ArtBin 6805SA Yarn Drum, Portable Knitting & Crochet Storage, [1] Poly Canvas Tote Bag, Raspberry

Not hot pink as pictured (it's red), needs help to stand up, but overall I'm satisfied with it
First, I will say that I do like this product; however, there are two things to know. First, the color is more red than pink. The picture makes it look like a pretty pink color, it is not. Since it is a functional piece, this is of less concern to me than if it were say a purse that I absolutely wanted to be pink. Second, this bag has no internal structure to hold it upright, it collapses unless it is STUFFED full of yarn. I found a solution to that by using a 12x18" ultra stiff plastic canvas piece turned on its side so the 12" side is standing in the height of the bag - a perfect fit. The 18" side wraps about 75% inside the circumference of the bag, which is enough to give the bag structure to stand open. I got this when it was on sale for about $9, so I am thrilled with it even though I had to make some adjustments to make it work for me. I think even at full price, I would be satisfied.

Nice surprise!
I am so glad I ordered this! I have a big bulky, plastic, not portable, yarn caddy I've been using for years here at home. It's not made to be portable and it doesn't even hold any of my projects, except maybe pot holders!) and I was using a large tote to take my projects with me. I wanted something that looked and traveled better. This one holds my yarn and small projects (up to a baby blanket) so there's no need for a second bag... I usually don't take large projects with me anyway. I love the optional use strap and the mesh pocket on the front of the bag is the perfect size for my double thick zippered crochet case. There was a slight odor, but it was hardly noticeable and went away quickly. Well worth the small price! (And to the reviewer who used cardboard to help it keep it's shape when it's not full... brilliant!)

Color isn't as bright as photo...
It is not BRIGHT raspberry color. It is darker than that. I fit 5 skeins of Bernat Blanket EZ in it without any issue - and the carrying strap is handy too. I haven't really used it yet, other than putting the yarn into it for size, but I am pretty sure it is going to be used all the time. I like that the openings for the yarn are not just tiny holes as well. And I loved the price! Now that I have this one, I can say for certain that the smaller one would be too small unless you were only working with one skein or two and didn't have to carry much else with you.

“Raspberry“ is more RED than pink
“Raspberry” is NOT PINK. Pretty good bag for yarn but quite disappointed in the color difference from photo in the listing to the real item. The photo must have been altered or something for the posting. See photo for actual color.

Practical, one-project bag. Good deal
Nice second bag when you don't want to take all your knitting with you; especially if you have multiple projects. This is definitely a ONE project bag. Wish it had another pocket on the inside for small things like scissors, needles, cable holders, etc. There is a pocket on the outside, but it is open at the top and if knocked over, you can easily lose those little doo-dads. However, good for extra yarn, folded pattern, etc.

Daughter loves this
Our daughter wanted a yarn drum (like her mum has) for her knitting. She loves this. It holds a lot of yarns as well as her knitting form(s). She hasn't started with knitting needles yet but she will likely soon. There is a ton of space in this. I think if you get an external (small) bag to attach to it you could take loads of needles or hooks with you as well (or just store them). Great value!

Helps keep yarn orderly
This yarn container will hold at least 5 large yarn rolls. I got this as a gift for a knitting lover. It comes in a variety of colors. The color choices aren't exactly my favorite but they make them easy to see. The straps are really useful for carrying. I like ho wit has extra pouches. I also like that it fits a lot of yarn inside. It is useful for organizational purposes.

Yarn bum review
Have purchased three of the bins for gifts after I received one. So easy to transport yarn and needles. Perfect for long trips in cars. Great choice for avid needlers.

Robust and impressive looking storage solution
Now I don’t know much about knitting let me tell you. But I bought this for my mum who is always good for a woolly hat or two and she absolutely loves it. She took it during a stay in hospital and it held everything she needed. It feels very well made and durable not to mention impressive looking. The colour options are nice and varied although i opted for the pink as it was a lot cheaper than the other colours making it great value for money. So much so that I purchased a second for my wife!

A gorgeous bag - useful but lovely looking too!
I adore this storage bag! I hadn't seen anything quite like it before and chose this one as it was reasonably priced, a great colour, and had all the features of more expensive bags of this kind. I didn't waste any time - my bag already holds my current project, which as I'm using two colours of yarn, is proving most useful and I'm not getting in a pickle! It was a very good price and delivery was fast, I may go back for another!

Very Handy...
Good size for most projects but had to make a cardboard liner for it so it would stand upright regardless of how much yarn was inside. Has worked perfectly since...maybe the makers should supply it with a rigid liner in the first place 🤔🤗

Very happy!
Excellent value for money, it holds enough yarn for a reasonably sized project and the pocket on the front is ideal for my box of bits and pieces (stitch markers etc). My only gripe is that I have to zip it up to move it but in the grand scheme of things, that's bearable.
