Found one at the thrift store for $1.00. About the same size as the plastic yarn holders at Joanns with the hole in the center. I wanted a new yarn holder but I do not like the hole in the middle because what if I get tired of that project and want to switch? Enter the trusty Dremel tool and a cut off wheel. I cut a slit in the top all the way through the edges to the middle and lined the edge with electricians tape so the thread would not catch. Now I do not have to cut the thread to do another project. The slit in the lid is not big enough to weaken the lid and it slides off and on easily.

I probably will do that later. But I needed it immediately so took emergency action. ;>)

That is such a great idea! Maybe you could have slit a rubber grommet and placed it in the middle to help with yarn protection.

A rind is a terrible thing to waste. Compost.
When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”
