The Tom Bihn Yarn Stuff Sack Review

Posted on 28 August 2008 by


Don’t let the name of Tom Bihn’s Yarn Stuff Sack throw you off. While it’s true that this Japanese-made Dyneema rip-stop fabric bag was created to work perfectly with their Swift knitting bag, this approximately 9.5″ wide x 8.25″ tall drawstring bag can also manage all sorts of loose gadget peripherals.

Let’s take a look…

Available in two styles, either “all fabric” or “clear bottom”, I was sent the clear bottom version.

There’s a clip on the side of the bag which is so the Yarn Stuff Sack can clip into the previously mentioned Swift, but if you carry a larger gear bag with interior rings, it will clip inside there as well.

There is a grommet on the inside of the sack so that knitters can thread their yarn through the sack’s mouth, but it works just as well for keeping the end of a cable or a charger plug handy when you don’t want to have to dig for it.

How do I use my Yarn Stuff Sack? I’ve found that it is the perfect way to store the cables and loose chargers that would ordinarily rattle around inside my travel bag; I especially like the clear window on its bottom which allows me to quickly identify the bag’s contents.

The Yarn Stuff Sack is a simple product that allows you to stay better organized; those of us who have issues with clutter will love it!

The Tom Bihn Yarn Stuff Sack is available directly from the manufacturer, and it is available in steel & white or sapphire & white; it is made at the Tom Bihn Factory in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.

MSRP: $15.00

What I Like: Keeps odds and ends neatly contained; clear bottom for quick content identification; can clip into a larger gear bag

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford
