Re using yarn

This is a skein of Fybrespates Vivacious DK Merino wool. 8 years ago I used it to knit my husband an infinity scarf which he wore once an left it in a draw, never to see the light of day again. So. I decided to unravel the scarf and use the wool for something else. R complained saying that he'd forgotten about it. So I've agreed to knit him another scarf but one that is easy to wrap around his neck! I've soaked the wool for 30 minutes to relax it and get rid of all the kinks. Then hung it on the line to dry with a weight on the end to keep it straight. It's looking good and I'm just amazed that all the kinks have disappeared.
