how can one ball of wool get so tangled?

Question

i am knitting a scarf and the wool i am using is fluffy the wool has got so tangled i might just cut the wool now.

Answer 1

Do you have yarn or roving? It sounds like you might have roving, it's very fluffy and isn't spun into true yarn. It will also felt together very quickly if you rub it like in a carrying bag. If you can tease the strips of roving apart, the center of the ball won't be felted and you can start knitting again. If you are using a carrying bag for your knitting, tie a plastic bag snugly around the ball while transporting it. That way you won't have as much rubbing on the wool and it won't felt as quickly. Hope that helps

Answer 2

It depends on what you're doing. If it's intarsia, where you have to turn the knitting, one major way to help is to pin one corner of the work to your pants; that way you'll remember not to keep twisting it in the same direction. You have to turn it right on right side rows, and left on wrong side rows (or vice versa) as opposed to turning it the same way each time. Other than that, one helpful way to do it is to get a clean terra cotta pot, put it upside down over your wool, and run the ends through the hole. Now that you have started knitting, though, this may not be a good solution. One thing I have done is to take a shoebox and poke some holes in the side. Then, cut a diagonal slit from the top of the box going down to each hole; pull one strand yarn through each slit so that it rests in the hole, and put your skeins into the box.
