Hi Mary,

A trick that I used to use when I did a lot of crochet work was to attach a clothespin to
the yarn in either 5 or 10 yard lengths, depending on the size of the project. (5 yds for
thread to make doilies and 10 yd for yarn and larger projects.) Then you just keep track
of how many times you move the clothespin.
