One of the engineers on board the Spark In Darkness got into a bet with the other engineers regarding their alien ward's capabilities a few days ago. Where the engineers came up with the yarn no one is sure, but about twenty minutes later money changed hands.

As soon as the humans weren't looking the Huragok slipped through the door to Milliways and got another few balls of yarn and sets of needles. When you've got four tentacles and a couple of moderately manipulation-capable tendrils, you can learn to do many things indeed with yarn.
