Feb 25, 2026 | Making and Crafting, Crafts & Hobbies, Maker Machines, Makers

Keep those troublesome balls of yarn from rolling off your lap and channel your inner nerd at the same time with one of these thematic 3D printed yarn bowls:

For the Dungeon Master

Roll a natural 20 with your next knitting project with this simple d20 design 3d print. It can be sized up or down before printing, and the numbers offer convenient gaps to wind your yarn through.

For the No-Such-Thing-As-Too-Many Cats Knitter

There’s no such thing as too many cats, so why not add this cute cat bowl to your knitting experience. Choose from dozens of available colors or print it grey to paint afterwards and add your own customization to it.

For the Knitter in a Galaxy Far, Far Away

“That’s no moon, it’s a space station yarn bowl”

Embrace the dark side of the force with this model of the most famed space station in Star Wars, the Death Star. Naturally, the Space Station’s Super Laser serves as the funnel for the yarn to be wound through.

For the Knitter Who Really Loves Knitting

Want to add a little whimsy to your knitting? Print this thick knit bowl to hold your yarn in place. It’s like Inception for the fiber arts.

For the Cosmic Horror Knitter

Whether you are a fan of Lovecraftian Horror or mythical deep-sea creatures, this tentacle-held yarn bowl is an eye-catching addition to your fiber-arts collection.
