I untwist the skein into a big loop and expect to be able to unwind the yarn into a ball from the loop. The problem is that I go around once, but now the strand goes under the loop or through the loop. I follow the strand, free it up and wind up another loop, then the stand dives down through the skein again. Instead of the yarn being stacked into loops, it seems to be braided somehow.
