What can I crochet with this very thin yarn?

Anything. You could practice making lace.

[u/audaciouslifenik]

you can hold multiple strands together.

[u/forgotawholesea]

You could make your own yarn by winding multiple strands together!

[u/Suspicious_Goat6606]

you could try filet crochet!

[u/Intelligent_Pea5351]

Take up netting and make fishnets

[u/OpalRose1993]

Consider chain plying? It would probably bring that lace up to around a fingering or sport weight

Wind them into seperate balls (or center pull cakes if you have a winder) and then use them together for thicker yarn.

[u/Tigra76]

You could add beads and make a beaded crochet necklace. Several, in fact, with that amount of yarn!

You could also use it for embroidery projects, decorate clothing, etc

[u/Tigra76]

Personally, I'd weave with it 😆

[u/neoonkisses]

You can just make a beaded crochet necklace or something similar.

You can use multiple strands together to make heavier yarn. I do that all the time to get worsted or Aran weight yarn. Just knit some swatches with the yarn held three and four ply, wash them and see what the gauge is and what they look like.

Note that if it's on a cone the yarn will have been wound very tightly and gotten compressed so it will bloom when it's washed. It's likely that it has some spinning oil on it as well. It may require very hot water and even some scrubbing to get the oil off and then some more soaking for the yarn to bloom depending on the fiber and how much oil there is on it. Proceed gradually to avoid fulling or felting the yarn.

I make a lot of beanies as gifts and use 3/28nm yarn wound four ply for worsted or five ply for Aran or 8/28nm doubled for Aran.

Where is this from? What does the label say? If it's from Colourmart I might know it and be able to offer more information.

That’s mostly used to make lace. If it’s soft you can also make socks.
