hardly noticeable and went away quickly. Well worth the small price! (And to the reviewer who used cardboard to help it keep it's shape when it's not full... brilliant!)

I purchased this merely because I wanted a smaller, more mobile version of my larger Art Bin (which I love to death.) (I go to the doctor a lot so this is more reasonable that the much larger scale, for me.) This thing is so adorable and I love it. I do wish it was a tad cheaper, but I don't mind the extra few dollars for it is well made and is light weight. Also, this strap is NOT like the straps on the others. It is MUCH shorter and has a clip on it, which I do not mind actually. I can clip it to my purse or even my belt loop of I wanted and crochet anywhere without my yarn getting in a mess. (I was only mentioning it for other customers whom may be curious.) Also, the picture shows the bin being more-so blue than grey as it mentions in the description....it is NOT like that in person. It is definitely grey; a beautiful grey at that I might add. I recommend this to anyone that happens to be on the move and still wants to knit or crochet.

Our daughter wanted a yarn drum (like her mum has) for her knitting. She loves this. It holds a lot of yarns as well as her knitting form(s). She hasn't started with knitting needles yet but she will likely soon. There is a ton of space in this. I think if you get an external (small) bag to attach to it you could take loads of needles or hooks with you as well (or just store them). Great value!

The description says the diameter is 12 inches; however, it is only 11 inches. This is why this is important to me. I purchased this item to store my round knitting looms in. I measured the diameter of my largest loom as 11 inches. So, I thought with 12 inches in diameter, this bag would be large enough to store all my looms. However, my large round loom doesn't fit in it. My other smaller looms do fit in the bag, and it is well made so I'm going to keep it until I find can find a 13-inch diameter bag. For storing yarn, or carrying projects around, the bag should be fine.

Now I don’t know much about knitting let me tell you. But I bought this for my mum who is always good for a woolly hat or two and she absolutely loves it. She took it during a stay in hospital and it held everything she needed. It feels very well made and durable not to mention impressive looking. The colour options are nice and varied although i opted for the pink as it was a lot cheaper than the other colours making it great value for money. So much so that I purchased a second for my wife!

Small but good

Perfect for yarn. Enough big for big works and not too big to be carry! Buy one!

Excelente producto. Tal y como está publicado. Está muy amplio y práctico. Lo recomiendo ampliamente

The product itself is good but just to clarify, this is ONLY storage and doesn't have the Yarn. I bought it on tge go and the picture to that extent is misleading. Can't fault the product though - taking one star off for them not outlining on the pic that the Yarn is not included.
