Description

This handmade ceramic yarn bowl was thrown on my potters wheel using strong white stoneware clay. The spiral to thread your yarn through was carved out of the bowl whilst still damp. After being fired in my kiln the bowl was glazed in a duo of deep purple and sea blue reactive glazes. The effect of the two glazes merging together in the second kiln firing create this wonderful and unique mottled effect.

No two bowls will ever be exactly the same. The pictured item is the one you will receive.

Height: 95mm
Diameter at rim: 150mm

The ball of wool pictured is a 50g ball of double knit (not included), there is ample extra room for larger balls of wool.

All of my items will be well packaged prior to shipping, I’d hate for anything to get damaged in the mail. Happy to combine shipping, post worldwide and all of my items are made and ready for immediate dispatch.

    Thank you! Bowl arrived very quickly and the item is so beautiful. The colours are so good and it has great weight to it which should be perfect so it doesn’t move when using it! Can’t wait to give it to my colleague!

    I adore this yarn bowl it obviously works but not only that it looks fantastic. It feels very sturdy. This is my second yarn bowl and should any fate befall this bowl (I have three young child ??) I will definitely return to thrown in stone for another. Delivery was speedy too. Big thanks

    Second purchase from Gary in a few days. Beautiful heavy bowl with a gorgeous shiny glaze in my favourite colours. As with my previous purchase, very well wrapped and protected so that it arrived in pristine condition. Shipped promptly. Smooth curl ‘cut out’ for feeding the yarn through without snagging. Very happy customer, who is eyeing up a lot of other products and dreaming up custom orders.

    I adore this bowl; it’s everything I hoped for and more. I love the colours, how nicely the yarn sits in it and the way it seems to sing when the yarn goes through the slot when I give it a little pull. I’ve recommended you to lots of my friends and they all love it too! Many thanks.

    The second yarn bowl I have bought (this one is for me) and I am as equally delighted as with the first. Great service, communication, product and packaging. I would gladly pay more for Gary’s work, his prices are very reasonable. I’m a happy customer.

    arrived the day after I ordered it, so that was a great start, the packaging peanuts are biodegradable, so that’s good too, but then the actual yarn bowl…it’s heavy enough to cope with pulling a knotty bit of yarn through without pulling the bowl too, it’s a great shape for holding the fresh ball of yarn, and it is aesthetically pleasing too. Gave it as a gift, and need one for myself, thank you very much, very pleased : )

How It’s Made

By Hand.

All of my work is handmade, predominetly on a potter’s wheel. Once the clay has been prapared the ball is transfered onto the wheel where the form is pulled. Once made, the peice is left to dry slightly overnight to a leather hard consistency before hopping right back onto the wheel to be trimmed with turning tools to remove any excess clay and refine the shape.

Once the clay has fully dried out after a week or two it goes into the kiln for the first firing – the bisque – where it will be slowly heated to 1030ยฐc. The piece is then ready to glaze. Glaze is a slurry of different clays, chemicals and metal oxides which melt in the second kiln firing to create a glass-like surface, the metal oxides creating the colours. During this final firing the kiln will reach 1220ยฐc.
