Knowing how many UFOs -- well, to be honest, UnStarted Projects (USPs) I have at home, I was VERy virtuous at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival yesterday; only succumbed to a few super-bargains (then I spent $$ on unusual garden plants at the herb-&-plant tent). So what would be a good project to use up four 275-yd hanks of fingering wool, in a dark heathery gray w/a splash of purple?

for a child - little mittens/gloves/hat. A little black or purple contrast might go nicely for a slightly larger project.

spampot spun a FINE 'yarn':

SOX? (the colours sound delish to me!) How about a pair for you AND a pair for ME???? running and ducking, Noreen
4 x 275 = 1100 yards. That's enough for a shawl, or a lacy vest or small shrug.

I've only just realised that spampot had four skeins! Makes my piddly suggestions seem silly - I was working on the yardage for just one skein. That'll teach me to read more carefully. I think a shawl would be lovely.

A shrug! That's a great idea, Tamar, thank you. Thank everyone else, too, of course. Now to search patterns...
There's a nice, simple shrug at
