Ok I’m gonna go insane, the faux fur yarn I got is way too think and I want to split it into smaller strands because you can separate the yarn into three separate strands…but I can’t find a efficient way to split the yarn without it putting itself into a knot or twisting back together again 
if anyone can help I would really appreciate it because I really want to use this yarn! 
This is what I’m using
i dont think theres a non time consuming way to do this, since i had to unravel yarn recently too. but ill explain how i did it.
i manually unraveled it first, then started my project using the 1 strand. then i used a stitch marker to keep the project from pulling back out when i continue to undo it.
the way i figured out is to hold the 3-strand-end in one hand, then 2 of the strands in the other(project strand is not held). then you swing the project around the yarn that you are holding in the direction that it is twisted.
i hit my face multiple times with the project, but it didnt knot or twist back together again.
lmk if its understandable, because idk how to explain it properly 
I get it! Thank you so much, I’ll definitely try that! 
Ive made loads of fluffy things using that yarn and its so annoying. TBH i just gave up on separating it cause i had the same problem. The way it works up isnt actually too thick
I nade a floofy cow from that yarn and i personlly just used it as it was. U do have to buy quite abit of uarn tho.
This yarn stressed me out, but I made a chicken out of it. I didn’t think to try to separate the strands
