I recently purchased the Spring/Summer 2011 issue of Vogue Knitting and loved seeing a whole page dedicated to yarn bowls. I love stoneware and I love the simplicity of keeping ones yarn in check. This week I went in search of yarn bowls, where I came across quite a few beautiful pieces that would be perfect to house even the most luxurious of yarns.
First up is Darrielles Clay Art, a local artisan that resides north of Phoenix in Cottonwood. In this Etsy shop, you will find a nice collection of yarn bowls in a variety of colors and glazes.

Second up is Blueroom Pottery of Minnesota. This Etsy artisan has a lovely collection of yarn bowls in many shapes, sizes, colors and glazes, all of which will keep your yarn in place.

Last is Little Pig Pottery of Middletown, Ohio. This Etsy artisan offers knitters unique one-of-a kind yarn bowls that are functional, funky and adorable, including the little lamb holder.

Hi Tina, I’m a knitter here in Glendale, AZ and have been following your blog for a little while now. I really enjoy it. I absolutely love those bowls. Do you think that the artisan from Darrielles Clay Art might have a booth at the Tempe Festival of the Arts this Weekend? I’d love to see, touch, feel, drool over them in person.
Hi Rhea! Thank you so much for following and I’m tickled you like my blog. I would suggest contacting them via convo on Etsy – I love their bowls too!
