Yes, a bigger bowl is better, especially if she does color changes in her pieces, but also can be hard to find.

Tall is nice to keep yarn from bouncing out.

Something I’ve recently seen that is pretty cool is yarn BOXES - they have lids!

Most yarn bowls have a kind of loopy cutout section as well as a couple of holes. I’d favor extra loop sections over lots of holes if there’s any chance she might switch projects.

Thank you thank you that's very helpful!

This is top contender at the moment but kinda meh on the design https://www.amazon.com/Crocheting-Unique-Crochet-Knitting-Macrame/dp/B0C6YCYLZG/ref=sr_1_24?crid=3SAVLMOU1RVW&keywords=knitting+bowl&qid=1698242372&sprefix=knitting+bowl%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-24

Hard to give an opinion on a gift for someone I don’t know, but while I usually love simplicity, those flowers don’t do much for me. The wood colour choice though is spot on!

Yeah I'm not a big fan of the flowers either and I don't think my wife will either. I found some that look like cauldron shaped. Those seem pretty cool. The search continues!

If you think she’d like a bigger one, I saw some on Etsy.

The wood one you have is a fairly typical size which I have always thought too small for my own purposes 😂 but I do color changes all the time and need it to hold at least two balls or skeins of different yarn (sometimes even more).

I’ve got a goal of making my own since I do pottery as well 😂 just haven’t gotten to it yet, but I could make it basically the way I like
