Kauni color runs A friend asked me to give her an idea of how long the color runs are in my Kauni EQ yarn. Since I had taken mine off the cone, soaked it and dried it and it's sitting here waiting to be put into a ball, I was able to measure a run for her. (This is totally UNscientific - I am NOT a spinner or dyer, and I only did this once... if you base a project on it and it's inaccurate, please don't blame me. :) )

I chose the "blue" run - from deep violet to light blue - this photo shows you what it looked like sitting there before I started measuring it:



Here is a "From" photo. Notice that the color change is not abrupt - so I wound the deep violet around my hand and when I could actually see some blue starting to show up, I sat it down for this pic, and that's where I started measuring:



And then on the other end, I waited until I could see some green showing, and I stopped:


I measured the yarn "slack" in my hands, and came up with 47.5 yards in this run.

If I have a chance, I'll do it again with another color.
