Pretty wool but I'm giving it away

I have been doing a lot of crochet lately trying to use up all my yarn. However, I will be donating the fancy yarn you see in the photo. The brand is Flutter and it’s a feathery type yarn which is difficult to knit and/or crochet. It’s really hard to see the stitches. I will take it to the handicraft group in our village and hope that they can perhaps use it in some way. Sometimes, making things isn’t worth the effort and that’s how I feel about this. It’s very pretty and would make a lovely scarf but for someone else.

At least it's not as bad as eyelash yarn, where the little bits keep shedding...

That looks just as bad. Bits of this come off from time to time too.

The colours are very delicate and go well together.

This is so pretty. I think perhaps it is not enough to make a sweater, but it is good enough to knit a scarf.

There is certainly enough to make a scarf. I think there are two different colours and some balls of a variegated yarn but they all look good together.

Oh that is sure pretty but as soon as I looked at the photo I thought it would be hard to work with.

You can't see the stitches easily especially with older eyes.

@JudyEv I think it can be use in art projects and use as edging

It's a fancy yarn and would look lovely made up but it's not easy to work with.

I think so too, and it would be the easiest thing to do with it. Just straight work without any complicated pattern or shaping.

@JudyEv It makes sense that you want to give it away. Too bad it does not work for you. I hope you will be able to find a new home for it.

Someone with better eyesight might like it. I'm a bit sorry that I can't use it.

@Hannihar This was given to me. I guess that person didn't know what to do with it either.

@JudyEv That happens that we buy something and find out we cannot use it so have to figure out what to do with it.

I can see why it would be hard to knit or crochet with it. Hopefully someone else can use it.

Oh you're so kindhearted Ms. Judy. I appreciate it much that you're giving it away to someone else that can benefit it. My niece also loves to do crochet and she's just learning it from video tutorials.

That's exactly right. It's not an easy yarn to work with when your eyesight isn't 100%
