Storing and dispensing yarn can be a nightmare - the above picture shows one of the worst ways to do it. Yes, this photo is from my classroom, but I have come a long way since piling up all my tangled yarn in a cardboard box! Check out all these tips for keeping your sanity when dispensing yarn to students. With all these ideas, train your students to leave a "tail" so the yarn doesn't get lost. Also, have early finishers wind yarn around toilet paper tubes or cardboard cones. This brilliant idea is from Abbie Burge, shared on the High School Art Teachers Facebook page. She has a bit of tape on each cardboard tube where the end of the yarn can be found. I love this! 1. Create a yarn caddy by using large plastic tubs with drilled holes for yarn dispensing - this picture is from art teacher Tracy Triplett: 2. Or, drill holes in the lid of a large plastic container (ornament containers go on sale after Christmas!): 3. Use soda bottles with the bottoms cut off - stored upside down, the yarn is dispensed through the spout - photo from pinterest.com 4. Or try using fast food ice cream containers: photo from pinterest.com 5. Use a laundry basket - the holes provide a dispensing mechanism: photo from pinterest.com these give me some ideas, too: 6. A shoe organizer also works well for dispensing yarn! photo from pinterest.com 7. cheap drink containers from the dollar store: photo from pinterest.com 8. Wipe containers repurposed: photo from pinterest.com 9. Get full directions on how to use a small plastic container to make a yarn caddy here: Yarn Holder DIY, Chatter Box Jenn 10. Yarn Hacks from Heart Handmade UK 11. Super Handy Yarn Cart, Jessica Balsley, theartofed 12. Lezley Stiff says, "I use the soda bottles, cut off the bottom, hole punch near the top to hold a thumb tack into the bulletin board. It's perfect because they can see all the colors before they choose one, and I put the rainbow yarn on the bottom row. It took a while to get it setup, but now it is so easy! And kids love to help me roll yarn balls and help straighten them up." photo credit: Sarah Winther Shumaker...she says, "From the K.I.S.S. school of tips: I finally figured out a better yarn distribution system that doesn't end with yarn on the floor... I started wearing it. I cut about 4-6 pieces of each color beforehand and then pulled out the strand the student wanted when they asked. Never going back." from the Art Teachers Facebook group Make a Cardboard Weaving Needle in 2 Minutes or Less, Alexis Hamilton Green photo from pinterest.com article by Mrs. Anna Nichols

Part of my 'of mice and mills' collection, inspired by the West Yorkshire landscape, this cheeky little mill mouse peeps down from the top of one of the bobbins he's playing on. This needle felted mouse, with wire features, is approximately life-sized. The whole sculpture (including bobbin) measures approximately 13cm high x 15cm wide at its widest point (including tail). The bobbins I use vary in age, but all are vintage or antique and show signs of wear and tear. This is part of their charm and has been left as is as a nod to their history. Please note - THIS IS NOT A TOY. This is a decorative item intended for collectors aged 14 and above only. Parts of these mice are quite delicate and not designed to withstand heavy handling, they are crafted over an internal wire frame and are not suitable for children.

Recipe video above. This is a recipe for naan bread that's fluffy, bubbly and chewy, just as it should be. Nobody will ever mistake this for just another basic flatbread! Perfect for slopping up your favourite Indian curries – yet so good that you'll happily devour it plain, straight out of the skillet.Bearing in mind that we aren't cooking in nuclear-level 480°C hot tandoors, see in post for background notes on how I find this recipe to most closely replicates restaurant naan. Makes: 6 naans, ~15-16cm / 6 - 7" diameter. For more Indian recipes, browse the Indian collection.
