Yarn-valanche

a Yarn-valanche apparently consists of a veritable avalanche of yarn or other crocheted items. These could include anything from a knitted sweater, to a comfy blanket or even a simple ball of yarn.

Dwight: Hey man wanna go to Wawa and shoot craps in the alley way?

Gerald: Nah' man, I gotta clean out my closet. It's full of sweaters and comforters my grandma be knittin' for me. It's like a Yarn-valanche in there yo!

Dwight: A'ight man, dueces!

yarn diet

When a crafter is financially broke and cannot afford to buy more yarn.

Until I pay off all of my bills I have to go on a yarn diet. This sucks because I saw some really yummy yarn on sale.

Yarn balls

When a cat starts to snuggle and you start to feel all warm, cuddly and loved, they suddenly hop away for no apparent reason, leaving you feeling cold and used.

My cat left me with yarn balls this morning, and it hurt.

Ripping yarn

Australian slang for a good story.

Did you read ‘Your Royal Highness’ by Rachel Hawkins? It’s a ripping yarn.

Yarn Martyr

A person whose annoying or derision worthy behaviour actually has a net positive effect on the receiver, by providing them with hilarious stories to share with their friends, despite the actual encounter remaining annoying.

This person is actually (usually unwittingly) sacrificing themselves for the stories of others, by offering to take the role of fool.

This guy at work used to be the biggest jerk, but now he's transcended jerk and become a yarn martyr, so at least I get these great stories out of having to put up with him
