One Skein Too Many
I have been winding 10 yard skeins of 20# test hemp twine. And cutting, and winding, and cutting, and winding....I've got several pounds of this stuff to cram through. Normally I process the full-size skeins into 10Y, 25Y, and 50Y skeins & balls. This time I've been just going with 10Y skeins. In hindsight, I may need to make at least a few bigger ones for my crochet headband kit I hope to sell this year. I'm sure they use more than 10 yards. I'm debating also doing a scrunchie pattern, but that kit could use several 10Y skeins too though.
Alongside the massive pile of skeins are the scrap bags. The "usable off cuts" (at least 2yd) get measured and tossed in one bag for sale while shorter pieces go into the big 'ole Wal-mart bag of bunk. This year I will actually have enough to implement my "Bag O' Bunk" idea and sell the scraps by weight for scrapbooking, etc. They also make neat confetti paper if you toss them into homemade paper.
I'm so not looking forward to labeling all of these puppies....
