Not one ever seems to please the user. The only good one I'm thinking of was possibly mentioned by Dave Daniels. I always used the idea of weighing a bit of yarn on a scale that measures very small amounts, like accurate to one gram. Weigh out 2 grams or 5 maybe. Then measure it. Then weigh your skein. That seems to be the most accurate thing. Even a niddy noddy doesn't seem to be very accurate. I’ve never found anyone that liked a yarn meter counter thingy. Not one ever seems to please the user.
