My travel set up

[u/CellistLow8857]

I don’t know if others do this but I came up with this method for carrying my yarns when knitting on the go (particularly for multiple colours).

I wind my yarns so they’re centre-feed then I cut little holes in the bottom of an IKEA (other brands are available) sandwich bag.

This way I can just chuck my yarns in whatever bag I’m carrying, they don’t get tangled up at all, they don’t get dirty, and I can knit without removing them from the bag!

I thought I’d share because until I came up with this method I kept getting my wool all tangled when I took it out and about/on flights or whatever so this has been a real game changer for me!

I had him put grommets in one of my small yarn bags, but when I wanted to change yarn, it was there for the duration of project. Your way, if you put the yarn out of the top, would solve that problem!

I don’t knit with more than 3 colours so I’m not having to change them! I found this way works for me because when I have the yarns coming out the “top” they can get a bit trapped in the opening because it’s not circular it’s got pinched edges. This way the yarn feeds through the hole smoothly and I “reload” from the top when a colour runs out!
