Eyelash yarn is a lot of fun to work with and using just a little gives you a big effect.
A case in point is this eyelash yarn headband, which can be knit up in a flash in garter stitch. This is the perfect little something for a girl or a woman who wants to add something special to an outfit and keep her hair out of her eyes.
It could also be wrapped double and worn around the wrist as a funky knit bracelet.
