A skein is a unit of measure used primarily in the textile industry to describe a length of yarn or thread that is coiled and bound in a loose, oblong shape. The skein is often used for knitting, crochet, and other crafts, and the length and weight of a skein can vary depending on the type of yarn and the manufacturer. In terms of specific measurements, a skein typically contains around 100 to 200 grams of yarn, but this can vary widely.
