After purchasing one of these yarn trainers from Knitting Warehouse for a friend, I thought, hey, I could use one too! I did wonder though if I’d like it or not because it does look a little weird. I was concerned that it would be bulky to carry around. But I have to say, I love this baby! I want to get more in different sizes too. It is very light-weight, and so far it is keeping my yarn from becoming tangled up. Between the dogs and cats, I have had major issues with trying to explain to them that the yarn is not one of their toys, so this has done a great job of protecting it from dog mouths and cat paws!
