unthread(ing) Explanation: in diesem Fall würd ich sagen "unthread" oder "untwine", da es um die "Herauslösung" des Garns geht. "aufzwirnen" kann aber auch "threading/twining" bedeuten, wenn das Garn auf eine Spule aufgezwirnt wird. http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=unt... http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=unt... oder auch: untwist, (uncoil) |
