Yolo finally sent us some of the yarn spun from the fleeces we sent in a year
and a half ago, and it's really nice stuff - the skeins are all different
sizes, though, so we'll have to measure the yarn on the McMorran balance and
weigh each skein before we can sell it... I expected to have to do that
anyway. We had it all spun medium-weight 2-ply.

We have (1) white Purebred Blueface Leicester; (2) White HexhamX <bluefaced
Leicester crossbreds>; (3) White mixed breeds <shetland, border leicester>;
(4) grey shetland; (5) brown shetland, llama and alpaca blend; and (6) black
shetland, border leicester and llama.

So, if we were going to get it weighed and labeled for sale, would we be
better off trying to sell it by the skein or in "project-sized" lots?  We're
planning to dye some of the white and I know we have to do enough of each
color-mix to finish a project at least... how much would be a good sized lot
if you were buying yarn for a knitting or weaving project?
