When I was at the LYS this weekend, dh found a huge…hank(??) of yarn…I’ve never seen one like it…It was not really a hank but I don’t know what else to call it…It was Manos De Urguay (sp?) and it was about as big around as my thigh, 25-30" maybe…and about 2’ in length…
Does anyone know what this large “chunk” of yarn is called–is it just a really big hank or something!!!
Heaven???
LOL… :roflhard:
I should have expected such a response…
At one of my LYSs they have the Manos all bundled together – like 10 hanks are together, and if you ask they’ll separate them. I think maybe that’s the way that Manos sends them? :??
In any case… 
that’s a thought Julie…my husband thought it looked like a large wig–he was trying to convince me it’d fit my head nicely… :shock:
Come to think of it, I once got what I thought was a huge hank of Shetland wool. I thought the ball was going to be the size of a basketball! When I took off the yarn tied around it, though, it separated into normal sized hanks.
Cristy–you should have agreed to wear it as a wig, just to get it out of the store! 
Was it the bulky weight Manos? The regular ones are larger than other hanks, but the bulky is ginormous!
Ingrid–what a good idea…I can see the headlines now…“Woman jailed for swiping yarn…husband held on related charges…” 
Sara (which, btw–your name, exactly as spelled will be the name of my next child if it’s a girl…) – maybe it was the super bulky…it was a very bulky yarn but I just can’t imagine that equalling only one hank…
I just thought I’d check with the experts…I’ll take a picture of it next time I go.
OMG those do look like some sort of colorful, colonial wigs! Court would have been so much more fun back then if those guys had worn these colors! :roflhard:
yep…that’s what I saw although I swear they might have been even bigger than that! I just wanted to have one to look at!! 
I’m sure they are mega-expensive!
:roflhard: I agree :eyebrow:
