I tried to take pictures of this humungus cone of yarn. But it's really impossible to show how big it is. Next to it is a 2 lb cone of woolray for comparison. Keep in mind also, from it already has come one shrug for a teenager, one shawl 3 ft x 7 ft (the disaster one) and one scarf 8 inches x 6 feet. The original cone was so heavy it caved in the thick cardboard inner cone.
I suppose this is what the cones look like in a knitting factory. Could an ordinary home knitter ever use up something like this? I wonder...
Oh, WOW! How do you even find space for it?
ReplyDeleteOne scarf at a time, like your grey cone? How about bed throws in tuck stitch?
It's a lovely colour though and I bet scarfs in this would be very soft!
I have a huge cone of Patons Lacette. I made 4 ponchos for girls (age 2-lady), and the cone still looks the same. I have some other huge cones like that too. They're too heavy for my kitchen scale and if I take them to the bathroom scale I might be tempted to weigh myself and that would just ruin my day, LOL.
ReplyDeleteTracy, you made me laugh. That's exactly why the 10 lbs is an estimate....
