Yarn holder systems

Abstract

The yarn holder is useful for storably containing and using yarn including a flexible container (accordion-style walls for collapsibility) and a lid with an egress hole (yarn port) and at least one adjustable cord. The flexible container having accordion-style walls is able to be collapsed during non-use periods for convenient storage.

What is claimed is new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims: 
     
         1 . A yarn holder system comprising:

         2 . The yarn holder system of  claim 1  wherein said container comprises a flexible body. 
     
     
         3 . The yarn holder system of  claim 2  wherein said container comprises accordion-style walls such that said container is able to be collapsed during non-use periods for convenient storage. 
     
     
         4 . The yarn holder system of  claim 3  wherein said container comprises light-weight material for portability. 
     
     
         5 . The yarn holder system of  claim 1  wherein said container is able to house a single skein of yarn. 
     
     
         6 . The yarn holder system of  claim 5  wherein said container is able to house more than one skein of yarn. 
     
     
         7 . The yarn holder system of  claim 1  wherein said container comprises a flat bottom surface such that said yarn holder assembly can be placed on a surface. 
     
     
         8 . The yarn holder system of  claim 1  wherein said lid comprises a yarn port. 
     
     
         9 . The yarn holder system of  claim 8  wherein said yarn port comprises an opening larger than said yarn such that said yarn is able to move through said yarn port. 
     
     
         10 . The yarn holder system of  claim 8  wherein said yarn port is located in a center of said lid. 
     
     
         11 . The yarn holder system of  claim 1  wherein said lid comprises said fastener. 
     
     
         12 . The yarn holder system of  claim 1  wherein said adjustable cord is flexible. 
     
     
         13 . The yarn holder system of  claim 1  wherein said adjustable cord comprises an adjustable member. 
     
     
         14 . The yarn holder system of  claim 1  wherein said lid is removably couplable to said container. 
     
     
         15 . The yarn holder system of  claim 1  wherein said container comprises a flexible tubular cylindrically shaped body. 
     
     
         16 . The yarn holder system of  claim 1  wherein said container comprises plastic for flexibility and durability. 
     
     
         17 . A yarn holder system comprising:
 a yarn holder assembly having;
 a container; 
 a lid; 
 a fastener; and 
 an adjustable cord; 
   wherein said yarn holder system comprises said yarn holder assembly;   wherein said yarn holder assembly comprises said container, said lid, said fastener, and said adjustable cord in functional combination;   wherein said container is defined by an outer circumference, an inner circumference, an inner volume;   wherein said container comprises a flexible body;   wherein said container comprises plastic for flexibility and durability;   wherein said container comprises accordion-style walls such that said container is able to be collapsed during non-use periods for convenient storage;   wherein said container comprises light-weight material for portability;   wherein said container comprises a flat bottom surface such that said yarn holder assembly can be placed on a surface;   wherein said container is able to house a single skein of yarn;   wherein said container comprises a flexible tubular cylindrically shaped body;   wherein said lid is removably couplable to said container;   wherein said lid structured and arranged to enclose said inner volume with yarn therein;   wherein said lid is positionable at a top end of said container;   wherein said lid comprises a yarn port;   wherein said lid comprises said fastener;   wherein said yarn port comprises an opening larger than said yarn such that said yarn is able to move through said yarn port;   wherein said yarn port is located in a center of said lid;   wherein said top end is open except when closed by said lid;   wherein said adjustable cord is flexible;   wherein said adjustable cord comprises an adjustable member; and   wherein said yarn holder assembly is useful for housing said yarn and preventing unraveling and tangling of said yarn while using said yarn for knitting and other yarn-using processes.   
     
     
         18 . The yarn holder system of  claim 17  further comprising a kit including:
 at least one said yarn holder assembly; 
 at least one skein of yarn; and 
 a set of user instructions. 
 
     
     
         19 . A method of using a yarn holder system comprising the steps of:
 placing a skein of yarn in a container of a yarn holder assembly;   feeding yarn through a yarn feeder of said yarn holder assembly; and   using said yarn holder assembly while knitting or other yarn-using processes.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19  further comprising the steps of:
