[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Estimating yards of yarn used in a project

[slery]

Mine is a small plastic device with a wheel/cog that the yarn runs over 
with a clasp that holds the yarn so that pulling the yarn through causes 
the wheel to turn and it counts to show you how many yards have run 
through the device. No, it does not talk and you would need to use some 
form of magnification or be my eyes to read it. There is a button that 
is used to reset it to 0.
