Stage Two went more quickly than expected: After 90 minutes of unravelling two sweaters, I had 9 skeins averaging 4 ounces each. A piece of each was left intact for photographing.
Based on the time it took to de-seam and unravel the two sweaters, four ounces of yarn can be prepped and skeined in 20 minutes. If one adds travel, shopping, dyeing, washing, drying, and winding into center-pull balls, I reckon each skein requires about an hour of labor.
(This assumes applying dye in one pound batches. Will post time and cost information for dyeing later this month.)

| The white yarn is going to yield more yardage, as it is thinner. |
