This is the one I loved:

If you go to etsy.com and search "yarn bowls" it will come up with many examples.

This is very pretty. I've never seen one like this before but I think it's very clever. (I have seen something similiar for cooking but it's a mixing bowl with small little side spout for pouring liquids like pancake batter. The potter I like to go to on rare occasions makes them.)

On the other hand, a couple people in my needle work group have made / bought yarn jugs. Basically they've taken large mouth jars with lids and put holes in the lids. Well, I'm not sure if they've actually made them but that's what they use. Either way, it's a cool idea. I should check out the local yarn store to see if they have something along those lines.

I've never seen one and for whatever reason my comp is blocking sites today but try taking a clay pot that has a hole in the bottom and place it upsidedown over your ball of yarn (on the floor or on a tabl) and feed the yarn through the pot drain hole...done and done frugally! Really you could make it as fancy as you want or leave it plain!

dcompton,

momof2boys2005 has an excellent idea. If you have a clay pot in the house, or if not, you can get fancy with something like this for $2:
