wrong, but in a winning direction
Aug. 30th, 2025 08:19 amSooooo... this week I had an expiring coupon and access to a gift card, and that means now I have some new yarn! I remember thinking to myself 'this should be enough to make a small blanket,' and then this morning I was putting the yarn away and noticed the labels said "760 yards." Which, with the number of skeins I now have stashed away, would be enough for a LARGE blanket.
'Huh,' I thought. Did I know each skein was 760 yards? That seemed higher than I expected.
I was curious enough to go back and check the website, which Very Definitely says "260 yards." So, hooray! Bonus 500 yards of yarn per skein!
(To be fair: this is on me as someone who doesn't pay attention to the yards-to-meters conversion, because the website also Very Definitely says "695 meters," which anyone who WAS paying attention could easily identify as Not The Same as 260 yards.)
