Yarn barf
Imagine this: You've bought this wonderful fingering weight, 150 grams of your favourite cotton yarn. It has to be around 550 meters. Excited, you go to unwind the skein, already thinking of casting it on to make a swatch, and then... you accidentally pull too hard... and get the worst yarn barf ever. I'm not kidding, it's all in a tangled mess XD How do you unwind skeins? I swear I made a huge mess in a second!I now have to slowly get it into a neat ball. Send a troop for help, and some show recommendations! :)
I never fix the yarn barf right away unless I have a lot of colour changes. If its just one colour I crochet and then slowly untangle it as I go. Definitely the harder method :lol dont be like me LOL I slowly untangle as I go :) Crochetguy99 replied at 2025-7-10 19:45

Exactly I do the same.
Classic yarn barf struggle... Love to know everyone else struggles with this! I thought I was a bit dumb for unravelling it in such a messy way... It's comforting to know then that it's a normal struggle! I like to untangle it before I start making anything with it or I will be annoyed the whole time! It is frustrating but worth it to get it out of the way.
