Can any machine knitter tell me the approximate weight of the cone inside a cone of 4 ply machine yarn?
I have quite a bit of yarn left on a cone, which I have weighed, but I do not know how much to allow for the cone itself. Has any machine knitter got a loose cone handy which they could weigh for me please.
Believe it or not, you can successfully weigh that cone yourself, and have it be accurate, since cone weights vary from yarn house to yarn house and what size the cone actually is. Turn your cone upside down and hit the top of the cone on the counter which will pop the cone itself out (don't squash the whole business in, though, you need to put the cone back in later). Weigh the cardboard cone itself and then push it back into the center of the yarn tightly and weigh the whole business together and you'll know how much harn is left.
