An upwardly opening generally rectangular receptacle including two pairs of opposite side walls is provided and a plurality of side-by-side upwardly opening generally semi-cylindrical bottom wall portions extend between and are supported from lower marginal portions of one pair of the side walls. A cover is removably secured over the top of the receptacle and adjacent portions of the semi-cylindrical bottom wall portions merge into upstanding partitions whose upper marginal edges are abutted by the top wall. The side walls project downwardly below the bottom wall portions and the latter define a false bottom, a bottom structure being removably secured under the lower marginal edges of the side walls defining a storage area between the upper side of the bottom structure and the under surface portions of the semi-cylindrical bottom wall portions. The top wall is provided with openings therethrough for receiving yarn strands from hanks of yarn resting upon the semi-cylindrical bottom wall portions and one peripheral portion of the receptacle is provided with a bail-type handle swingably supported therefrom and shiftable between a carrying handle defining position and a receptacle propping position whereby the receptacle may be propped in an inclined position on a horizontal surface.
A caddy for various yarns to be used in knitting and crocheting, said caddy including an upwardly opening receptacle defining a plurality of upwardly opening individual recesses defined by upwardly concave bottom wall portions, a cover removably secured over the top of said receptacle and including openings formed there-through in vertical registry with said recesses and operative to slidingly receive yarn sections therethrough wound into hanks disposed in said recesses, said receptacle including two pairs of opposite upstanding sides, said bottom wall portions being semi-cylindrical and formed integrally with each other and said sides and extending lengthwise between one pair of said sides, said sides extend downwardly below said bottom wall portions and the latter define a false bottom for said receptacle, and a generally horizontal bottom structure removably secured under said sides and defining a storage area between said horizontal bottom structure and said false bottom.
A caddy for various yarns to be used in knitting and crocheting, said caddy including an upwardly opening receptacle defining a plurality of upwardly opening individual recesses defined by upwardly concave bottom wall portions, a cover removably secured over the top of said receptacle and including openings formed there-through in vertical registry with said recesses and operative to slidingly receive yarn sections therethrough wound into hanks disposed in said recesses, said receptacle includes two pairs of opposite upstanding sides, said bottom wall portions being semi-cylindrical and formed integrally with each other and said sides and extending lengthwise between one pair of said sides, said one pair of opposite side walls including inwardly opening recesses generally centered with the axes of curvature of said bottom wall portions, and a support rod disposed in each upwardly opening recess with its opposite ends removably supportingly received in the corresponding inwardly opening recesses.
A caddy for various yarns to be used in knitting and crocheting, said caddy including an upwardly opening receptacle defining a plurality of upwardly opening individual recesses defined by upwardly concave bottom wall portions, a cover removably secured over the top of said receptacle and including openings formed there-through in vertical registry with said recesses and operative to slidingly receive yarn sections therethrough wound into hanks disposed in said recesses, one end portion of said receptacle includes a pivoted bail-type handle, said handle being swingable between a first position projecting endwise outwardly of said one end portion of said receptacle and a second position projecting outwardly of the bottom of said receptacle disposed generally normal to the longitudinal extent thereof, said receptacle and handle including means operative to releasably retain said handle in said first and second positions as well as a plurality of relatively angularly displaced positions there-between.
A caddy for various yarns to be used in knitting and crocheting, said caddy including an upwardly opening receptacle defining a plurality of upwardly opening individual recesses defined by upwardly concave bottom wall portions, a cover removably secured over the top of said receptacle and including openings formed therethrough in vertical registry with said recesses and operative to slidingly receive yarn sections therethrough wound into hanks disposed in said recesses, said receptacle including two pairs of opposite upstanding sides, said bottom wall portions being semi-cylindrical and formed integrally with each other and said sides and extending lengthwise between one pair of said sides, the inner portions of the upper marginal edges of said sides being stepped for receiving said cover between the stepped upper marginal edges of said sides.
