A length of thread or yarn, loosely coiled and knotted.
A tangled or complicated arrangement, state, or situation.
A coil of yarn or cord. In retail trade, a skein is a highly variable unit, varying from one type of yarn to another and often from one manufacturer to another. In textile manufacturing, however, the skein is a unit of length equal to the lea.
Cayce
"Irrespective of what the individual has done or may do, there are within themselves the records of what they have done, upon the skein of time and space." [Cayce 2173-1]
