Here's the answer.
Notice that this item has already been used. See the remnants of yarn left from the skeins of Seasilk run through the counter?
I didn't even notice they were there until I uploaded the picture onto my computer.
The counter can be purchased mounted on a board from knitting suppliers for about $50. But my daughter (who gave this to me as a gift for Christmas, isn't she the best?) found this at Dick's for alot less. It's used by fisherman to measure how much line they have out.
I found I don't need the mounting board. The device attaches directly to the table I use with my swift and ball winder.
Now I can easily divide that one skein of sock yarn into 2 skeins of even length. I really don't need the suspense of waiting until I am almost done the second sock before I know if I will have enough yarn!

What a great idea!!! Now I want one of those too. They just put in a Dick's near us not too long ago - I'll have to check it out.
PS: I found your blog through the Runagogo site. I left you a comment there too - have a great time dancing!!! (I'm a ballroom dancer too - well, I try. LOL)
That is a great find, Cindy! Thanks for sharing. Jay might not mind buying knitting things for me from Dick's!

Mom, I didn't get it at Dick's. The one that was there they said wasn't that good because it wasn't accurate. Which wouldn't help, I got it from a link you had emailed to Anna.
