Three years.

I have been winding yarn for years.  

Years and years.  

But there are 1400 metres in this Centolavaggi hank and it will be plenty to solve my double stranding issue.  By my best guess I would have been about 600 metres single, short if I tried to double the original yarn.  Plus this yarn is a pure clear black, where the original yarn is a heathered black.  I needed to have enough to do it all. 

I will be here for a while longer.
