I look at it as a CHALLENGE when yarn gets all tangled up. You have to take it slow, logically...and know when to WALK AWAY from a lost cause!
It’s an acquired skill. ;)
I never learned to walk away from that kind of a tangle. I stuck with it until I could wind it all into balls. Some of the rescues (other people “kindly” gave me they yarn stashes their [insert type of female relative here] left behind when they passed on or otherwise couldn’t take it with them) were horribly messed up, with different weights as well as textures.
If I got too frustrated with it, I would set it aside and find a project of my own to do so the yarn could flow through my fingers. Then it was back at it. (It doesn’t take much to keep me amused!)
