NIRMAN Handcrafted Wooden Yarn Bowl: Made by Indian Artisans using Premium Mango Wood for Knitting and Crochet Review

Nice bowl, but craving for it comes from a rough surface that doesn't look like it has been sanded or stained

Not impressed. Very small bowl, especially when working with thicker materials. In addition, the yarn is hardly sanded where it is threaded and therefore spoils your yarn, causing it to roll and fray. Spend a little more money and get a nice yarn bowl. It's not like this. Update 09/06/2020 The company refunded my money and apologized for the unsatisfactory experience.

I really like this bowl! The workmanship is excellent, the color is beautiful. The product photos do not correspond to reality. However, the product name mentions "knitting holes". You are not in the bowl. As in the picture itself, there is only one carved curl guiding the yarn. You can use a swirler to hold the needles, which I do if the needles you're using aren't too big. But there are no holes in the bowl, despite what is written on the article.

This yarn bowl is cute, but that's about it. A small wooden bowl with rough edges too abrasive to thread. It has a good finish on the outside but the inside needs sanding to be used with yarn. There are NO extra holes for knitting needles/storage hooks as stated in the description! If you use skeins other than skeins like I do, this bowl will be too small for the skeins. I'll take a tip from another reviewer and use mine as a planter.
