Phat Yarn Swatch

I decided to knit a swatch of the Phat Yarn to help me decide what to do with it. With 6mm needles in stockinette, I get 13 sts and 18 rows in a 4inch square. The swatch is a bit dense, good for mittens or a toque, but I'd definately go up a needle size or two if I wanted something with a bit more drapiness.

Team Knit from the comments suggested The Scrappy Lengthwise Scarf would be a great use for my Phat Yarn. And it would. The kids thought so too and B was disappointed when I said 80 yards would only be enough for a very skinny scarf.

Any great ideas for a small amount of bulky yarn?
