I love mine...

But the cat hates it.

I can imagine...so close but....

My mother had a brown paper bag as her yarn bowl and a soft cotton bag from rolled oats for when she was knitting baby clothes.

Yep I do Oh_hunnihunni...

Mine came from overseas, I cant remember what wood it is but Im thinking rubber wood rings a bell.

Sort of has a Koru carved in it for the yarn.

I have always wanted one , esp the handmade pottery quirky face with the wool coming out the nostril ..lol
Though I rarely work with only one strand of wool .
I sometimes see them for sale on felt .

Mine was made for me by a very talented wood turner from the local club. It is a lovely thing and I really enjoy using it. There is something super cool about hand knitting real wool from a real wooden - rather gorgeous bit of wood too - hand made bowl. I recommend it.

I just wish my knitting was better to warrant coming from such a beautiful container.

I have several made by a woodturner on the central plateau.... probably the same one as oh_hunnihunni. SEVERAL. I must be their best customer. I LOVE 'em all, beautifully made and beautiful to look at in their own right.
Put yarn bow, specify NZ, and keep watching. This guy's work is snapped up.

Mine was made by a friend here on the North Shore, but I agree, they are a delight to work with. There's just something lovely about a gorgeous ball of yarn nestled in a beautiful wooden bowl.
