[Nfb-krafters-korner] Keeping Yarn on Cones Upright

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

As long as the cones can not get away from you, the pulling of the yarn, when working with it, will make the cones turn.  As I said, bags will work, plastic londry basket, a box, anything to keep them off the floor and so they can not run away from you.
You are making it harder than it is.
Enjoy.

I have put cones in a cardboard box and put box below my loom.    to keep 
them from rolling.  Even if you have small paper basket and put 1  in each basket.

I bought  cotton yarn from kmart.com for a baby blanket I want to make and it came on  cones. I want a simple mechanism to keep the cones upright as I knit with a  loom, which means I will be using strands from two cones at the same time.  Any ingenious ideas? I've thought of a board with two dowels, but that means a trip to Home Depot which cannot happen until this weekend. I  mostly don't want the cones rolling around, getting tangled, picking up dog  fur from the hard wood floor and tempting my dog to play with a new soft  chew toy.
