To reply to the cake portion of the post… I love winding cakes. I usually wind my skeins into cakes when they start to become floppy due to pulling from the center..

I’d love a yarn bowl, but I usually just sit my cake so that it’s kinda blocked my something heavier on the table, and I use the center pull. A bowl would be much more convenient though, because I could pull the thread from the outside and not have the extra step of untangling my cake once it collapses on itself.

For skeins I use the center pull whenever possible just to avoid the jumping around, but like I said, I like winding it into cakes after a certain point.

I think a post on diy yarn bowls would be great. There are many options.

Also, I have this plastic iced tea jar shaped container that I bought years ago from a craft store that has a hole in the top to thread your skein yarn through, which is handy for both center pull and from around the outside. So I think a glass one would be even better due to its weight.

Hard to manage when working with it. I put it in a (washed) plastic coffee can. I placed the cone upside down at first, then when it was a bit smaller I flipped it over.
It works well to keep the yarn in place. Plus I can put my hook/needles in the can for storage. It keeps the cat from playing with it.
