My stash has now 55627.9 yards / 31.60 miles / 50.86 kilometers of yarn, plus 1062 grams / 2.34 pounds of Aunt Lydia's #10 crochet thread PLUS 894 grams / 1.97 pounds of Gokuboso (2ply or Lace weight). And one more (next post).
894 grams of Gokuboso in 73 colors. Yes, seventy-three.
Almost all of them have lost their ball bands. There are some which weigh exact 1 oz. and still have small piece of paper at the end tucked in the center. They probably are new balls (Why, oh why did you take bands away, mom?) You can safely guess that she didn't care sticking to one brand. There are six bright reds and ten grays, two navy(!)s. They are not the same, you can tell when you se them side by side. They are in different colorways, not just in different dye lots, or so I think.
There are a lot of "embroidery thread" of 100% wool, too. I had no idea that such a thing exists.
I think this picture explains all above.
Grrrrrrrranny squares.
I think I am going to add it as a new project on my Ravelry notebook.
Or try plying Gokubosos with my spindle. Theoretically, plying two 2plys make a 4ply, which is fingering equivalent, right?
