Information

      When working on knitting projects, it is handy to have a spool to save leftover yarn.  This project shows you how to make a simple design that can be used to store your excess yarn or any string.
    

Instruction

1

Step1: create the core

Yarn Spool instruction: step 1 - create the core
Preview

to begin, let's draw a rectangle on the canvas.  This will serve as the core to hold the yarn as we wrap it around.

2

Step2: Add rounded ends

To eliminate any sharp edges, let's add in the square shape with rounded edges.  We will resize these for the ends of the design.

Step3: Unite Ends

Step4: tie off slots

Now let's add in some cutouts that allow us to tie off the end or simply slide the string down into the slot.  This will keep the roll of yarn from unraveling. To do this, simply add two more rectangles and subtract these from the top of the design.

Step5: settings

These settings are for the D1 with a 5W laser.  Be sure to follow the safety rules for your laser and always wear personal protective equipment when the laser is in operation.
