Apparatus and method for managing craft supplies

A method of managing yarn, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a substantially flat, disc-shaped base, the base comprising a slot;
• providing a spindle, the spindle having a flat, planar cross-sectional shape extending upwardly from the base, wherein the flat planar shape of the spindle is configured to receive and support a yarn ball wound thereon, the spindle comprising:
• a head;
• a shaft;
• and
• a distal end, the distal end comprising a pair of laterally spaced arms, and
• inserting the head of the spindle through the slot in the base, thereby supporting the base on laterally spaced arms without the use of threaded fasteners.

A yarn holder device, comprising:

• a base having a substantially flat, disc-shaped body, the body comprising a slot;
• a spindle having a flat, planar cross-sectional shape extending upwardly from the base, the spindle comprising two laterally spaced arms, wherein the flat planar shape of the spindle is configured to receive and support a yarn ball wound thereon;
• and
• a head element at an end of the spindle, the head element comprising an aperture extending therethrough,
• wherein the two arms of the spindle engage the base by extending through the slot in the base and are secured to the base without the use of threaded fasteners.
