* Scarves are about perfect for two skeins. I made one for Sean's sister in [[Noro Cash Iroha]]. Two skeins was enough for a medium sized scarf, and I kept some back to make a long fringe. I used some odd bits of mohair and tape yarn with the main yarn in the fringe, to make it extra-pretty.

* [http://the.earth.li/~kake/images/london.crafts/kake/noro-rib-and-stripe-scarf.jpg Rib and stripe scarf] from <i>Vogue Knitting: Scarves Two</i> uses two skeins of [[Noro Kureyon]] in an interesting way.

* [http://www.handknitter.sarahpeasley.com/ Sarah Peasley] explains in her April 4, 2004 entry a good way to make sure you get the most out of your two skeins: work some kind of pattern - she suggests lace - for about a foot, then switch to stocking stitch until the first skein runs out. Then make another identical piece and attach them together using [[kitchener stitch]].

* Two skeins will also make a decent sized bag. I'm concocting one now from left-over [[Rowan Big Wool]].

* You can generally make a pair of [[socks]] from two skeins.

* See also [http://wendyknits.net/knit/koigupatterns.htm WendyKnits list of things to make with two skeins of Koigu].
