A handmade wooden yarn bowl created using a native Irish wood. The yarn bowls have a cutout which guides your working yarn, with a heavy base to ensure the bowl won't tip over while working.
Each wooden yarn bowl is handcrafted, meaning no two bowls are exactly the same. You'll get a beautifully unique yarn bowl.
Our handmade, solid wood Irish yarn bowls are the perfect accessory for your knitting stash. Beautiful to look at, as well as practical and useful, they will keep your Yarn Vibes yarn flowing freely onto your needles as you knit.
A yarn bowl is a bowl you put your wound balls of yarn into that keeps it tidy and untangled and stops it from rolling around and trying to get away from you while knitting!
Our handmade yarn bowls have a cutout which guides your working yarn. You place your yarn through the cutout and when you pull your yarn - the ball freely rolls in the bowl without rolling away or getting knotted/tangled.
Each yarn bowl is made from a solid piece of Ash, a native Irish wood, most of which is sourced from woodturner Roy Humphrey's family farm. The bowls are incredibly smooth so none of your precious Yarn Vibes yarn will get snagged or pulled when rolling around in it.
These handmade wooden yarn bowls have a heavy base that stops the bowl from tipping over and high walls so your wound yarn won't just roll right out!
With a beautifully rustic finish and rimmed with the Ash tree's natural bark, these yarn bowls are not just practical - they will also look beautiful in your home.
Our beautiful yarn bowls are handcrafted by woodturner Roy Humphreys. Roy is from Mohill, Co. Leitrim. He is the fourth generation of the Humphreys family working with wood, and has been woodturning for nearly 20 years.
He is a self taught turner- it started out as as a hobby and has now developed into a business. He uses only native woods, and sources it mainly from the family farm. His studio is based in the converted granary beside his home.
An important native tree, the Ash is the most common tree in Irish hedgerows, and is a traditional woodland species. It is sometimes called the “Venus of the Woods” due to its attractive shape and beautiful foliage. Ash was thought to have power over water and was often planed near sacred springs known as Clootie wells which were places of pilgrimage for the Celts. The wood of the Ash is light, tough and flexible and is commonly used in Ireland to make furniture, walking stick and hurleys for the Irish sport of hurling.
