A situation or problem that’s more complex than it first appears (as a strand of yarn is actually made of many smaller fibers).

A ball of yarn coming unwound can represent: a situation that’s “coming undone” or “falling apart”, the idea of getting to the bottom of a problem or figuring something out.

Someone winding yarn can represent putting things in order, or a desire to get things under control or organized (or to appear that way to others).
