Today I want to share a easy and cheap DIY with you. I love to crochet! I love my cat! But these 2 things don't get along very well. There are trazillions of times when I came home to something like this:
There must be a way to store your yarn so it's cat-safe, AND you can easily access it when you want to continue your crafts.
1. Grab one of these wipes at your local Dollar Store if you don't have one at home already. Look at the lid: It is perfect to hold the yarn! Remove the wrap carefully. You will need the measurements if you want to design your own yarn container wrap.
2. Measure and design! If you don't want to or just can't do your own design, you can download my ready to print wrap on my blog.
3. Cut it out, and glue or tape it to your container! I used washi tape on the top and bottom part. It worked fine!
4. DONE! Your yarn is safe now, and no more knots and other stuff that could stop your crochet-flow! Or knit-flow... Or whatever you use yarn for :)

Thank you, my long haired kitty and yarn don't mix well either. This will protect my yarn from his claws and hair.

Such a good idea! I reuse an empty oatmeal box, for the large size skein of yarn. I cut a hole in the edge of the lid to feed the yarn thru.
