The other day while spinning the silk merino frog hair...
AHHHH!
I cross laced the flyer to ease the take up. I needed to adjust I can't even remember what maybe I changed flyer hooks. I left the fiber dangling. So given the fineness or my yarn the whole thing was under tension. Oops flick went my fingernail and the thread snapped!!!!!!
AND I LOST THE STUPID END!!!! It buried itself in the bobbin. Bad enough when it's a "normal" sized yarn. And then to add insult to injury I couldn't get enough leverage to break the thread and make another end?! On the bright side, that I had so much difficulty breaking the yarn as a single bodes well for the strength of the string as warp.... fingers crossed.
STOP LAUGHING at me. I know it's funny but still! Pout! At the time I was so FRUSTRATED it was all going so well then SNAP.

Have you tried tape to find the lost end?
I eventually managed to loosen it enough to snap it and get a free end.
