RE: NeedleWorkMonday - This is Why!
What happened!? How did you manage to tangle it up so much!?
Personally I'm a detangler. I really don't mind doing it and usually get there eventually. If it's REALLY bad, then I'll stop and snip the ball from the tangle, but try for as long as I can.

It was awful @minismallholding. My husband surprised me and purchased this beautiful hank of lace yarn. It was my first ever as I always buy yarn already rolled into a skein or ball at the local store. I had no idea there was a special way to unravel it. I watched a video on how to find the ends but not on the rest of the process, I sure wish I did before it got in this mess. It started out smoothly but as I was going I started to realize I was getting it tangled. 🥺
I was on this knitting high (learning how to knit) and had plans on this being my first knitting project...a lace scarf.
I have lost patience along the way and almost tossed it and said I’ll just buy another one. Thank goodness I know now to have them wind it into a ball for me when I purchase it. I had no idea that was an option until @muacara told me.
Thanks so much for the curating ~
Oh no! I remember in handwork lessons at school we used to have to wind hanks into balls. It was a two person job. One would hold the hank around their hands and the other would wind. I never thought about the implications of trying to do it alone before.
Always a pleasure to curate. One of my favourite things.😁
😲😲😲 A two person job? I wish I would have known that. 😧
