A yarn dispenser having upper and lower rollers feeding yarn from a skein. The upper roller is pivoted to the side for insertion and removal of yarn. The upper roller has a part of its central circumference recessed so as to free yarn one time in each rotation of the upper roller, to thereby prevent balling of the yarn. A miniature, 1.5 V battery powered motor powers the rollers via an O-ring belt drive. A foot controlled switch is used in the electrical circuit. The yarn dispenser can be mounted in a briefcase sized receptacle by snap fasteners or may be removed, in which case the dispenser can be supported above a supporting surface on a removable cover on which the base rests.
