Skein that wasn't spun right

My mom suggested to make into a ball, but it's not really as bad as I first thought (atleast not yet).. What I've been doing is tugging on it to find the part where it's squishing the rest of the yarn, then I pull that Piece over and then pull the yarn again... the piece that I had just pulled over the skein tightens. Does that make sense? I hope so! I hope I don't end up having to take it out and ball it, I've already got a tangled ball of yarn from when I frogged a project, and it got tangled.. I appreciate the response!

It does make sense. I can even picture it happening. Have you ever used one of those plastic jars with a hole on top to put the yarn you're working with in? It's suppose to help keep it contained and I can see how it would work quite nicely. Maybe that would help next time you have to make a ball so it doesn't get knotted afterwards. I wonder how some skeins come tangled in the first place. It would be interesting to tour a yarn factory to see how they're wound up.

There's a lot of great ideas to store yearn, and I think that punching a hole in the can of a coffee thing would probably work too... and maybe make the yarn smell good? I think that you could probably find out online how the yarn is spun, but I think they use a certain type of turner sort of like the way people make clay pots? I'm not sure though, but it would be quite interesting! I appreciate the response!

We have a read skein of yarn that's a mess, it was one of the bigger ones, but luckily it was a bit smaller when it decided to tangle. It's such a mess, but it's also kind of fun... I don't know something about untangling it's fun.
