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

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

Holy Moly, that’s a lot of yarn.

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?

I’m in awe!

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).

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!

I’d be glad to take some off your hands.
Love ya, Mom

LOL… And I thought I was BAD!! Methinks you either need to use the Destash Blog or have a contest.

That is a BEAUTIFUL sight.
I cannot believe it actually holds that many MILES of yarn! Amazing.
