Thanks Joanie!  My friend, Joanie, parted with this yarn.  It was in two huge hanks and Mark, Danielle and myself wound it into these balls.  The container of little bits will be crocheted into ties for baby booties and made into poms for hats – Danielle will be doing that.  On the left is a sweater started for Zach.  This yarn is Jamie and it has a satin thread running through it (it looks like satin to me) so I’m taking that out as I go for Zach’s sweater – don’t want it to look too girly.

Zach helped………………how cute is he?????????????????

Carrie and Chloe tried to help too, bless their hearts.

Trivial fact…………….how many of these do you think that pile of Jamie made????????

This skein is 1.5 oz.  The “pile” of Jamie is 5.5 lbs.  That translates to the fact that the pile would have made eight-eight ounces, which would be 58 2/3 skeins of Jamie (if I did my math right).  WOW!
