It depends on the type of fiber.Normally about 18 inches.

about 30 - 40 cm ...If cotton is not enough, I was able to use the length of 5 cm :D:D

clemence Publish time 2014-1-17 06:19

50 cm pour moi aussi

36 inches, folded in half for a loop start, I like a long piece of thread

Lolgimante Publish time 2021-1-26 23:47

I use the elbow method - I take a thread up to the length of my elbow in order to maximize how much my hand can extend.

I don't know the length.I grab the tail, pull it out 4 times (4 "sets" of thread from the skein), and clip one thread at a time (I use loop start).I then wrap the remaining (still attached to the skein) around the label to ensure it doesn't fall off.

I use the same method as Lolgimante. It is the simpliest to keep your thread from getting tangled while working
