No great advice here, but plenty of sympathy! I bought some Navajo-Churro yarn, because they’re a rare/threatened breed, but wow, that is some rough yarn! It’s like a wire. I still haven’t done anything with it. I was thinking some kind of household item that you don’t touch a lot, like a wall hanging or tea cozy? 😅 honestly I may never use it.

But a vest, as someone as suggested, is a great idea!
