Yarn Bowl - Hobnob Stoneware

Our handmade clay yarn bowls are individually decorated creating unique pieces that can not be duplicated. Even though we carefully fire each piece in the same manner, variation occurs and gives unique qualities to the piece.

These bowls are made from a stoneware clay. They are glazed inside and out with glazes that we have developed here in the studio. Normally the glazes are applied in combination so that the interaction of the overlapping glazes creates some pretty spectacular results. I will often hold the pot under the glaze using his fingers to form a resist. My fingers are quite literally forming the decoration. 

Like our bowls done in other techniques, these are the only size we regularly make. They were designed for use with fibers of all types, whether it is in a cake form or a ball. The inside of the bowl is a smooth shiny dark glaze.

These stoneware bowls are available in four color combinations.

Folks ask me how I got started making these bowls. I don't knit or crochet. That said, I have a partner, my wife Brenda, who does enough knitting for the both of us (although I can always use another pair of wool socks). One of our good friends in Brenda's knitting group asked if I could make one...that started me down the path of fiber related products.

Because of the knitting group and their comments and suggestions, LickinFlames makes yarn bowls with fiber in mind. We completely understand the importance of a well crafted and detailed bowl. We also understand that fiber folks really do appreciate nice looking objects and we strive to make our bowls both fully functional and "easy on the eye."

The colors or iridescence and the playful nature of the pieces are hallmarks of LickinFlames. The yarn bowl takes several weeks to and then the finishing can take place. When the bowls are removed from the kiln, each is washed, dried and cork bumpers are added to the foot to protect your fine furniture. Approx. 6 x 4 inches.
