Did that when I was 12 or 13. Tried the yarn truck. After dad and grandpa drug me all over the house we went to the ER. Doc said no big deal, slid a hypodermic needle in with the hook, covered up the barn, and slid it out. Took longer to give me a numbing shot than it did to remove the hook.
I carry a couple of stiff needles (leather sewing needles) with the hope that I will be able to do something similar. But I have never had the opportunity to try it and so far, no one, including me, has been willing to do a test to see how well it works (or not.)
