How to make a yarn bowl | Wood turning project

Making tools for yourself is always great, and I especially love it when I can combine different crafts. In this case, I decided that since I wanted to learn how to make a bowl, I might as well make a yarn bowl. Now I have a beautiful handmade bowl that will keep my yarn from rolling away while I knit. Using my forged knitting needles of course ;)

Great video and project. Perfect pace and the right amount of information. Thank you.

[@AndyCPugh]

What a nice bowl. Great rescue!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thanks Andy!

[@titacrafts6643]

Such a beautiful wood piece. I knit and crochet as well and I'm looking into yarn bowl.

[@AshleyMinney]

That grain pattern 😍 what a fine job you did!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Right?? Thank you Ashley!

[@marcushalvorsen5189]

You’re very talented! Beautiful bowl!

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

Absolutely beautiful! Nicely done, miss!

[@davebauerart]

Looks cool, and it's great that you could learn a new skill and make a useful tool for yourself.

[@CraftsWithEllen]

My favourite kind of project :)

[@AndreBandarra1]

That's awesome! Impressive looking especially for your first bowl! Well done Ellen! :D

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thanks André!

[@coachingangels]

Amazing job. 👏

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Great looking bowl! Thanks for sharing your process 👍

[@FigmentsMade]

A beautiful bowl and so useful too! I think hiding ones crimes is one of the best skills to have to be a successful maker.

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Absolutely 👍

[@KennethColeStatenIsland]

Good for you. Nice video, ty.

[@mirror318808ify]

Jane of all trades you are so cool!

[@markr.1584]

Great job. What is the Diameter?

[@ThedwarfsizedWorkshop]

Lovely Bowl and perfect catch of that mistake, err, happy little accident.

[@BeckyStern]

This is so great! Thanks for sharing your experience. Yarn bowls are so seriously useful, too.

[@CraftsWithEllen]

I love it when I can make something that's both pretty and useful 😄

[@SylviePereiraSyPer]

True ! the yarn bowl is gorgeous and the shavings are beautiful. You are new to wood turning, but I'm sure you have a great futur ! Keep on turning ;)

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thanks so much Sylvie, you were a great help during this project!

[@ellieboa]

super interesting to hear turning advice from a beginner's point of view! and it turned out great

[@alfkey4155]

if leaving green wood overnight , put a damp sponge inside and cover with a damp clothe or leave the hollowing till the next day ,, it looks as if you are standing too close to the lathe ,lower your right hand and hold the handle into your hip , move your hip not your hand , breaking out on one side could be down to the wood warping or the lathe not being centred ,,Regards Alf ,,,, PS watch Tim Yoder's KZbin channel

[@marienaailes]

Prachtig! Heel mooi gemaakt een kunstwerk!

[@gmorris465]

You need to take a lot of classes! Why not wear a turning smock and stay clean. Very bad turning.

[@davidjillmeade5450]

Get some instruction on the use of a chain saw before you hurt yourself seriously.

He was a wise man

[@AdirondackIron]

Wow, really nice work! I have a whole pile of cracked bowls that I know what to do with now :)

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Yarn bowls for everyone!!

[@jamiefranklinakabbj5172]

You're a jack of all trades. Wonderful job.

[@JohnMadeit]

it turned out very nice.i think you took on a very adventures project for your 1st go on the wood lath

[@CraftsWithEllen]

That's how I roll, haha 😂 And to be fair, I do have some experience spindle turning. Bowls are just a whole different beast

[@reforzar]

Amazing. What can’t you do?!

[@ianmorris52]

Really informative video

[@garagemonkeysan]

Nice video. Lovely bowl, so thin. Great example of accentuating a mistake instead of hiding it. : ) Mahalo for sharing!

[@siegfriedmai7549]

very nice bowl :-)

[@PreshKidd1887]

This is so badass!!

[@JENNISWISS]

nice work👍

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thanks Lukas!

[@jojorengers5368]

Super mooi

[@Madein515]

Looks awesome!

[@MrJimbo3b]

Very nice!

[@charlievelez3510]

THANK YOU for showing us the real life behind wood turning. It all seems easy until someone actually shows us the real incidents that hpn lol! Once again, thank you very much!

[@peterc938]

Sweet

[@SCRAPWOODTOCRAFTWOOD]

Nice bowl Ellen liked the video

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thanks!

[@VailsMom]

How lovely! It was joy to watch you learn, describe your process and succeed so beautifully. Well done.

[@laurenrodes5369]

What an amazing turn out! Hard work definitely pays off. Your yarn bowl turned out gorgeous!

[@mopemaster]

Nice looking bowl 👏🏻✅👍🏻

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thanks Axel 👍

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Beautiful work 👍 👍

[@CraftsWithEllen]

😄

[@janverzee9423]

Mooi, je hebt meer talenten dan je dacht!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Bedankt Jan :)

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Great work, and really clever crime hideing!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

When you're not a pro, you gotta be clever 😉

[@CrudeButEfficient]

@@CraftsWithEllen It clearly helps! I haven't done much turning, and never tried to start with something so non-cylindrical - looks legit scary...

[@GibClark]

Awesome !!!!!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thank you Gib 😊

[@mariellecb1]

Excellent video and beautiful result. It took me forever to understand the tool geometry and how that relates to catches. Even once I understood it, I still made catches! Even the pros still make a catch during demos. I like your attitude on 'crime' 😁

[@CraftsWithEllen]

It does mess up the brain a little. But I'm getting better :) Thanks Marielle

[@KarolineHinz]

So pretty!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

😊❤

[@MichaelKieweg]

Nicely done! When I first saw the title of the video, I thought you go all Peter Brown.

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Haha, I can see how you'd think that 😂

[@MichaelKieweg]

@@CraftsWithEllen : I was a little bit careless and my wife saw your video. Now she wants a yarnbowl and I have to find a way to do it without a lathe.....

[@CraftsWithEllen]

@@MichaelKieweg Haha, watching maker videos around loved ones is risky business 😅

[@paulriggs42]

Looks fantastic

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thanks Paul!

[@sampleexamplemusic]

i love your videos, because you're implementing making for another purpose, so much out there is just people making things randomly for making's sake. which i can sense a mile away! Great job!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thanks Robert!

[@toddbaker64]

That bowl is freaking awesome! Wish you would sell some of your projects...I'd love to buy that bowl! Another great job and another great video!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

It only took me two full days to make, haha 😅

[@mamabearssheshedtracykeato6941]

I truly think this is beautiful! Working outside of our comfort zone sometimes can yield the best results! Many blessings to you and your Channel!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

It can be quite fun to venture out of that confort zone 😄

[@johneather5163]

A great job and credit to you. Most of my jobs turn out the same way, not exactly what I’m trying for but pleasing to the eye anyway. I reckon I’m a pretty average wood turner but a pretty good wood sander! Great job.

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Good thing sanding on a lathe is so easy, it makes us look good ;)

[@armin0815]

Just recently had my first hand at wood turning and a lot when watching felt very familiar. My results so far are dimensions away from your bowl though, great work!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

So many catches 😆

[@PurpleRavenKitty]

It's funny that your mistake during turning the inside gave that bowl a unique style ! I love that curvy cut-out.

[@CraftsWithEllen]

I love it too 😊 I did intend for a curvy cut-out like that, but I had to make it a lot bigger to cover the holes. Gives it a really cool look though

[@bonilla2022]

Beautiful woodcraft! Nice grain in the finished bowl . Bravo for a started project! :-)

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thanks Frank!

[@aneesahsatriya]

This is amazing! I love the look of wooden bowls and customising the function for another craft is genius!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thank you Aneesah 😊

[@FredMcIntyre]

Beautiful bowl Ellen! 😍👌🏻 Awesome work!👍🏻👊🏻

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thanks Fred 👍

[@mdhebert]

Damn, that's a lovely bowl ... and your first one? Impressive!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

I almost can't believe that I made it myself..

[@madisonmazur6733]

How very beautiful! I enjoyed your video and it gets me excited to craft again!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

That's great!

[@JamesBowers]

Beautiful bowl and a nice video. Thanks for sharing!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

My pleasure James 😊

[@Kkuts37]

WOW! Great for the first time! Looks fabulous! :)

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thank you Kathleen! I'm very pleased with it 😊

[@MakerOnTheMove]

Love it. It turned out great!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thanks!

[@GrahamDallas]

That turned (!) out wonderful, great work.

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thanks Graham!

[@miqueldomingo7864]

Great to turn mistakes to successes. I love it.

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Thanks Miquel!

[@nickthomasson]

Awesome. Keep on improving! 🎉

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Always :)

[@whazee]

Such a gorgeous bowl! 😍 That cherry really is lovely.

[@CraftsWithEllen]

It really is. And I have another piece from the same log to practice with 😃

[@whazee]

@@CraftsWithEllen ooh! Version 2 or something new?

[@JockMcBile]

VERY cool, VERY pretty. Also, it was cool seeing Laura Kampf being t-shirt, shouted out. Also, very soothing watching all the scraps fly off.
