I guess I had thought about the chair method but needed someone else to tell me that it worked before trying. I have some vintage wool that I got at a thrift store for nothing and want to make a lace shawl. But there is no way I'm starting without knowing how much I have. Thanks so much! That is so simple.

It was about $25 and is meant to be used for determining weight for postage. I measure out five or ten yards of yarn and weigh that. Then I divide to get the weight per yard. Then I weight my ball of yarn and divide by the weight per yard.
