Description:
This yarn holder uses uses maple hardwood and a blend of plastic-free finishes. The maple is American domestic hardwood, which is sustainably-managed using industry best practices. We made it entirely by hand in a smoke-free environment; in fact, except for the the center hole in the base, we only used hand powers for the entire piece, including milling. The yarn holder is finished it with 1 coat of boiled linseed oil and resin (thinned) and 2 coats of boiled linseed oil and beeswax. Altogether, the wood in this yarn holder has a visually striking shine to it, without being overpoweringly glossy. Also, unlike most modern finishes, this method is entirely plastic-free and traditional. This style of yarn holder is great for holding yarn, especially cones, for fiber crafts of any kind.
