Okay, here it is. I decided it would be fun to find out how much sock yarn do I really have? I have to say, I really had no idea how much I had. It doesn't look like so much, but there is quite a bit! Though, I think that I could eventually use up all of this yarn, it wouldn't be easy and socks would be what I was making for a long, long time. On with the game...I have all of my sock yarn tucked away in various places of one room, which are pictured above (some pictures are just close ups showing each basket and/or bag). It is our third bedroom, play room, yarn room and christmas decoration storage room. I have counted all of the yarn in this room, plus one ball of yarn in a bag (socks to be completed for my mother in law - Valerie) and one work in progress (as shown in a previous post), so HOW MUCH SOCK YARN IS HERE (# of skeins)? Leave your guess by commenting to this entry. The contest will end Friday, 4:30 pm EST. What is the prize? A free skein of sock yarn from one of these amazing dyers: Zen String, Yarn Pirate, Perchance to Knit, Scout, Blue Moon and Lavender Sheep. Good Luck everyone!
P.S. Can you believe that I am actually going to tell the world and (specifically my husband) how much sock yarn I really have? What was I thinking? Maybe he won't notice when I make the annoucement on Friday?

My guess is 156 skeins. Regardless of the actual number, you have some BEAUTIFUL yarns in your stash!!! I don't know how you could part with any of it!!!
I agree with the two previous comments but I will guess 187 skeins.
