I'm not sure but I think I've seen somewhere that there are 16-18 1 meter rods in 1 kilo.
I could go home and weigh a bunch of rods on my digital kitchen scale tonight if you want to.

well hmmm
what length rods?
If I count right there are about 23 grams per moretti 13 inch rod
1000 grams equals a kilo
So prolly between 35-45 depending on diameter and length
Hugs,
Sarah

Hi Sarah! *waves madly*
1000/23=43.5 so we are very close in our answers!
Shall we settle on appr. 45 13" rods?
