I Love a Good Yarn

I have no idea what to do with this yarn:

Many years ago, my brother won this yarn for me in a silent auction. It came with a pattern for the most hideous shawl I’ve ever seen. Think Stevie Nicks meets the Lion King. Some of it is feathery, some of it furry, some ribbony, some sort of has tassel-like bits coming off it. Together, they were an abomination (I never knit the shawl – but there was a picture on the pattern, which I’ve since discarded), but separately, they’re actually very pretty. I just have no idea what to do with them, so for years now, and until I figure it out, they remain part of my home decor.
