OHPHCALL 5-Pack Cardboard Tubes 6.88X1.96In Yarn Ball Winding Tubes Paper Operated Knitting Tube Accessories for Textile Machines and Crafts

I have a "box" that I set up with dowel rods to hold these with yarn wound on them for my tufting projects. Makes change-overs faster and easier. Anyone that does tufting, having several cones with different colors ready to work on a project just makes the process so much smoother and easier to complete the rug/hanging. Tufting is a step-by-step-by-step kind of thing and the more prepared you are when beginnig a project, the less stress in the crafting/art process. These may just be cones, but they make my art projects easier.

These tubes are just what I needed to accompany my yarn dispenser/holder which is made of wood. Putting yarn balls on the wooden dowel rods of the dispenser without using a tube caused the yarn to stick to the wood so it wouldn't spin as needed. These tubes will provide the smooth surface needed for the yarn to spin properly without getting stuck or flying off the dowel rod. These tubes are sturdy, durable cardboard - they'll last a long time. They're well balanced and remain standing even when full of yarn. The bottom measures 2 inches in diameter, the top measures 1 inch in diameter, and the tubes are 7 inches tall. These are top quality.

Makes for a much for convenient way to store yarn, if you don't have a winder this is a pain in the behind but its worth your time especially if you go through yarn quickly as it keeps the yarn from getting any knots as youre using the cone.
