Yarn Bobbin Holder for Crochet & Knitting

Keep your yarn organized, tangle-free, and effortlessly accessible with this innovative Yarn Bobbin Holder, designed for crocheters and knitters who work with multiple colors or bobbins.

Key Features:

• Dual rotating bobbin sleeves – Spin freely on split-spring pegs, allowing smooth yarn unwinding as you work.
• Optimized clearance – Designed not too tight (to prevent snagging) and not too loose (to avoid unraveling).
• Offset peg placement – Enables easy yarn routing for a frustration-free experience.
• Secure split-spring pegs – Prevents bobbin sleeves from lifting while allowing for quick rearrangement when needed.
• Expandable design – Features an expansion slide, enabling you to connect an infinite number of bobbins for larger projects.
• Print extra sleeves as needed – Great for using up the last bits of filament on a roll that aren't enough for a full project.

Whether you're working on intricate colorwork or simply managing multiple yarns, this bobbin holder keeps your workspace neat and efficient!

Bobbin Assembly Instructions (SEE VIDEO IN GALLERY):

1. Insert the split peg through one of the holes on the base plate from the underside and seat the peg inside the cavity, making sure it’s flush with the bottom of the base plate.
2. Repeat for the second peg.
3. Slide the bobbin sleeves over each split peg until you hear a click, locking the sleeves vertically in place.
4. To remove a bobbin sleeve, simply pinch the split of the peg together and gently slide the sleeve upwards to remove.
5. To attach an additional bobbin holder, insert the expansion slide into the channel on the base plate, leaving half the slide extending past the base plate.
6. Then, slide the next bobbin holder assembly onto the extended slide.
7. Repeat the process for each additional bobbin holder.

Disclaimer:

The Yarn Bobbin Holder is designed to be used on a tabletop or any stable surface. As long as the bottom of the holder is supported, you should be able to easily move an assembled series of bobbin holders from one location to another without any issue. The more bobbin holders attached in series, the more careful you need to be.
