What can I do with this yarn?

[AdenPenn]

Okay guys, I need some help.

 

For Christmas I got a skein of bamboo yarn. It is in a pretty denim blue. It is just one skein, 3oz. I really want to make something with it for me.

 

So the question is what can I make? Is there something small enough I could make?

 

Any suggestions are more than welcome! Thanks!

Can you provide a little more info? What is the exact brand and weight? Yardage info is also helpful and is usually on the label. There are a ton of things you can do with one skein!

Let's see here...

 

It is called bamboospun. looks like it is from Hobby Lobby.

 

According to the label it is medium (4) weight and 148 yards.

 

I hope that helps a bit more.

 

If I have to get more I could but I am not sure if it is expensive or not, and I can't really afford costly yarn.

An open-work fashion scarf...a small bag...a book cover...a head band...

There are a lot of things you could make, but bamboo tends to be very soft, so I would say fingerless driving mitts, head band ear warmers, ballet type slippers (using a sturdier yarn for the sole), or possibly a keyhole short scarf.

The Queen Anne's Lace Scarf is beautiful! I think I'd make that. The color would look good for when you wear jeans, too.

The bamboo yarn, in my experience, is lovely but stretches like all get out. My husband k..t a beautiful sweater in it. After the first time he wore it, the sleeves would have fit a gorilla. Now we only use that yarn for scarves.

I have some bamboo and plan on making a scarf someday with it....since you only have one skein you could crochet it the long way so you get the length you want and then it will be as wide as you have enough yarn for. It may be a skinny type scarf.

 

What about one of those hood-type scarves so it keeps your head warm and then wraps around your neck but doesn't have to be too long. Good luck!

The yarn is not that expensive at HL so if you ran out, you could get more. But there's plenty you could do with one skein.

 

I vote for The Queen Anne's Lace Scarf too!

Thanks guys for all the great ideas! I have some jotted down/bookmarked. I'll let you know what I decided on.

 

(I would love the Queen Anne Lace scarf but that is far far far far beyond my skill level. )
