Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX must be contained at Site-19 in a safe with dimensions of no less than 15in3, consisting of thick iron. The object and its safe must be under the accompaniment of no less than one two personnel, Level 3 or higher, at all times. The object must be fed every 6 4 hours with a 12in×3in×1in wooden board, preferably pine wood,
Staff assigned to XXXX must keep yarn scissors on their person at all times. SCP-XXXX must have 32 feet of yarn trimmed off on a biweekly basis (more frequent and/or longer trimming is necessary, especially if additional growth occurs). Any instances of SCP-XXXX-1 that have been found must be contained and incinerated immediately.
When being tested, SCP-XXXX’s room of experimentation must be guarded by no less than two Level 4 personnel. D-class personnel are to be used for any form of human interaction with XXXX (if to be experimented on).
Reportings of those with any detail coequal to the subsequential object description below must be reported and investigated by the Foundation at once.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an animate ball of yarn with a wormlike movement. SCP-XXXX has not been known to morph or shapeshift in any way. It instead erects into a full ball of yarn. Growth of XXXX is caused by its consumption of only wood organic materials, stony materials, glass, [DATA EXPUNGED]; therefore, it seems that what it consumes will become yarn.
When part of SCP-XXXX has been amputated, the cut-off part will come alive as well as the original yarn of XXXX. Amputated objects from SCP-XXXX is classified as SCP-XXXX-1.
Scientists have attempted to find the source of what keeps SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 functioning, but nothing but yarn thread was found inside.
Addendum XXXX-01: Discovery
On ██/██/20██, SCP-XXXX was discovered when an old lady in █████████, █████████ reported that her table was eaten up by termites and that her ball of yarn had gone missing. When exterminators arrived, the lady was in shock. When authorities arrived at the scene, they found that the lady’s yarn was moving. One of the Foundation’s undercover officers, Lt. [REDACTED], reported the SCP. Afterward, all non-Foundation members that witnessed the scene (including the civilian officers) were each given class-B amnestics.
Addendum XXXX-02: Location/Relocation
SCP-XXXX was originally contained and sent to Site-64 at the E Wing. After multitudes breaches caused by experimentation for SCP-XXXX on 11/14/20██ [see Test Log XXXX-A4]. SCP-XXXX was relocated to Site 21. After experimentation with SCP-066 on 12/01/20██, SCP-066 became aggressive towards SCP-XXXX since then, and SCP-XXXX was relocated to Site-19 (current containment location) on 12/21/20██.
Addendum XXXX-03: Test Logs
Test Log XXXX-A1
Date: 09/26/20██
Researcher: Dr. ████
Description: SCP-XXXX has been amputated and duplicated into an instance of XXXX-1 for use of this experiment. SCP XXXX-1 is to be used against acid and a shredder.
When SCP-XXXX was submerged into hydrofluoric acid, it didn't corrode. In fact, the acid seemed to strengthen the yarn string.
When the professor shredded SCP-XXXX, the substances of the yarn grew into more of SCP-XXXX-1.
In conclusion to this experiment, SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 were still only vulnerable to fire. Later tests will be experimented based on preliminary procedures of this experiment in which the data was to be put in.
Test Log XXXX-A2
Date: 10/01/20██
Researcher: Dr. ████
Description: Before the first test (XXXX-A1) of SCP-XXXX began, SCP-XXXX was found consuming glass off of a test tube. When Dr. ████ saw this, he made a note of SCP-XXXX being capable of consuming other materials than wood alone.
Under his supervision, the professor had provided other materials to SCP-XXXX — plastic, metal (iron), bamboo, nylon, leather, dirt, and even yarn — to see if it could consume the materials.
In conclusion, SCP-XXXX was able to consume every provided material except for iron. The results were given to O5-█ for examination, and containment procedures were changed.
Test Log XXXX-A3
Date: 11/13/20██
Researcher: Dr. ████
Description: For this test, SCP-XXXX was tested for interaction with humans and animals. The first subject to be tested with XXXX was an ant. The results of this were [DATA EXPUNGED], which was considered a failure to Dr. ████. Subsequently, a praying mantis was tested to interact with SCP-XXXX. The same thing had happened, but this time the mantis had actually tried to combat SCP-XXXX and afterwards [DATA EXPUNGED].
A cat was tested with SCP-XXXX. The interaction between the cat and XXXX was different from the two previous test subjects, as for this time the cat was playing with the ball of yarn, tearing it up. Eventually, the cat had partially amputated SCP-XXXX, creating live multiplicities of SCP-XXXX-1 instances. The test procedure with the cat was stopped immediately to prevent any harm to the cat, and the cat was confiscated. All instances of SCP-XXXX-1 were incinerated afterward.
Test Log XXXX-A4
Date: 11/14/20██
Researcher: Dr. ████
Description: Results of test XXXX-A4 was considered a failure. SCP-XXXX breached containment during experimentation and was eventually contained, soon relocated to Site-21. The following document (Document XXXX-A4) is the experiment transcript for this experiment, where Dr. ████ tested to see how SCP-XXXX would interact with humans.
DOCUMENT XXXX-A4
D-11684 is a 33-year-old African-American male with a standard build and is known for being effective in other SCP experiments done. He is equipped with yarn scissors, in case anything may happen during interaction with SCP-XXXX; a wooden beam used to feed SCP-XXXX; and a thread needle. He enters the experiment room that contains SCP-XXXX and a checkered picnic blanket.
D-11684 starts looking around, looking puzzled and somewhat perplexed.
D-11684: Okay, what the hell am I supposed to do here?
Dr. ████: You are to interact with the subject to get a reaction from it. You have been given a wooden board, some clippers, and a needle.
D-11684: What can I do?
Dr. ████: Try knitting the blanket.
D-11684: But —
Dr. ████: No excuses.
D-11684: Fine.
D-11684 puts down the wood board as SCP-XXXX suddenly consumes the board as if it were a termite. In response, D-11684 panics.
D-11684: Oh, hell no! What the hell is it doing!?
Dr. ████: It's consuming the wood board. It's supposed to do that.
D-11684: How is a fucking ball of yarn supposed to eat a wooden plank?! How is it supposed to eat a damn thing at all!?
Dr. ████: It’s called an anomaly, you incompetent imbecile! Wood is this SCP’s most preferred meal, but it has been tested to eat other materials. Now, in front of you is a picnic blanket.
D-11684: Ugh, should I try knitting into it?
Dr. ████: You will.
D-11684: *Groan* Fine.
D-11684 reluctantly begins to knit SCP-XXXX into the blanket, but a few seconds later, SCP-XXXX had suddenly bit some flesh off of his left hand, as D-11684 suddenly screams and cuts off SCP-XXXX a couple of times, flinging away what became a XXXX-1 instance. Unfortunately, this had caused a breach in containment and the experiment was discontinued. D-11684 was escorted back for [REDACTED] as containment procedures were taken for SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-1, and eventually a few other SCPs that were breached by XXXX-1 instances.
Test Log XXXX-B
Date: 12/01/20██
Researcher: Dr. ██████████
Description: SCP-XXXX was tested to interact with SCP-066, and the experiment ended short. SCP-XXXX tried to consume SCP-066 but failed. SCP-066 turned into a cat and clawed XXXX into pieces, causing them to grow into instances of SCP-XXXX-1. The instances were annihilated afterward. [DATA EXPUNGED]
