Above is the amount of yarn I got from unraveling the sweater in the last post, minus one skein of pink which I couldn’t help myself from dyeing, hence it is not in this shot. The total was three skeins of 260-290 yards, two skeins of 205 yards, and one pink skein of 200 yards. Around 1386 yards in total, plus or minus rounding errors. Six balls of yarn for $6.77, $1.13 each skein. That’s a great price!
Sadly I did not take any pictures while I deconstructed the sweater. I will go out and get another sweater soon (luck willing) to make up for this. Once you’ve done it once, it’s very easy to do it again, I’m sure anyone could figure it out as I did. That said, this blog is all about sharing knowledge, so I’ll be posting a tutorial on deconstructing a sweater in the coming week or two.
