I don’t think I’d wear something made of it, and it’s not in colors I’d use to decorate my house.
I used a similar yarn for tassels on my studio curtains and love the effect, but don’t need pink.
Great suggestions!
I have a big pink bottlebrush tree in my holiday decorations box. It might look great with a garland of this yarn.
So that’s about a yard claimed.
I have three 50g balls. Because, you know, I couldn’t just buy one, had to have them ALL. Especially since they were only 50¢ each. They’re about $7 each on eBay!
I used a similar yarn as one strand of some handspun yarn (the other strand, green, was spun by me), with the bobbles popping out like berries on a vine. Branching off from that idea, you could make a really cute twine by twisting this up with white or black crochet thread. Kind of like a mashup of striped baker’s twine and pom-pom trim. No tools needed, just twist the night away.
Another possibility would be to incorporate long strands into a Rapunzel scarf or a similar no-knit scarf, with other scraps of various complimentary yarns.
Some yarns look better as a skein/ball than as a finished product, and I think that’s definitely the case with these. They’re so delightful in and of themselves! And you can’t beat the price…
I’m a sucker for all these types of novelty yarn, especially when my local Tuesday Morning puts them on clearance. I usually end up double strand knitting them with a solid yarn that matches. I make a scarf or hat, then give it to someone who I know would enjoy it. My niece has been a frequent recipient. Right now my stash is loaded up with them just waiting for inspiration.
