Skein or skein? How do you pronounce it?

You live and learn.

Today I found out there are two ways to pronounce skein - some say skayn and some say skeen. I think the proper way is skayn but I like to think that skeen sounds more Scottish - like scone and scoone (little curranty bun thingy).

Check out this survey on pronounciation: http://www.menwhoknit.com/node/1703

Anyway, I digress.

I meant to show this:

This is my River Thames colourway as described in last post. I've added it into my etsy shop but am tempted, as usual, to keep it for my stash, speaking of which, gratuituous stash photo coming in next post.
