How Much…

…sock yarn do you think a basket can hold?  This one is 18 inches wide and 12 inches deep:

Sock Yarn

 I put the 57 skeins of yarn that reside in it into a spreadsheet today and guess what?  The total is:

8.23 Miles

My mind is officially boggled.

    I’ve been inventorying my stash and I’ve amazed at how much yarn you can fit into a small space–especially sock yarn! However, the “yarn mileage”? I’m stunned!!!

    I love to see all that sock yarn in one place. ;) What does it say about me that 8+ miles of sock yarn doesn’t sound like so much? lol

  8. Karen Says:

    Oh, but please tell me that you have more sock yarn in other places too. 8 miles is nothing!!!

  9. Jennifer Says:

    Holy Moly, that’s a lot of yarn.

  10. Chrissy Says:

    That’s a fair amount of sock yarn to hold in one basket. Didn’t anyone ever tell you not to put all your yarn in one basket? ;)

  11. Ramona Says:

    I’m in awe!

  12. Jessica Says:

    Yeah, that’s boggle worthy. Remind me *not* to do that with my stash, will ya? ;)

    I think that you may have the Western Massachusetts branch of the Museum of Sock Yarn (Carole is the curator).

  14. pippi Says:

    8+ miles, eh?
    Sounds like enough to get naked and roll in it. (taking it out of the basket FIRST, tho.)

    Squidette thinks that is really freaky. I think I’d freak her out even more if I calculated the milege of my stash!
