Mr FF told me not to post this

Continuing to knit up the stash, I started using a sizeable quantity of an unknown but very soft fine yarn to make Tender, a pretty scarf pattern by Maanel that is a free Ravelry download.  The wool was sort of cone shaped but without the usual central cardboard core.
It's always interesting how yarn unwinds, I am delighted when a simple cake of fibre reveals intricate winding patterns, and always cross when the middle of a cake unravels and gets mixed up with the leading thread.
However, I have never seen yarn unwind like this before, someone has a sense of humour or is it just me.

    I was enjoying your lovely knitting, the interesting commentary about the unwinding and then ...wham! Such a visual - you got me! There was whooping and much laughing out loud.
    merci mon ami
