Why didn't I think of THIS years ago. I would have saved hours & lots of frustration.

So simple and perfect, will try this when knitting as it will keep the wool clean and stop the worry of a cat going for it. Thank you

I have often used a small polythene bag with a twist tie, allowing the yarn easily through.
I also have some cones of yarn - I plonk them on to a kitchen roll stand that I bought very cheaply in a charity shop.
Saw somewhere a crochet pattern (I think it was crochet) for making a ball-sized bag with a handle that fits around the wrist, so that you can even knit or crochet while standing up! (Waiting at bus-stops/train stations, or even in the hairdressers etc.)
Ooow !! OMG.......IT WORKED; I am really surprised. The engraving is an old one (19th Century) of my breed of Silver-Grey Dorkings. It has taken me about an hour to sort out & get it on the forum; I nearly lost the will to live in the process.

Love the avatar, I know it is hard to do, I had to get OH to sort out mine!

Searched t'internet, and it would appear that Hattie's engraving was from a print by Ludlow, c1908.
Or, perhaps I should say, it is a print from the engraving ....
There is a picture for sale on e-bay of it!!
