Wipe containers would work better,have one for each skein. The wipe containers I'm talking about are the ones where you pull the wipes/handy wipes thru the top.

I think this is a great idea, but I am going to use small containers for ea skein. Have tried idea of ziploc bags, but didn't work me as yarn would not dispense and I was constantly opening bag and pulling out yarn. I don't like idea of yarn rolling on floor and getting dirty especially when making baby items. I then have to wash finished item.

This sounds handy, but I see a few problems looming if I were to try it. I am, by nature, one who experiments with my projects. I also make a LOT of mistakes when following a pattern. If I have to pull it out and roll it up, I'm going to get frustrated. I also don't want to cart a bucket around, as I take a project with me. what works better for me is a few large ziplock bags, leave just enough space open on on end for the yarn to come out, and drop the bags in my tote. That way they're separated, and I don't have to worry about them getting mangled together in the container.

I think this is a great idea, and I am going to make one for myself.

In theory it sounds fantastic, but when working with multiple skeins of yarn if you have to carry over or intertwine the first/last stitch of 2 colors (as in a graph) so that the colors are linked and don't pull apart, you ultimately have to untangle the skeins...with the skeine in the bucket how are you going to be able to do that?
