That &%$#&_(*&^!#&* yarn!!!!

What in the %$#&*%$*!#$% is the deal with skeins or hanks of yarn??  How is it that 'yarn' has been in existence this long and STILL no one has come up with a decent way for it to be wound and then used?!?  

I found this beautiful wool blend yarn from Araucania.  It's a machine washable yarn which is wonderful and it's a beautiful blue colorway.  It's wound in a "hank" when purchased and you then have to roll it in a ball for ease of use.  Any of you who crochet even a little bit, know it's a big circle when you 'unroll' the hank.  I searched for the first end I could find and began to roll it up.  It didn't take long before it started to bunch up and get itself tangled into a huge ball of mess.  I spent more than 2 hours trying to 'un-knot' the hank and I only have a tennis ball size of yarn rolled and the rest is a nest of confusion! 

Maybe that should be my next project.  Figure out a way to wind yarn up for retail AND for use!  :-)
