Made this project some time ago. 9/22, posted elsewhere, but now here. She ask for a yarn box that would hold large skeins of yarn and dispense them easily. The box is of Ambrosia Maple with 5 coats of poly, rubbed out and buffed smooth. Box is 9" x 7' x 7" 3/8" thick. Bottom is 1/8" Baltic Birch Ply. Staggered box joint on the corners cut on the router with Incra Jig. Laser was used to etch in the yarn balls and needles. The upper two holes in the end pieces are for knitting needles that bass through and into the yarn skein to keep things in order when not being used. Handle on the back for carrying and the J slot in the front for the yarn to come out.
Earlier posts had the uggrade for this box. A 6 yarn dispensing method. Have no idea what the daughter will make using up to 6 different yarns at the same timel The device simply straddles the front or back of the box allowing up to 6 strands of yarn to be dispensed at the same time. The add on is 11 1/2 " wide by 3" deep and 3" tall in Imperial measurements. No vara here. 10 brass screws, 3 boards all Ambrosia Maple. 3 coats of poly.
The entire setup is pure catnip, a box and bonus, full of yarn! I realize the ability to select different yarns probably makes the knitting project ever more enjoyable.
