wow! that's 360 feet to a skein...since ties are generally only maybe 4"--then trimmed to a shorter tie - you have enough to do a number of king sized quilts- even if you did a 2" or 4" grid across the whole quilt
if your quilt is 100" square (just an example) and you grid it every 4" thats 25 ties across X 25 down- or 625 ties-
at 4" long each = 2500 inches- which = 208.333 feet -- leaving you with 150+ feet of yarn left (or 50 yards) so with your 2 skeins you have enough to do 3 king sized quilts
