Hi you can make a “duster” using a hanger from the dry cleaners, you cut up all different colors and then attach them very tightly. This is a great project for pre schoolers and/or senior s who need something to do to keep them busy. I just started this one with my 4 year old granddaughter to give her mom for her birthday, she’s very excited about it , small yellow piece of yarn is shown for how you attach it. I started one side and my granddaughter started the other. You could also donate yarn to church’s/temples or groups that make lap blankets. Prayer shawls for the ill or folks in nursing homes. Good luck .
I've used the yarn to create banners for the holidays...like this one with orange yarn carrots for spring or Easter. https://www.exquisitelyunremarkable.com/2015/03/easy-easter-garland-banner.html
