Perhaps it's just for decorative bows on gifts. Otherwise, ask your wife.
But I'm quite surprised that you want to take on this project. I admit I underestimated your knitting and crocheting skills. :)

Thank you aNNa..........but I have no intention of doing anything with it, except take this photo!

Gudrun (below) has explained how it would be used to make a shawl, but that is way beyond my skill set :-)))

Wow,dieser Knäuel schaut ja richtig schön aus lieber Keith,deine Frau wird beiM Einkaufen ja immer Angst haben,hahaha,super,worauf deine Augen immer gerichtet sind,aber auch schön,dass wir solche Ideen sehen dürfen,du bist echt einer du machst auch aus einer Zitrone Limonade,die jeder trinkt:)),gefällt mir sehr gut,wie du das gerichtet hast,für einen tollen Hintergrund gesorgt hast,wo du dir auch immer Gedanken machst,Ergebnis ist ein exellentes,geniales und schönes Bild :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

My wife is pretty used to me Güni........and nowadays she even finds things I might be interested in photographing :-)

I'm really pleased you found the yarn beautiful, as I did. Thank you so much for your kind (and amusing) comments, which are always appreciated.

Have a lovely evening my friend..........best wishes, Keith..!!

again a beautiful work Keith

Thank you so much Annemarie.......you're very kind. Glad you like it..!!

A great find and a great shot I really like the background and the composition, I like how you have unravelled some of the yarn to add foreground interest, all in all a cracking shot that looks even better viewed large

Thanks very much James..........I'm glad you like the yarn and my photo. I knew as soon as I saw it, that it would be great to photograph.

Once again, thanks for your kind and generous comments. Always appreciated..!!

Have a good weekend :-)

Beautiful details, the background is well chosen as always. I love the pastel colour palette!

For this sort of (trellis) yarn you use large size knitting or crocheting needles which would make for a lightweight shawl with lots of little holes.

I'm really pleased you like my find Gudrun...........as always your comments are very kind and generous. Thank you so much..!!

Thanks also for the information about what it would be used for and how to do it.............I have no intention of trying it, but it's always nice to know!

I'm going to hang on to it for a while, just in case I think of another way to photograph it :-))

Da ist dir auch deine Frau ein große Hilfe,sie weiß auch,worauf dene Augen gerichtet sind,aber ich freu mich immer,wenn ich sehe,mit welcher Freude und Leidenschaft du deine Bilder machst,das macht einen guten Fotografen aus lieber Keith :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Outstanding compo!

looks great and very decent
good job Keith!

A lovely background colour to compliment the yarn Keith, if you want to know how to use it Google Basket lace shawl there is a YouTube video that explains it, thinking about it back in the day when crimplene was all the range an imitation basket weave was produced on circular knitting machines

An extraordinary ball of yarn with a very charming pattern. Elegantly draped to highlight the fabric’s lightness. Perfectly showcased against a tonal background. The details are captured with striking sharpness. A very successful still life.
