I use the empty 2 liter soda bottles. By cutting off the top, about 2 inches from the curve, you can put a smaller skein or a ball down inside.
Thread the end through the top and simply pop the top back on. I find inside the bottom works better than outside. You have a nice clean place where it can't get tangled.
I make a lot of scrap squares so sometimes I put smaller balls inside the bottle and keep them and a hook inside the car for times when I have to wait for someone.
Not only does the ball not tangle, but it stays clean and drives the cats crazy!
I've been doing this a long time. You can do some amazing things with these handy bottles.
