She's so freaked out that she can hardly move. The narrator tries to calm her down by rubbing the yarn with his fingers, but the yarn is getting tangled, so he can't get it off. Then he squeezes again, but this time, he's using his fingers to pull the yarn away from the narrator's fingers. The yarn is so tight that the narrator has to rub it all over himself to get rid of it. He's worried that if he does this, the yarn will get tangled again, and he won't be able to get off it.
