Cotton to Skein ratio?
Hey y'all! I'm a home gardener and a fiber artist- I'm looking to grow some cotton this year and get hopefully get into hand spinning my own yarn.
Im reading that 1 cotton plant produces 35-60 bolls of cotton, bolls are anywhere from 2-6 grams each. can anyone point me towards resources to help me figure out how many i would need for 1-2 skeins of worsted yarn? Does anyone have experience doing this process from soil and seed all the way to spinning? Thanks for your time ❤️
Tl;dr: how many bolls/grams of cotton do you work with to get a skein of yarn?
