Original PRUSA PLA JetBlack Fillament came twisted in the middle??

Left Original Prusa i3 MK3S+ to print overnight, came back this morning and saw the crash detected on the screen, looked around and everything was fine with the print. Raised my head and looked at the spool and there it was. Can't think of any other reason than it came from the fabrique like that. Twist is somewhere around the middle of spool, used till that point without any problems. Is this relatable ? Have anyone else come across of spool like this?

 

Kind regards from Bosnia!

It's usually not the spool itself. (It's technically impossible to wind up filament like this)

But if you tangle the filament at the start, it really can tie like a knot after a very long time and hundreds of meters later. One time I watched after I noticed I had a tangle and was amazed how long it went well. Finally it ended up with a similar pattern than in your picture.
