A real belter of a story, especially one which is funny or surprising. A yarn may be completely truthful, but it is rather common for a yarn to contain a Furphy or two, i.e. exagerrations for the sake of a better story.
It is important to note that listeners will rarely care whether or not a yarn is truthful, as the priority of a yarn is to entertain as opposed to providing an accurate recount. There is a classic saying in Australia illustrating this point, "never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn."

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.
