A yarn keeper has a front, back, two sides, bottom and top provided as discs. Most of the discs are joined at sew lines with at least one gap separating adjacent sew lines which provide access into an interior of the yarn keeper. The top is hingedly connected to the back and selectively securable relative to the front which provides the ability to insert a yarn ball therein and then the user can direct a yarn strand through a gap for use. The keeper has a storage configuration in which the sides, front and back are inwardly folded so that the top and bottom remain parallel, but closer together so that it could possibly preferably fit within a tote. The tote has an interior defined by zipper portions, sides, bottom and front and back with the zipper potion terminating intermediate the sides allowing items such as long needles to extend beyond the zipper portions.
