The purpose of the yarn dispenser is to store and dispense embroidery floss in a orderly manner.The operation of the device involves placing a skein of floss over the two bushings which rotate on internal axles. After the two halves of the outer case are assembled, the outside end of the skein is drawn out through the dispensing hole and cut off as needed by the user.An abraded area is provided to record information about the skein inside, and windows (holes) are provided to permit the user to see the color and amount of floss remaining.
