Hello! I bought three skeins of this yarn:

Several years ago. I have the “candy store” color way. It’s incredible yarn, soft and the colors are gorgeous. I initially bought it to make the pattern that accompanies it but the pattern was terrible and I didn’t like it once finished so I frogged it. This yarn was an investment so now it’s just sitting here. Before I try to sell it, is there something that you think would look great with this yarn? I don’t need any more hats and I’d be open to a scarf but I don’t know what type of stitch pattern would look nice. It’s fairly busy so cables wouldn’t show up. I have looked for hours and hours on revelry for super bulky patterns or ideas for this yarn and this yardage and I wasn’t crazy about anything. I don’t need slippers or mittens. I don’t have enough for a vest…but would consider buying a few more skeins (it’s “on sale” now. Still crazy expensive). But I’d love your thoughts. I’d love to use it but it may not take another frogging.
Here’s a photo of the yarn for easy reference. I have three skeins that comes out to about 240 yards. It’s super bulky
Wow, it is gorgeous yarn!
A scarf in a plain pattern, maybe stockinette with wide garter stitch borders would be simple enough to show off the yarn and not distract. Seed stitch would work too.
What about a baby blanket or something for the home, a pillow cover, a couple of placemats for the table or a container of some sort?

Have you seen this scarf pattern?

The colours work really well, it has a slip stitch 4 row repeat and seems to look good both sides and lay flat too.
My little mister would adore a cushion cover in the yarn colourway you bought, it’s right up his street!
You mentioned a vest but not having enough. With it being so epensive maybe you could pair it with a solid in one of the colours, in a more budget friendly yarn? Then do top half in sold bottom half in multicolour, or a front/back split, or stripes?
This striped sweater would be fabulous in this yarn and 1 or 2 complimentary solids.
What about a jacket? This one looks like a rectangle and you could make the large plain section in your expensive yarn then the lace sections and borders in a solid colour?
