So I ordered this little guy back when I ordered the stuff from Heirloom Knitting, but it took forever to get here.

I was really surprised when I opened it up and saw the size. It’s TINY. I opened it up and went, “Damn, it really is pocket-size.” So Bear truly thinks I’m a druggie now. With my little tins of loose-leaf tea and my 1/10 of a gram scale that truly can go into my pocket.

So obviously, the first thing I did was pop some wool on there to see how much it weighed!

The pretty soft superwash from Spunky Eclectic was first.

Strangely, I couldn’t get a consistent measurement. I put it on there and it weighed 112.8 grams. It’s very sensitive though, because I took it off and put it back on a couple of times and I got 110.8 and 113.1 grams (and I probably could have gotten more weights in the 110-113 gram range). 113 grams is very close to 4 ounces and 110.8 is 3.9 oz, so I’m not concerned, but I was still completely enchanted with this little thing.

Next up was the red superwash.

Which weighs 131.9 grams! I could have sworn I only had 8 ounces of this stuff, but seeing as I have another ball upstairs that I haven’t touched yet, I’m thinking either the ebay seller was generous, or I’ve forgotten how much I bought.

Then I weighed one of my bobbins.

(yes, yes, terribly exciting I know, but I wanted to weigh stuff!) So that I could weigh the bobbin that has the spun up red merino and know how much I’ve got.

177.3 grams minus the 97.9 for the bobbin is 79.4 grams.

Now I know, none of this is going to be terribly exact. My spinning isn’t that great yet either, so even if I spun the exact same weight, the yardage won’t be perfect. I could probably eyeball it and get just as close, but I found a good deal on the scale (12 bucks). And I thought it would fun. Thought.

So by this point I’ve weighed everything I could without digging into the stash, but I saw pink diamonds on the couch from when I was knitting on it last night, so I grabbed that too.

Here’s the weight of pink diamonds

And here’s the weight of the yarn I still have.

I’m only halfway!!! I’ve been knitting this thing for FOREVER. GAH. I think I’m cured of the desire to weigh stuff now.
