@TindrasGrove@infosec.exchange No worries! :bunhdheart:
The EEW Yarn Counter might be a worthwhile investment at $79. You can put that between a swift (does the bobbin winder work as a swift too?) and the ball winder to get an initial measurement of the singles' length, and then back through to break the ball into even fractions.
The yarn counter also has a setting to beep when you reach a specific length, so if you're using it manually, just crank the yarn through until it beeps and stop! You don't have to constantly watch the screen (which can be difficult to read at an angle).

@Paws2Spindle@sunny.garden I was talking less about the yarn counter and more about the cone winder - *thats* what I want, and I don’t understand why there’s not manual versions I swear I’m about to create an attachment to my bobbin winder so I can at least put yarn on cones *somehow* without taking up more plugs.
