Will You Be Using More Than One Color Of Yarn?
When you are deciding on a yarn bag you should also think about if you will be using more than one color of yarn.
For example, if you are really into intarsia, then you may need a special bag that can separate your colors and help you to keep everything tidy and untwisted as you work.
Or you may have many WIPs on the go and may need a variety of bags to keep all of your projects organized.
Choosing A Yarn Organizer
Once you decide on where and when you will be knitting, it will be time to decide on a yarn bag or yarn organizer.
A simple yarn bag can be a cotton bag or canvas tote with long handles that you can easily use or place inside your luggage etc when travelling.
A more complicated yarn organizer will have many pockets and compartments for you to store all of your essentials, patterns and of course yarn!
