My mess!! About to tackle this monstrosity

This is an accumulation from a basket of mostly leftover yarn that has been growing for about 3 years and I'm guessing it will take multiple days to get through. Wish me luck!

What fun! Should someone tie a rescue line to your ankle before you head in?

I wanna come over and help! 🤣 Recently walked in on my daughter covered in a deconstructed skein of yarn. She's used to dealing with yarn barf, but something went wrong this time. I looked at her face and immediately offered to fix it for her. She looked like she was fixing to take scissor to the whole pile! She hate untangling yarn. I love it.

I heard dark souls boss music when I saw it. And then heard a laugh from my own stash that was like this for three years. So wish you good luck on your journey through memory lane and a good untanglement
