Miles of Smiles

Have you ever thought about how many skeins of yarn it takes to make a mile? In one skein of Red Heart Super Saver Yarn (solid color) there are 364 yards. There are 1760 yards in a mile. So it takes almost 5 skeins (4.8 skeins to be exact) of yarn to make a mile. Now think about how many skeins of yarn you've crocheted or knitted in your life. Wouldn't it be interesting to know how many miles you have completed? And think of all the smiles you can create with those miles.
