skeins

A skein is a length of yarn or thread that is loosely coiled or looped, typically used for knitting, crocheting, or weaving. It’s a convenient way to package and store yarn, making it easier to handle, measure, and purchase. Skeins usually range in size, from small bundles to larger, more substantial coils, and can be made of various fibers like wool, cotton, or acrylic. When working on a project, you often unwind or wind the yarn from the skein into a ball or other form for ease of use.
