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.

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.”

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