untangling yarn
Do you ever have yarn that sticks together in places where you have to pull them apart? Sometimes there's knots and sometimes there's something that looks like a knot or a piece of yarn that will slide off the yarn if you pull it w/your fingers/finger nails.
I tend to pull the strand of yarn through when untangling yarn ( and that takes a long time) instead of putting the ball or bunch of yarn through to untangle it but I do that too.

Untangling yarn is my most frustrating thing about crocheting! I do have a yarn winder so that helps but you still have to untangle it before you can use the winder. Anyone have tips that I haven't thought of?

This may seem stupid & crazy, but I get a large bowl & pull the yarn & pile it by each pull so that it's a small kind of circle. This way I catch the knots, straighten them out & keep pulling & piling. Once the entire skein is pulled & piled I make it into a center pull ball. I have no more problems after that & this method works for me very time I do it. I can tell if I need to do this by how far I pull the beginning strand from the yarn skein. If it starts to snag I just take my time & do my piles. I hope this helps someone

If I have a ball of yarn that is all tangled, but otherwise still very useful, I take a handful of the tangled part and loosely shake it. Then I start rewinding it and shake it out as I get to more tangled parts. It takes a little time, but it works for me. Hope this helps someone.
