Cost: $35.00

Find out more about this product

Some of the most beautiful projects come from patterns that require crocheting with two strands at once or changing color frequently, but that can quickly turn into a major headache when you have double the skeins of yarn rolling around. This Lazy Susan is an ingenious way to keep from getting tangled up. It unwinds your yarn smoothly and looks beautiful while doing so—as a matter of fact, it’s handmade from maple wood with a honey-tinted finish.

Like a stopwatch attached to your crocheting fingers, this handy device helps you keep track of your rows hassle-free. You press the large center button once you reach the end of a row, and the device will add it to your tally—it really is that simple. Some projects are too big to try to keep track of in your head, especially since distractions are bound to pop up (it seems like kids and pets have a knack for running in right when you’re counting). This easy flick of your thumb is a convenient alternative to having to free up a hand to write a number down. Now, you can just relax and enjoy the process.
