Because we live in such a small place, I don't really have the space available to really spread out and access my crafty supplies and materials the way I'd like to. I also have a long list of dream items that I'd like to add to my collection, but where would I put a serger sewing machine, a swift, or a ball winder?

The hanks fit perfectly around the cover and I just stood over it and wound up the balls of yarn as I went.
