Have I got a yarn for you! No it's not a wool, alpaca, or even a llama-ma yarn (that's a joke son, a joke).
Don't bust my chops you
knitpickers. this is a yarn about UN-
ravelry
My partner had some issues with her Lizard Ridge Blanket. After making all the parts, the finished project just wasn't coming together the way she wanted it to. Bring on the frogging and tinking that comes along when the yarn from an old project lights the way to the next project. Having tinked/frogged her way through multiple skeins of yarn she was left with the unhappy knotty problem of taking the kinks out. Knitting with kinky yarn is, well - dare I say, not very kinky, it's just plain a pain in the sheep shank. I can't knit worth a spit splice but I can be such a knit wit given the opportunity -note to UK/NZ/Falkland readers it's a knot-knot what you first thought.
Having been of some assistance in past projects with, among other things, straightening tinked/frogged yarn, I was asked to come up with a solution to every F/T's nightmare.
Infomercial time: How much would you expect to be charged for this product/information? $20, .... $50, .... $100, ....
How much time and frustrating effort have you spent straightening your yarn in the rope twist method, steaming, combing, or any of the other time consuming, yarn tangling. For this kind of knotty yarn you might as well have left it to your cat.

I said CUTE!
What would you pay to avoid these tangly frustrations: $29.99, $49.99, $99,99?
Here, we at Volcano Villarrica, which recently popped its top, have the solution to all your problems ... Ahhhh, maybe knot ... for the low low low (does all this lowing sound at all cow like yet?) be-low the fold price.
Here we have it folks, a not so simple hanger that can be found wherever you buy your plastic hangers. Simply pinch one end of your yarn to one of the crossbars in the hanger and wind until you are out of yarn; tie it off with your own special knot, thoroughly wet it down, then hang it out to dry. I have done an entire skein on one hanger with excellent results. No kinks.
Looks like this when under low tension and drying but the final results are astounding. I'd show you but then ... hehe ... I'd have to charge you.
