Clip the shoulder seams, attach the loose end to a winder, and pull. One sweater becomes four skeins in an afternoon. The yarn comes out kinked. A quick soak and a hang to dry fixes it. What you end up with has no dye lot anxiety, no shipping wait, and a better origin story than anything on a skein label.
Buy the largest size on the rack. More sweater, more yarn. Everything else is instinct.
