I have been wondering what to do with leftover yarn of various lengths, fibers, and gauges. I think this is the answer.

I am also going to knit all of the i-cord by hand, and not with a machine, partially because I want to use thinner yarn for hexipuffs and the i-cord machines like thinner yarn, and partly as punishment for buying yarn I didn’t keep track of or use up in a project.

Blue mystery yarn: worsted weight yarn (9 wpi): US10 DPNs, 4 stitch i-cord. This came with a pattern book, to make a hat wand scarf with. Looked like one big gradient skein, but was really 4 small ones that would NOT splice. Didn’t make anything with it except for this i-cord, and got rid of the book.

Brown tweed gradient mystery yarn: super bulky (6 wpi): US15, 3 stitch i-cord. I did make a 15 stitch crochet scarf with this maybe 10 years ago, that was also given to goodwill because it was just too stiff and itchy to be useful. There is a bunch leftover.
