Abstract
A yarn organizer holds the different colors of yarn required for a needlcraft project. The organizer is in the form of a flat card member having holes adjacent to the edges of the card. The holes are uniformly spaced from the edges and uniformly spaced apart, to maintain the rigidity of the card. The holes are of different diameters for convenience in holding different sizes of bundles of yarn. One surface of the card is adapted for writing so an identification of the yarns can be placed on the card adjacent to each hole.
Claims8
A yarn organizer, for organizing different colors of yarn for use in a needlecraft project, said organizer comprising a card having at least one edge, said card defining a plurality of holes therein adjacent to said at least one edge, each hole of said plurality of holes being adapted to receive a bundle of yarns therethrough and knotted between said hole and said at least one edge, said plurality of holes comprising holes of different sizes for receiving different sizes of bundles of yarn, each hole of said plurality of holes being spaced from said at least one edge by a predetermined distance that is equal for all holes of said plurality of holes, each hole of said plurality of holes being spaced from adjacent holes by a predetermined distance that is equal for all holes of said plurality of holes, said predetermined distance between holes being sufficient to maintain the strength of said card, and said plurality of holes being arranged with the smallest hole generally in the center of said card and increasing sizes of holes toward each end of said card.
In combination, a needlecraft project wherein a plurality of different colors of yarn is required, each color of yarn of said plurality of different colors of yarn having a unique identification, various quantities of said different colors of yarn being required for completion of said project, and a yarn organizer for said plurality of different colors of yarn, said yarn organizer including a card having at least one edge, said card defining a plurality of holes therein adjacent to said at least one edge, each hole of said plurality of holes being adapted to receive one quantity of said various quantities of said yarn therethrough and knotted between said hole and said at least one edge, said plurality of holes comprising holes of different sizes for receiving different quantities of yarn, said card having a second edge generally parallel to said one edge, said card defining a second plurality of holes adjacent to said second edge, said plurality of holes being arranged with the smallest hole generally in the center of said card and increasing sizes of holes towards each end of said card, said second plurality of holes being arranged with the largest hole generally in the center of said card, and decreasing sizes of holes towards each end of said card.
A yarn organizer, for organizing different colors of yarn for use in a needlecraft project, said organizer comprising a card having at least one edge, said card defining a plurality of holes therein adjacent to said at least one edge, each hole of said plurality of holes being adapted to receive a bundle of yarns therethrough and knotted between said hole and said at least one edge, said plurality of holes comprising holes of different sizes for receiving different sizes of bundles of yarn, each hole of said plurality of holes being spaced from said at least one edge by a predetermined distance that is equal for all holes of said plurality of holes, each hole of said plurality of holes being spaced from adjacent holes by a predetermined distance that is equal for all holes of said plurality of holes, said predetermined distance between holes being sufficient to maintain the strength of said card, and said plurality of holes being arranged with the largest hole generally in the center of said card and decreasing sizes of holes toward each end of said card.
