How far will 1 oz of roving go?

So, I was wondering, because we were selling 1 ounce bags of roving at Creative Chaos - how far will 1 oz of roving go?

Of course, it depends on how thick, or conversely, how thin you spin it - but as a general rule of thumb, for knitting up my owls I thought I would put it to the test.

So, starting as a demonstration on the Mayan Spinner at the show I began with these wonderful colours that Nikki Marshall dyed up that I absolutley could not resist!

 

 

... and then, on my coffee breaks, I've done a little more each day ...  

 

 

So I still have a little ways to go but I will keep you posted on how many yards that I get before the knitting begins!
