what would you make with this?

mango moon viscose

This is 150g of mango moon viscose; I received it in the Knitters Treasure Swap. It is kind of stiff but I love the blend. I have never ever knit with Viscose and I dont even know where it comes from. Please educate me. I was thinking of a money bag. My  family has a habit of saving up coins and then cashing them in. The yarn is too stiff for gloves or socks. I would like suggestions. Thanks in advance.

First Koolaid Dye

I used KNITTY.com method for dying with koolaid; stovetop method. Prewashed with a little sink soap; did not post wash. I had 100 g of yarn; added 6 packets of orange koolaid. I added yarn to water then put the dye in. I should have put the dye in the water and stirred before adding yarn. I know, I know..but does it look variegated? It actually looks like a combo of aztec gold and burnt orange. makes me want to do the black cherry color now. I have never tried any other dye method. what do you think of this?
