Yarn Projects
Depending on the volume of yarn you have you could make a knitting project or a crochet project. If you are working with bigger bulkier yarn you could arm knit a blanket or throw.
The one thing with yarn projects is they last a long time. I still have a crocheted blanket my grandmother gave me when I graduated. There is something about handmade items. They last a lot longer than commercially made items.
