I have a skein (or two) that looks like the white twin of that one. "Hat and fingerless gloves" springs to my mind as a good option for showcasing the lovely yarn without having to use complex techniques or ending up with a useless flat thing.

EvilPixie Dec 2018 9:16pm, 26 Dec 2018 15,767 posts	0 EvilPixie DaVinci cowl looks interesting Is it easy? Gloves and hat would work? I have several single special skeins I bought as I loved!! I also have 24 mini skeins from last Christmas that I’ve not used!!
Meglet Dec 2018 9:45pm, 26 Dec 2018 19,924 posts	0 Meglet I have a book of single skein patterns. Though I don’t think I’ve ever used it. I find the Ravelry pages quite good to look through the projects people have made with a specific pattern and see which sort of colourways it suits

It would have to have a repetitive dye pattern. Or find the yarn on Ravelry and see what other people have done with the same colourway. (I had a quick squizz for yours but couldn't find any completed projects.)
