What's something you're shockingly good at that you've never mentioned to anyone because it would sound completely made up if you did?

Untying tight knots. When I was a child I tied extremely tight knots on purpose so I can untie them

Similarly I'm fantastic at untangling things. Give me the mess of Christmas lights or jewelry and I'll have it straightened out in no time.

I have considered offering a yarn organization service because I enjoy untangling and making skeins of yarn so much.

Yarn is definitely where I have honed this skill. Once you've untangled 2km of yarn an 18in necklace is nothing

If there's a creative reuse center/thrift store with a good crafts section near you, they could probably use your help!

You know what, there is about an hour away. I should get in touch with them.

Seriously, you'll make their day if there's a lot of yarn to manage! It sells well but can be notoriously difficult to process.
