Sounds cool. If you had a cat, the yarn would all be in a mess immediately!

Actually, it was in a mess when I took it from the bag!

Some skeins were difficult to find the center, where the tie was, and some used a tie when normally, the opposite ends of the yarn made the tie, so the work has been slow and careful.

There were also a lot of breaks that had to be tied. Had it been a bunch of commercial yarns, the breaks would already have been tied and trimmed. And the thickness isn’t uniform, either. So whatever I make will take some judicious hiding of the ends. The variation in thickness will be taken care of in the knitting process.
