When someone comes into a meeting and makes a tangled mess of everything.
Matt: This meeting is a clusterfuck! Stop throwing yarn all over the place!
The man who holds the yarn for the woman of his affection while she knits.
There are three main functions a good yarn monkey holds:
1.Helping convert a skein of yarn into a yarn ball while untangling the knots.
2. Unrolling the yarn as progress on the knitted project is made (also retrieving the ball of yarn should it roll under a table/couch or get trapped somewhere).
3. Providing companionship during the knitting process. This includes conversing, maintaining pleasant facial expression and providing compliments regarding the knitted item.
This yarn is so tangled! I wish I had my yarn monkey here to help me out.
Yarn vomit, also called yarn barf, is a term used in various yarn craft online spaces. It often refers to when someone attempts to pull just the center strand of a yarn skein, and in the process pulls out a large chunk of messy yarn. It can also be used in reference to any highly messy and tangled length of yarn.
"I was excited to use this yarn, but it's just become such an unworkable pile of yarn vomit. I don't think I could untangle it with a month of work."
To have less pointless conversations and do more action. Derives from Australian slang word yarn and garn.
A: I’m sick of not seeing any results. I have so many ideas but skip on so many opportunities.
B: Come on bud, all I see is you spinning yarns about it. Less yarns, more garns please!
A: Should I try to work out a plan?
B: yeh garn.
Spinning a long tale of bullcrap from yer arse.
That's just a bunch of parp yarn!
