Well, you can think of it as a "Lazy Susan" for your yarn.

The yarn buddy consists of two circular wooden discs connected with a ball bearing lazy susan and a spindle to hold the yarn. The ball bearing lazy susan allows the top disc of the yarn buddy to spin freely as it feeds out the yarn. The lower disc sits on the work surface and is held in place with grip pads. The grip pads keep the yarn buddy from slipping around and will not scratch or mar the work surface.

The lazy susan ball bearings are recessed into the discs. Recessing the bearing reduces the gap between the top and bottom disc, making it unlikely that the yarn can get caught.

You wind your skeins of yarn into a ball and then place the yarn cake onto the wooden spindle. As you crochet, knit, weave,etc. you pull yarn from the outside of the yarn ball. The yarn spins effortlessly as you knit or crochet. The spindle holds the yarn in place.

Yarn can be easily added or removed from the spindle.

The yarn buddy is completely portable.

Each Yarn Buddy is handcrafted, finely sanded, then finished for beauty and durability. The yarn buddy is then sealed with a finishing wax and buffed to a high luster.

The dimensions of a the Yarn Buddy are approximately 4.5 inches by 7 inches.
Spindle height is approximately 7 1/2" (measured from the top of the base to the top of the spindle).

I use only local buying and exotic hardwoods that are sustainably harvested

The yarn buddy can be made in various woods (purple heart, bloodwood, padauk, white oak, etc.). If you would like a custom yarn buddy made from special woods, please let me know.
