Unraveling

I'm trying to unravel a chaos mess of yarn. It's so pretty but it's a complex knot and tends to break apart quite often. I mean, this isn't an analogy for my life but kinda close, right?

Anyway, I have plans to make a hat. I've experimented with two weights of yarn and neither suited. This will, I think, but I have to untwist it first. that could take days. Then I'll have to tie all the little balls it keeps breaking into back into one big ball. Sigh. I hope this is worth it.

Again, not an analogy, but basically could be.
