Here is a link to the previous post with the biggest skein ever
The 3- 1lbs skeins of yarn wrapped onto a wrapping paper roll was a nightmare! It didn't wrap evenly, and in turn came off unevenly with sometimes one or two strands being longer than the other... it made making the blanket a little difficult.
Now I wanted to make a similar blanket with a large hook (not a Q this time though) I believe its an H or an I, and a different pattern but still with 3- 1lb skeins. So I thought and thought of ways I could make this work, because unraveling 3 separate skeins was a pain in the butt!
So I thought and thought... and then while flipping through an LTD catalogue while at work, I saw this ...

Which gave me the idea for my creation! Obviously that little thing they have looks pretty flimsy if you look at the larger view, and there is no way my large 1 lb skeins would fit in there.
Then it came to me... make my own! And so I did... and for only $9.01!! I went to walmart and got a clear storage tub
That's a great idea Becky! I wouldn't have thought of that! It looks great and I'm excited to see the finished project. :)
