It's A String Thing!

So last night I decided to do some laundry. I grabbed a stack full of clothes from my closet and carried them to the washer. While walking, I felt a weird tug from the clothes but couldn't see anything so I ignored it and continued on. After the washer was started I turned around to walk back to my room and saw that there was string coming from the washer and, after following the trail, I saw that it led back to my starting point, down the hall and into my room closet. I had a spool of thread in the floor of my closet and it had gotten attached to my clothes.
