Loosen up
"My cat loosened up a few strings out of my jumper."
I heard a blogger talking about her cat and how her claws get stuck in her clothes sometimes.
My question is this: Shouldn't it be 'in my jumper' in this example?
"She loosened (up) a few strings in my jumper."
Thank you.

That would be better. Including “up” seems needless. The choice of “strings” is odd. Threads would make sense instead.
