Spin a Yarn

spin (somebody) a ˈyarn/ˈtale tell somebody a story, usually a long one, which is often not true: She came an hour late and spun him a yarn about her car breaking down.

Sailors used to spin yarns (long threads) to make ropes. They were also famous for telling unlikely stories of their adventures, which is perhaps the origin of the idiom.
