I've done some searching and this type of yarn is also used for bedspreads and shawls. I found a really cute pattern for coasters and I'm going to make some of those to start with. I can't imagine making a bedspread with this thread since the thread is so tiny.Happy hooking!

my mother in lawmade doillies, double sided coaster which are really nice, towel edges. I would have loved to have made a bedspread cover but my skills are not that advanced.
I am sure you will make lovely pretties.
Oh, I used to make baby blanket trim with it, gives it a nice soft touch.
There's a lady on the train home that makes amazing pillowcase edgings with it. I've used the thicker stuff (10?) to crochet a sweater for my carpool driver. It works wonderfully for fillet crochet, and for tiny decorative crochet flowers, too!
tons of uses for this kind of crochet thead--tying quilts, making little flowers that can be sewn to pin backs; coasters, placemats, and so on
My Mom used to crochet with that kind of thread. When I was a kid, our teachers got hankies with crocheted edges for Christmas. They were absolutely beautiful, and I still have a box of the ones that Mom made. Have fun with it.
Oooh I just want to jump into those yarns, lovely! Suzie xxx
I had a friend years back who crocheted a queen-sized bedspread with that. It was beautiful but it took her FOREVER. I love the colors you got......can't wait to see what you make.
