Abstract
Described herein are embodiments of a yarn-carrying and dispensing apparatus. The embodiments described allow knitters to easily transport, carry and use balls of yarn for knitting and other knitting materials. The embodiments prevent the ball of yarn from rolling away or getting tangled or intertwined. The embodiments also easily and smoothly dispense the yarn, making the knitting more efficient and easier for the knitter. The embodiments provide additional elements to accommodate a knitter: (i) a ruler allowing, for example, to measure a knitting sampler; (ii) a needle gauge and needle openings, allowing, for example, to measure the size of a needle; and (3) an insert allowing, for example, to hold one or more balls of yarn.

A yarn-carrying and dispensing apparatus, comprising:
- a substantially hollow yarn-carrying portion that accommodates at least one ball of yarn, the yarn-carrying portion having a top portion, and a bottom portion, wherein the top portion and the bottom portion are connectable to each other;
- a disk shaped removable insert adapted to fit inside the yarn-carrying portion, the removable insert having a dividing wall formed on a surface of the removable insert, so that at least one ball of yarn can sit on the surface of the removable insert on either side of the dividing wall;
- and
- a ruler formed on the dividing wall.
A yarn-carrying and dispensing apparatus, comprising:
- a substantially hollow yarn-carrying portion that accommodates at least one ball of yarn, the yarn-carrying portion having a top portion, and bottom portion, wherein the top portion and the bottom portion are attachable to each other;
- wherein the yarn-carrying portion includes one or more yarn dispensing holes through which the yarn is dispensed from the yarn-carrying portion;
- and
- a skein and cone tool adapted to fit inside of the yarn-carrying portion, the skein and cone tool comprising a rod and two removable wheels, each removable wheel configured to fit securely between the top portion and bottom portion, and to connect to each end of the rod;
- wherein the skein and rod tool is adapted to stab one of a skein or a cone of yarn, such that the skein or the cone of yarn may rotate about the rod when yarn from one of the skein or the cone of yarn is dispensed through the one or more yarn dispensing holes in the yarn-carrying portion.
A yarn-carrying and dispensing apparatus, comprising:
- a substantially hollow yarn-carrying portion that accommodates at least one ball of yarn, the yarn-carrying portion having a top portion, and bottom portion, wherein the top portion and the bottom portion are connectable to each other, wherein the top portion includes a plurality of needle openings arranged along an ovular line ordered from smallest in diameter to largest in diameter, wherein the ovular line is about the top portion;
- a disk shaped removable insert adapted to fit inside the yarn-carrying portion, the removable insert having a dividing wall formed on a surface of the removable insert, so that at least one ball of yarn can sit on the surface of the removable insert on either side of the dividing wall.
