untangling yarn

I had just asked about this, the videos are good. Thanks for suggesting them. But what about when the fuzz gets attached to each other, and is very fine.

Hi Jean Marie, One thing that you really need to untangle yarn is Patience!!! I use a lot of leftover yarns donated to a charity group and sometimes things are so snarled that someone without patience would throw up their hands and throw it away!! First I spend a lot of time untangling and forming a ball. In fact, I roll almost all my yarns into ball. Then when I crochet something, I put the balls into a plastic bag, hang it on the arm of my chair on the right hand side (cause I am left-handed) and have a smooth pull. If I use a skein and happen to find the inner end of the yarn, I put the skein in a large sized coffee can and it stands up so the yarn pulls out easily. Hope this can help someone to a smooooother crochet!!!! Sshelia
