I've seen this. My grandma is from Peru and taught me how. Basically you use this thing that looks a lot like a tall spinner. First you have to stretch the wool. Then put where it begins on the top where the spinner spins.
When you start spinning you have to make sure your stretching the wool as you go. You could go at your own speed, but I prefer you spin it fast. Then after all that, your done! Its pretty hard, but you'd get used to it after a while. I hope this helps your wonder!

I have 620 grams of yarn how many yards is that?
The number of yards of yarn in 620 grams depends entirely on the unique qualities of the yarn. First of all, the weight, or thickness, of the yarn can influence the number of yards in a specific number of grams. For instance, 10 yards of laceweight yarn will weigh much less than 10 yards of bulky weight yarn. Second, the type of fiber of the yarn also needs to be taken into account. Certain fibers, like cotton, bamboo, and silk, tend to be much heavier than fibers like wool or alpaca. Therefore, 10 yards of cotton yarn will weigh more than 10 yards of wool yarn, even if the two yarns are of equal thickness. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the yardage of your yarn without further information. If you know the fiber and the weight (thickness) of the yarn (such as laceweight, fingering weight, sportweight, worsted, etc.), you can find a yarn with a similar weight and fiber on a website such as yarndex.com and compare its yardage with your yarn. However, this method can get you only an estimate, and is not guaranteed to be accurate. If you must know specifically how many yards of yarn you have, you can purchase a device that measures it as you spin it into a ball. A Yarn Meter such as this one from knitpicks.com: http://www.knitpicks.com/accessories/Knitting_Yarn_Meter__D80179.html can measure exactly how many yards of yarn you have.
