This is the Way We Wind and Wash the Yarn...

Wind and wash the yarn, wind and wash the yarn. This is the way we wind and wash the yarn, so early in the morning. I remember that children's song from way back, but I don't know if we washed or wound any yarn in the song. I started winding up the re-purposed yarn from the sweater. This chair back is 37 inches in circumference and works nicely. I can get a rough idea of how much yarn I was able to get out the back and a little of the front.


It turned out to be a lot more than I thought, about 460 yards. Still not worth the time and effort. Next up is the washing and drying.

I gave the yarn a good soak in my yarn soap, "Soak". Then I put it on hangers and hung other hangers from the bottom to try to straighten out some of the kinks from it being used before.
