In The Odyssey, how long did Penelope deceive the suitors?

Penelope tells her suitors that she will marry when she has completed weaving a shroud for her father-in-law, Laertes. Each day she works on it, and each night she unravels her work. Consequently, the shroud would never be completed. Penelope fools her suitors for three years until they finally learn of her deception.
