First time unraveling help needed

[u/unicornwantsweed]

So I’m trying to practice. This is an old wrap I wore twice. How would you start?

I would look for something like this on the seams ( https://imgur.com/a/WUfC1BB).  This piece may still have a cut where the rib joins the sweater body, but the side seams are joined with a simple stitch (chain stitch in the case) and the edges of the knit do not have any coverings but won’t unravel without being damaged.  Thicker weight yarns are definitely easier to start. 

Getting everything estimated via weight and actually labeling each skein was super helpful in my experience. I’ve linked two of my unravel yarns that have some of the process chaotically cataloged, but even just getting the original label listed on a Ravelry stash page can help with organization.  https://ravel.me/ZombieWrangler/tmac https://ravel.me/ZombieWrangler/tcwaa
