Linda,

I am interested in finding out more about that yarn holder that you are
describing.  If you find the name please do post it!
Thanks!

Dixie

The device I have is not a pouch. It is made of metal, completely, and very 
light weight and thin.  It is a metal wire bracelet, with a wooden ball at 
each end. And, suspended on that bracelet is a shape that is an upside down 
"V" and long. At each end of the V, is the two little wooden ball shapes 
that are on the very ends. Looks like an upside down Christmas Tree shape, 
but very slender. You put your yarn onto this V, and the ends spread out and

the balls hold the yarn onto it. It is very trim and neat. Your yarn is 
suspended there from your wrist, in the air, and there is no container or 
bag of any kind over it. The top of the V is held onto the bracelet by a 
latch.

the way it works is that you unlatch the V from the bracelet. Then you put 
the top of the V through the center of your yarn. It slides down a bit and 
the little balls at the end of the V hold it in place.  Then you latch the 
bracelet back onto the top of the upside down V...and you knit.  It is very 
slick and sophisticated - very sharp looking and modern.

I will ask my friend today where she got these and what it is called. I have

never seen anything like it in any magazines or any stores.
