Yarn

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."

Yarn Vomit

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."
