5120Guessing how much thread I need:
1 King Cone = 11,000 yds/10,058m* = 1,999,998 stitches**
1 King Cone = 10,000 yds/9,150m = 1,818,180 stitches
1 King Spool = 5,500 yds/5,000m = 1,000,000 stitches
1 King Spool = 3,250 yds/2,972m = 590,908 stitches
1 King Spool = 3,000 yds/2,740m = 545,454 stitches
1 King Spool = 2,500 yds/2,285m = 454,545 stitches
1 Mini-King Spool = 1,100 yds/1,000m = 200,000 stitches
1 Mini-King Spool = 1,000 yds/909m = 181,818 stitches
1 Mini-King Spool = 700 yds/694m = 127,272 stitches
1 Mini-King Spool = 500 yds/455m = 90,909 stitches
1 Mini-King Spool = 400 yds/364m = 72,727 stitches
1 Spool = 330 yds/300m = 60,000 stitches
1 Spool = 250 yds/227m = 45,455 stitches
1 Spool = 200 yds/182m = 36,363 stitches
1 Spool = 100 yds/91m = 18,182 stitches
*Based on .909m per 1yd
