I find detangling yarn to be intriguing, because there is definately a finish line. Many people reach a wall, and give up on it, or they just cut the yarn (Ouch!!). They say knitters have great patience. I’ll be patient detangling, while I am anxious to get those needles moving.

Untangling yarn is the only way I can get my husband involved in my knitting other than him saying “oh that’s nice, baby” without every lifting his head from his computer. We have a two person system that works well for us.

I love untangling yarn – it is meditative, and I don’t have to worry that my children will mess it up.

I found your blog because of detangling yarn – Monica of Rubies and Pearls showed her beautiful prize and it sent me over here to read. As someone who is not as totally crafty as she would like to be, I love working with yarn. I’m always amazed that I will take the time to untangle a messed up skein, and not feel impatien. I can read the knots and move the partially wound yarn through the loops as necessary. Please add me to the hat!

The detangling thing- I can’t rest until it is done. I really only stop if I am stupid tired and then it is the first thing I pick up the next morning. I know I have one skein that is still tangled, but I didn’t have an immediate plan for the yarn, so it is ‘resting’
My mind can wander where it will – without trying to follow a knitting pattern.

I love puzzles…..a tangled skein is just that….a big puzzle!
